Gabbinbar homestead, Heritage villa in Middle Ridge, Toowoomba, Australia.
The timber residence features French doors opening onto wide verandahs, with a central entrance vestibule surrounded by spacious rooms and gardens.
Reverend William Lambie Nelson commissioned architect Willoughby Powell to design this substantial villa in 1876, which later served as a summer residence for Queensland governors.
The property reflects the success of early Queensland pastoralists through its formal layout, fine joinery, marble mantelpieces, and leadlight windows.
Located at 344-376 Ramsay Street, the homestead functions as a wedding venue with modern amenities while maintaining its historical architecture.
The grounds include a gatehouse, tree-lined entrance drive, mature trees, bowling green, croquet lawn, and tennis court from different construction periods.
