The imposing Grubben homestead is situated on Grubben Hill, with superb views across Yerong Creek and the rolling hills of the Eastern Riverina. Set on 185.91 hectares (459.39 acres) suitable for cropping and grazing - an opportunity for rural lifestyle with income. The homestead is in need of restoration; an opportunity for someone to restore this historic homestead to its former glory - one of the rare station buildings in this region to be offered for sale in recent times.
Deep verandahs encompass the homestead with imposing stone steps to the ornate front door. Stepping into the entrance hall of the large homestead is like walking into a museum, full of period features from a bygone era: leadlight windows and fan lights, French doors, 12' ceilings with pressed tin and Murray Pine lining, Murray Pine floors plus more. The original bi-fold doors between the dining and lounge rooms were opened for entertaining and dances in the early days of the Yerong district.
The homestead was moved to the current location circa. 1886 by bullock teams and jinkers only a few years after it was built on Mittagong Station.
The first recorded information on Grubben Station dates back to 1845 when a Patrick Supple had a depasturing licence for Grubben Plains. In 1848 Supple claimed a lease on crown land being the Grubben Run; the property was around 70,000 acres in size at this point in time. Numerous licensees on the Grubben Run are noted; by 1870 Richard Cox was the owner and the spelling had changed to Grubbin (now reverted to Grubben). The current homestead was built on Mittagong Station in the mid 1870's; by the early 1880's the homestead was bought by the Cox family and moved to Grubbin where it still stands today. The procession had to cross the Yerong Creek via a heritage listed, stone built Chinese Crossing; which is still in use on Noske's Road today. John Cox died at the age of 24 in 1908 and the property was sold; by July 1909, the remaining 10,700 freehold acres was advertised for sale by public auction and quoted "Grubben has in fact been comprised the very pick of the land between Albury and Wagga Wagga". Stories of bushrangers, murders and more abound from the early days around 'Grubben Station' and the Yerong Creek district - this historical information is sourced from the Yerong Creek News Early Edition - A Community Book by Greg Finlayson.
