Yester Grange is an historic house and estate situated in the village of Wentworth Falls, in the Blue Mountains approximately 95 kilometres west of Sydney, Australia. It is not known exactly when the house was built, but the land came into the ownership of prominent Sydney importer and builder John Charles Smith in 1888 and the main residence was most likely constructed before 1891. The house is built of kauri wood from New Zealand and is surrounded by an estate measuring 8 hectares directly above the main waterfall at Wentworth Falls. The house offers stunning views over the Jamison Valley. In 1902 the estate was purchased by NSW Premier Sir John See. See expanded the house by adding a ballroom and hosted large formal gatherings at the property. After his death in 1907, Yester Grange was retained as a holiday house by his family until 1938, when it was abandoned. The Grange remained vacant until 1944 when it was taken over by local council alderman Margery Anderson and her husband James. James Anderson sold the Grange in 1975 following the death of his wife two years previously.
