A rare legacy estate: First time offered to market in 200 years. A trophy landholding of international significance, Newbury Farm presents one of the largest single estates in Australia's prestigious Southern Highlands. Spanning an impressive 407 hectares (1,005 acres), this legacy property represents a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition opportunity. Originally granted in 1822 by Governor Macquarie and remarkably intact through two centuries of private ownership, Newbury Farm now enters the public market for the first time since European settlement. The property's temperate climate with four distinct seasons strongly resembles that of rural England, a similarity noted by early colonial explorers who described the region as "resembling a fine extensive pleasure ground in England".
