The estate has a rich history. Once a bustling family homestead overlooking over 350 acres of dairy farm, built by local business man Jim ‘Pretty Boy’ Noble, it has seen generations pass through its halls, each leaving behind a legacy of stories and memories. 

In recent years, it has undergone a thoughtful restoration, maintaining its heritage charm while evolving into a luxurious estate, often sought out by celebrities and high-profile figures for private events and retreats, and a variety of filming and location shoots has happened at the property over the years, most recently it has appeared in the 2024 series of Married at First Sight and will also appear in 2025.

“Coming from a background of selling old world homes in Sydney I am thrilled to be able to present this home as it is so unique in the area,” Kim Jones told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Hinterland House would be one of the oldest homes in the region, originally dating from 1902,” she explained.  

With no local stone quarries, Hinterland House took four years to build because each brick had to be hand moulded and kiln fired. Timber was milled on the property. As it is the only example of this type of construction method in the area, Hinterland House is heritage listed.

“That brick mould is still on the property!” Kim told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Most of the houses in the area are new, I haven’t seen anything like this, with high ceilings, original timber parquetry floors, stained glass windows and historic details. Its position on top of the hill gives the home incredible 360 degree views, so you are able to enjoy both sunrise and sunset.”

“This home is one in a million, the most elegant and decadent home in the region with a beautiful mature rose garden and huge heated pool. It has an event license for 150 guests and there’s also a DA in place for a second dwelling.”
