"For the first time in 165 years, the historic Hunter Valley homestead property Bickham has been sold.
The property at Blandford, near Scone, was offered for sale by the Malone family, with the drawcard for the property a grand homestead that was progressively built during the mid-1800s and completed in 1875.
Elements of yesteryear also include a slaughterhouse, a blacksmith, old cattle stalls, dairy and stone cemetery.
...
It has been in the ownership of the Wright family since 1856 when it was purchased by Phillip Wright."

There are various historical rural homesteads in Australia, but rarely have I seen one that is 1) wooden 2) well preserved 3) owned by one family for so long.

What a fantastic piece of history. Such a classic building of the era. It's obviously been well loved and preserved.

I am intensely jealous of whoever gets to own such a lovely building.
