Can you help me name my house

Page 1 of 2
Like most builders ours is given us a name plaque for our house, i have one idea of what to call it but was hoping i could get so suggestions.
We are on 5 acres in the hunter valley, NSW - but no nr the vineyards. we have views of beautiful mountains and quiet a few gum trees on the property.
We have came up with 'Valley Views'.

Can you suggest anything else?

Thanks

Is there any other history to the land that you could draw on to get a name?
We've been trying to think of the "right" name for our property for the past 2 years. So far, it's "Lot 2"


It's not easy.....

hmm a house in the mountains? How about "Serenity Chalet"?

Or "Emoh Ruo" ?

Or, do you prefer a non-Oz sound to it?!?

You see, we are totally guessing here. Can you give us a photo ?!?!? What style of house it is (at least externally)? It all matters ...
What about using an aboriginal word? I was thinking of something like Yara, which means gum tree in the Awabakal language which I think is correct for the Hunter Valley area.

Thanks for the suggestion - we are from a very well known family in the area (hubbys grandparents_ and you cant go anywhere without someone knowing someone in the family so i may just look into this.
