Franklyn Vale Homestead, Heritage homestead in Grandchester, Australia.
Franklyn Vale Homestead features single-story weatherboard construction with wide verandahs, hipped roofs, and formal gardens surrounding the main residence.
The property began as a 60,000-hectare sheep station in 1843 before transitioning to the Mort family in 1849, who developed it into a significant agricultural establishment.
The residence maintains original architectural elements including painted horizontal timber boards, stained timber fanlights, and multiple fireplaces reflecting Queensland building traditions.
The homestead includes several auxiliary buildings such as a weatherboard meathouse, summerhouse, shed, and school room constructed during different development phases.
Two parallel lines of mature bunya trees frame the property grounds, which also contain a tennis court and extensive gardens maintained since the 1900s.
