Ormiston House Estate, Heritage-listed plantation in Redland City, Australia.

The single-story brick house features encircling verandahs, high ceilings, and large windows constructed in Flemish and English bond face brick patterns.

Captain Louis Hope established Ormiston House Estate between 1858 and 1865, creating Queensland's first sugar crushing mill and largest sugar plantation by 1865.

The estate displays nineteenth-century domestic arrangements through preserved kitchen facilities and living spaces that reflect early European settlement patterns.

Visitors can explore the estate at 277 Wellington Street through guided tours offered by the Ormiston House Restoration Association.

The property includes original terraced gardens leading to mangrove wetlands along Raby Bay, maintaining its historical landscape features.
