This beautiful property now sits on just under 4 acres surrounded by aged gardens in a rural setting & just 5 minutes off the Hume Highway which forms part of the M5 Motorway to the CBD Sydney via the Eastern Distributor (Approx timing 1.2 to 1.5hrs).

The original building with tennis court was used for some time in the early part of the 20th Century as the local meeting place for residents of Canyonleigh & Sutton Forrest. As the area developed over many decades the road systems improved, steam trains ran more readily due to the government at the time purchasing "Hillview" as the Governor's Rural retreat located close by at Sutton Forrest. Many Sydney residents during this period brought up large parcels of land for farming purposes, some becoming permanent residents & the more wealthy making the locality (being close to Sydney) their own Country retreat, "gentleman farmers", as they where known. "Oldbadah Farm", originally known as "Cobadah" was purchased in the 1950's by the Wainberg Family, (Bond Industries Fame) as a retreat. It encompassed an area of land of just under 2000 acres & was used for primary production, Cattle & Sheep. The family in more recent times on-sold the original farm house (now "Oldbadah Farm") & the manager's cottage, retaining most of the surrounding land & increased their land holding to some 4000 acres. They currently run cattle and have established a large area as vineyards. "Oldbadah Farm" sits amidst the beautiful rural landscape.

Over time Oldbadah Farm's facilities have been upgraded yet much charm & character of an old country cottage still very much remains.
