Just 45 minutes from Canberra city and 3 hours south of Sydney off the Hume Highway at Yass, lays the beautiful Manor House of ‘Old Linton’, built in 1857 by an emancipated convict, and later home to the legendary sheep baron A. B. Triggs.

Words do not do justice to this magnificent home which is set on 5 acres of land in the centre of the historic township of Yass.

Linton was built in the Federation Free style, while the garden is a transition between Federation and Edwardian Arts and Crafts style. The home features Art Deco bathrooms, Art Nouveau window details, marble fireplaces, crystal chandeliers and glass skylights. Both the house and garden are listed on the Register of the National Estate.

Offering 1100m2 of living to the main home which encompasses 46 rooms, including a ballroom that can seat 100 people, a dining room which accommodates 50, plus 13 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. There is also a three bedroom self contained cottage, plus stables with a loft, a glasshouse and machinery shed.

This home is situated in the middle of the cold climate wine area of Murrumbateman which produces award winning wines.

(A full history of the house entitled ‘Only behind a Cloud’ is available as an e-book on smashwords.com.)
