A RICH HISTORY
"Chelsea Park" was originally part of "Brindley Park"- a land grant to William Wentworth and John Blaxland as a reward for being the first to
cross the Blue Mountains in 1813..
The property has retained some of the earlier improvements including the original homestead (circa 1900), wool shed, shepherds/shearers quarters and sulky shed.
It is located on black basalt soils derived from the volcanic activity which created the Liverpool Ranges some 350,000,000 years ago and are renowned for their fertility and ability to grow quality pastures. The proximity of the property to the range also enhances the rainfall totals
with higher areas of "Chelsea Park" receiving upwards of 800mm p/a.
