The Homestead, Chipping Norton

The Homestead stands on Charlton Avenue featuring architectural elements from the late Victorian period with characteristics of 1880s Australian residential construction.

Built between 1884 and 1893, the property initially belonged to William Alexander Long who established a productive horse breeding operation on the grounds.

The site represents the evolution of European settlement in New South Wales, transitioning from indigenous lands to agricultural development in the nineteenth century.

The property, maintained by the Chipping Norton Lakes Authority, contains preserved structures that demonstrate nineteenth-century building techniques and materials.

Following World War I, the government divided the estate into smaller parcels, distributing them to returning soldiers as part of a settlement program.
