Minimbah House was built between 1875 and 1877 in the late Victorian era. This exquisite mansion was designed by Benjamin Backhouse for wealthy pastoralist Duncan Forbes Mackay on land issued in 1823 to John Cobb.
The mansion is so large that it takes up over an acre, and boasts some amazing inclusions, which have stood the test of time.
The staircase is made from Australian cedar and rosewood carved in Germany that leads to a landing characterised by columns and arches. It is magnificent with the detail in the carvings and is very ornate.
The stained glass windows are all in original condition and the tiles are from Italy, beautiful antique furniture pieces specifically designed for this home surround you throughout, and the massive marble baths and fireplaces are an absolute feature of the home.
A hidden treasure of the home is the princess tower, which is reminiscent of a children's fairytale, as it is literally a cupboard hidden under the stairs, you climb two flights of stairs and then take a stairwell ladder from there. The views are absolutely breathtaking from the tower.
