The finest colonial mansion in the Riverina and South West New South Wales, Monte Cristo was built in 1884, and is faithfully restored and furnished in the high Victorian era circa 1840 to 1900.
Unfortunately, the custodian, Olive Ryan, has sadly passed away at the respectable age of 93.
There are a lot of stories about the Monte Cristo Homestead, with plenty of personal accounts, including some from the Ryans. For an overview of the types of ghosts that supposedly inhabit the homestead, visit https://thelittlehouseofhorrors.com/monte-cristo-homestead.
The homestead features a wonderful collection of antiques, an extensive carriage collection, as well as a wheelwright’s shop which manufactures all kinds of carriage wheels.
The renowned haunted mansion commands panoramic views of the whole area.
