Step back in time - Hawkesbury history

The Hawkesbury region was one of the first colonial settlements with landholders arriving in 1789. By 1794 the farming and agricultural aspect of the Hawkesbury was underway with settlers being allocated 30 acre lots in order to feed the colony. To this day the area is known as one of the richest food basins in NSW.

The town of Windsor is well known for it's historic buildings - The Macquarie Arms Hotel (1815), St Matthews Catholic Church (1840), Windsor Court House (1822) , St Matthews Anglican Church (1817) and Thompson Square are all monuments to the regions past. There are many original homes, many from the 1840's, which are lovingly lived in to this day.
The Hawkesbury Regional Gallery and Library, located in Windsor,  is a great source of information for those interested in the history of the region.

In the neighbouring towns of Pitt Town, Kurrajong, Richmond, Ebenezer, Wilberforce and Rouse Hill there are plenty of examples of historic homes and buildings to delight any enthusiast.

The Hawkesbury Historical Society is a treasure trove of information and regularly runs information nights and re-enactment days. Tel 02 723007 for more information.

Happy days at iRIS Property

It's been a busy day at iRIS Property. Plenty of enquiries, some fantastic new listings - watch out for upcoming newsletters to be the first to hear of these great homes on offer - and one of the most enjoyable parts of our job ... settlements !

We are heading out this afternoon to deliver keys and champagne to our excited purchasers. It's fantastic to have been able to help people secure a home, increase their wealth and security and to watch them start out on a new leg of their journey. We wish them all well and hope that they enjoy their new homes.

Another great aspect of today is knowing that our vendors, who have been caught up in the often challenging task of having a home on the market, can now bank their cheques and get moving on finding their next home, hopefully after having a well earned rest for a little while.

We thank you for trusting us to help you with these life changing transactions and look forward to working with you again soon.
