"Mildura", is one of the oldest homes in the regional New South Wales, having been built in the late 1820's by a wealthy emancipated convict, named Samuel Terry. The homestead was originally attached to a large pastoral holding purchased by Terry as part of his vast real estate empire. "Mildura" now sits on approximately 16 acres of manicured gardens, with a long sweeping driveway framed by ornamental pear trees and a terraced garden leading to the front entrance, creating an attractive and peaceful environment for those who love privacy.
