LAURISTON HOUSE circa 1866 HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY
OSWALDS COTTAGE / LAURISTON HOUSE circa 1866
Set on 3000 square metres, built for Robert Dent Oswald by Bowe and Sons, this historically significant home is built of solid basalt stone and occupies a prominent position on entry to historic Maldon. Oswald, originally from Scotland, became one of Maldons most prominent mining magnates of the Gold-rush. Today the property is almost fully intact and comprises a grand formal entry with a hedge, wrought iron fence, central pathway, brick walled garden and a number of old fashioned fruit trees. The home has a wide veranda with distinctive arched timber fretwork and tuck pointed stone work. The home has a grand arched hallway, 4 main rooms, ornate timber windows/shutters, marble surround fireplaces, and 4 panelled doors. There is a rear vestibule, farmhouse kitchen with pantry, two small maids rooms, a bathroom, slate flagstone courtyard, an old well, cellar and outdoor wash house. A large meandering garden backs onto State Forest/Anzac Hill, and includes a garage, and a number of shade and fruit trees.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, not to be missed.
