What's around 720 Vale Road

RAINHAM - HISTORIC HOME, EXPANSIVE GROUNDS

Offered to the public for only the second time since 1832, "Rainham" is one of Australia's most historically significant homesteads. Built by Captain Thomas Raine, this Georgian residence has stood the test of time for nearly two centuries. By 1832, Raine had established himself on the fertile soils of Bathurst, constructing Rainham as both a family home and a centre of colonial life. Over the decades, the estate became an inn for gold rush travellers, a hub for entrepreneur William Tremain of Tremain's Mill fame, and even linked directly to the railway line in the mid-1800s. Rainham remains a rare example of a colonial homestead that continues to combine heritage, productivity, and lifestyle. Set on 31 hectares just 5 minutes from the Bathurst CBD, the property offers a unique opportunity to secure a residence that blends rich history, timeless architecture, and rural appeal. Features include but are not limited to: • Four spacious upstairs bedrooms plus two potential additional bedrooms in the convict wings • Multiple reception rooms including a formal living room, dining room, and sunroom • Family kitchen with adjoining laundry • Main bedroom complete with walk-in robe (WIR) • Walk-in pantry (WIP) downstairs providing excellent additional storage • Wide verandahs, hand-crafted timber joinery, and original convict-built wings • Stables with cobblestone floors and swinging doors • One central bathroom • 31 hectares (76 acres) of fertile grazing land suitable for cattle or lucerne • Six wells, two bores, and multiple water tanks • Thriving irrigated vegetable gardens, glasshouse, and shade house • 20 solar panels (6kw system) providing sustainable energy • Irrigated gardens and expansive grounds surrounding the homestead • Prime location only minutes from Bathurst CBD Rainham is more than a residence - it is a landmark woven into the fabric of Bathurst and Australia's history. To own this property is to become custodian of a unique legacy, where past and present meet in timeless elegance.
