Nestled in the Blue Mountains is one of New South Wales’ most historically significant properties, Wynstay Estate, a mountain retreat that is now on the market for the first time in its 150 years of history.
The landmark estate was originally built for the Dublin-born Sydney merchant Richard Wynne, who purchased the property to create an English Park estate with grand architecture. His vision was eventually realised by his grandson, who oversaw the construction of Wynstay’s handsome c.1920s sandstone homestead, a Georgian-style building designed by architects Joseland & Gilling.
Built from locally quarried sandstone by Scottish stonemasons, the homestead features grand columns and enjoys impeccable views out to the mountains. However, its c.1892 private Turkish bath house is the real historical drawcard, being only one of two remaining in Australia.
Along with its fairytale homestead and heritage-listed Turkish bath house, Wynstay is also home to an original c.1875 two-bedroom cottage, a four-bedroom Victorian home with a wrap-around verandah, and an original gatekeeper’s lodge, which dates back to 1891.
On the market!
Located in Mount Wilson, Wynstay Estate is a landmark property with a history that dates back to 1875. The Blue Mountains estate features a grand homestead and several heritage dwellings and outbuildings.
Wynstay is scheduled to go to auction on December 5.
Surrounding Wynstay’s numerous heritage dwellings are beautiful mature trees, including oaks, magnolias, cherries and maples, as well as a sunken garden, fountains and stone pathways that lead you through the gorgeous grounds.
Wynstay is scheduled to go to auction on December 5, with its sale to bring 150 years of unbroken single-family ownership to an end. We can only hope its new custodians maintain its architectural history and enchanting gardens.
