Statement of Significance

This site, with buildings located on two properties has high local significance as an historic site that was part of district squatter James Robertson's large Watwillroon cattle run, once covering much of the present day Narre Warren North. The older house, although altered and rebuilt, may still contain elements of Robertson's pre-1862 four-roomed home. The home built at the top of the hill, now subdivided onto a separate title, requires investigation, but is believed to be historically and architecturally significant also. Located on a hill containing a rocky outcrop and established cypress plantings, the former St. Leonards is an important feature in the historic landscape .
