A grand sandstone home surrounded by English-style gardens in the Southern Highlands. Viewing by appointment only.

Witness to almost 150 years of elegant living, Golden Vale Homestead is a magnificent c1870 property set on 200 acres of lush parkland near Sutton Forest, Gundungurra Country.

Golden Vale was home to many owners over the years. The land was first promised to free settler Michael Hogan, who sold Golden Vale to emancipated convict Thomas Wilmot in 1830 for 39 pounds. Edward Carter later purchased Golden Vale from Wilmot in 1857 and built the grand homestead to house his growing family.

Today, the homestead features an extensive collection of furniture and art, as well as outbuildings dating from the nineteenth century, including stables and woolshed.

Viewing is by appointment only

Golden Vale welcomes group tours (coach) to the property at anytime of year.

Admission Charges:

  • $20pp for a tour of the house and gardens including a cup of tea
