Position on map:

The former Schmidt family farmhouse and outbuildings, constructed in the late 1880s – c1910, are historically important in demonstrating the farming history of the Gold Coast hinterland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The former Schmidt farmhouse is a rare surviving example of a timber farmhouse on the Gold Coast. The house, barn, creamery and other surviving outbuildings demonstrate the principal characteristics of a late 19th/early 20th century dairy farm layout. The farmhouse core survives as rare illustration of the form, construction and materials employed in a small, timber rural dwelling in the Gold Coast hinterland. The place has a special association with the Schmidt-Kurth family.
