Brush Farm

Built in 1820 by Gregory Blaxland, Brush Farm is one of the oldest buildings in New South Wales. This imposing two-storey mansion has been restored to its former glory by the City of Ryde.

Brush Farm House was built in circa 1820 by Gregory Blaxland, following his purchase of the Brush Farm Estate in 1807. Brush Farm House is not only one of Australia`s oldest houses but also one of the most substantial houses surviving from the Macquarie period. Brush Farm House represents a nationally important site where some of the colony`s initial land grants were made.
