Jarvisfield, Picton, Heritage site in Picton, Australia.
Jarvisfield is a heritage estate featuring a two-storey Georgian Revival mansion with single-storey wings flanking the main building and an original front verandah supported by timber columns. The property now sits within a golf course that has incorporated the historical structures into its layout.
A military officer acquired the estate in 1810 and named it after the maiden name of a governor's wife from the colonial period. The land was later converted into a golf course while preserving the original structures.
The name honours the wife of a colonial governor, and today the grounds function as a golf course while maintaining historical buildings. Visitors encounter rare tree species like Chinese funeral cypress that remain from the original landscape.
The estate can be visited through the golf club that has operated on the grounds since the 1960s and surrounds the heritage buildings. Visitors should be aware that the main property functions as an active golf course, so accessibility to certain areas may vary.
A mid-19th century stone barn was converted into a golf pro shop while retaining its original architectural character. This adaptive reuse demonstrates how the historical building has been repurposed for modern needs without losing its distinct identity.
