Background The Wilson Estate Home & Properties
The Properties: The Wilson Estate (TWE).
This section offers a window into the properties that form “The Wilson Estate (TWE)”. TWE encompasses the tranquillity of our primary residence in Pemberton, to a coastal property in Busselton and our city escape in Applecross, and the iconic Elizabeth Quay. Each property reflects a different chapter of our journey—how we live, what we value, and the lifestyle we’re building for us and future generations.
Here, we share the stories behind each home: why it matters to us, how it came to be, and how it continues to evolve. Whether garden transformations, or the small, personal details that give each space its character, this section brings together the threads of our properties into one narrative. It’s about place, elegance, belonging, and creating environments that bring joy, comfort, and a sense of peace for us and those that support and live in our properties.
