VICTORIAN GRANDEUR REVISITED
"Chatsworth House" near Mortlake was once the principal station property of the district of some 40,000 ha. The property was settled by a Scotsman, Mr John Moffatt in the early 1850s. In 1858 Moffatt commissioned a noted architect, James A. Fox to design the homestead. The extensive garden was laid out by Edward Latrobe Batman who designed some of the major Gardens in Melbourne.

The pastoral significance of the property is such that the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Alfred, was a guest of the property in 1863. The ceremonial tree planted in the garden is still there. The historic homestead and buildings have been carefully restored and recent development of pastures, fencing and water make Chatsworth House one of the districts premier properties.
