Rarely open to the public, this Woodside estate is home to more 115 sculptures by renowned artists such as Jun Kaneko, Viola Frey, and Andy Goldsworthy. These stunning pieces are artfully interspersed among the property's magnificent oaks, hills, creeks, trails, and forests, creating a fascinating experience that balances nature with three-dimensional art.
