Macquarie Field House, Heritage mansion in Macquarie Fields, Australia

The Regency-style Macquarie Field House features stone walls, colonial architecture, and stands on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding countryside of New South Wales.

James Meehan, who arrived in Sydney as a convict in 1800, constructed the first buildings on the property in 1810 before expanding his land grant to 1,113 hectares.

The mansion transformed into a private school in 1821 under Reverend Thomas Reddall, where Governor Macquarie's son received his education among other students.

The property maintains approximately 28 hectares of its original estate and requires visitors to obtain permission for access as it remains under private ownership.

The estate contains archaeological remnants of Meehan's Castle, the original 1810 structure that served as a strategic observation point across the New South Wales landscape.
