50 Acres | Three Residences | Historic St Albans Village
Some properties offer a beautiful place to live. Others offer an opportunity to become part of something truly extraordinary.
Held by the same family for almost two centuries, Price Morris Estate is a remarkable piece of Australian colonial history, offering approximately 50 acres of predominantly arable countryside, three separate residences and an exceptional position within historic St Albans Village.
At the heart of the estate stands Price Morris Cottage, a rare surviving example of early colonial architecture, built around 1835–1837 by Welsh settler Price Morris and his wife Mary. Passed down through generations and recently lovingly restored, the State Heritage-listed cottage retains its original character and distinctive features, including traditional timber construction, exposed beams, sandstone fireplace and wide verandahs overlooking the beautiful rural landscape. In recent years, the cottage shared its story as a sought-after heritage short-stay accommodation experience.
Complementing the historic cottage are two additional residences. A neat and comfortable two-bedroom former workers' cottage enjoys lovely rural outlooks, while a separate three-bedroom family home offers generous living spaces and exciting scope for renovation and modernisation.
The land itself is equally impressive. Expansive, mostly usable grazing country unfolds beneath dramatic sandstone escarpments, with fenced paddocks, established stables, machinery sheds and a picturesque large dam. A separate portion of the holding also enjoys frontage to the Macdonald River, adding another wonderful dimension to this already exceptional property.
Beyond its undeniable lifestyle appeal, Price Morris Estate presents a wealth of possibilities. From multigenerational living and primary production to boutique farm stays, heritage tourism or a potential wedding and events destination, the opportunities to create something special are compelling, subject to relevant approvals.
