Coragulac House

Coragulac House which you can see looking down from the eastern side of the Red Rock carpark was built in 1873 by George Robertson.  It is where he and his wife Annie (nee Murray from Wool Wool House) raised their 4 children.  With their some 4,000 acres the land was mostly leased to tenants, and was used for dairying.

This elegant 26 roomed bluestone and red brick homestead with its outstanding views to the south, was originally on 14 acres of garden, together with fish ponds, a polo ground, numerous glasshouses and an impressive orchard.  But sadly they have all disappeared over time.  Even the garden has shrunk to a manageable couple of acres.

On entering the homestead you are immersed in the majestic architecture of the Entrance Hall, with its 6 metre vaulted cedar paneled ceiling and original embossed wallpapers.  The oversized English oak mantelpiece incorporating a beaten copper insignia of duelling dragons authenticates the grandeur of this room. 

When Andrew Chirnside succeeded the Robertson's after George Robertson died in 1895, Andrew added the two distinctive cone shaped towers and had electric lights installed long before electricity came to the area.  The homestead now only sat on 500 acres.

Through time, the property has seen many owners, each putting their own special personal touch to the mansion.

In 2013 the current owners bought the property.  After a much needed renovation, the house and garden was opened up to the public on special open days, and bus tours.

Please note this is a private residence - and friends of the Co.  Absolutely no trespassing.  Just admire it from the lookout please
