Wolston Farmhouse

Step back in time at Wolston Farmhouse, the oldest surviving residential farmhouse in Brisbane, nestled just a short drive to the southwest of Brisbane’s bustling CBD.

This historic landmark, formerly known as Wolston House, boasts a rich rural history dating all the way back to 1852. It holds the distinction of being the very first property entrusted to the care of the National Trust of Australia (Queensland).

This charming farmhouse exudes the authentic atmosphere of a traditional rural homestead and is surrounded by breathtaking views that stretch out towards the tree-lined riverbanks.

Listed as a heritage site, the homestead features expansive verandas that overlook the lush green property and gardens. The Farmhouse transports you to a nineteenth-century rural lifestyle with its collection of period artifacts, including sausage stuffers in the kitchen, silverware in the dining room, a pianola in the parlour, and horsehair mattresses in the bedrooms. Below ground, you’ll find the cellars including a larder, a creamery and a meat room.
