The villa was erected was on 600 acres purchased from the Reverend Robert Cartwright. The stone for the impressive two-storey mansion was quarried on site and numerous service buildings and workers’ cottages were also built. The estate was extremely prosperous, with vineyards, livestock, orchards and a horse stud. From 1835 to 1840 a tweed mill was added. The area around and including the small rural village of Regentville was gazetted as a suburb in 1970.

John Black Carmichael (1811 - 1857)
Carmichael was a painter, etcher, art teacher and engraver. Despite being 'deaf and dumb', a distinguishing handicap often mentioned in relation to his work, Carmichael was nevertheless regarded as one of the most competent engravers in Sydney. He is also notable for having been one of the earliest free emigrant artists to pursue a lifelong professional career in New South Wales.
