'Springfield' is one of North Wagga Wagga's most significant heritage estates, offering a rare blend of mid-Victorian grandeur and functional rural living. George William Commins purchased the property in 1869, the original English bond brick homestead was built circa 1870's by the prominent regional surveyor. The Commins family held the property for 75 years, breeding prize-winning livestock and gardens so influential that George named several local streets after his wife and children. Today, the estate still carries this rich legacy, accompanied by a rare collection of original 19th-century land documents and household records.
The residence itself radiates timeless elegance, featuring 11-foot ceilings, traditional architraves, and soaring skirting boards. The spacious floorplan includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a formal dining room, and two separate lounge areas. New carpet flows through the entry, while four fireplaces-including ornamental bedroom grates, a slow-combustion heater, and a gas log burner-provide seasonal warmth and character. A large, functional kitchen with a walk-in pantry serves as the home's hub, while classic verandahs wrap the front and rear of the home, overlooking manicured lawns and beautiful gardens.
Spanning 10 hectares (approx. 25 acres), the property is expertly divided into 7 paddocks with a reliable town water connection.
