[1/1] YALLAMBIE

Statement of Significance

Yallambie is of local architectural and historical significance. Constructed in the 1870s, the house is a rare surviving 19th century building in the suburb dating from period of rural settlement. The property, which was established in the 1840s, continued to function as a farm until the 1950s, and retains a number of outbuildings. The Italianate style house, although altered, is notable for its large scale, contrasting with the more recent suburban development in the area. The house is enhanced by its setting on a relatively large site overlooking the Plenty River reserve.

The garden is notable for the fine, mature trees scattered throughout the site. They reflect the grandeur of the early estate, are prominent within the local neighbourhood, and are early examples of these trees within the municipality.
