Welcome to Conjura Homestead.
The legacy and grandeur of the highly sought-after home are deeply woven into Wagga Wagga’s history.
Located at 109 Fox Street, the home is the perfect blend of prestige, elegance and comfort.
Fitzpatricks director and sales consultant Paul Gooden highlighted the property’s comfortable dimensions and rich history.
“The home is grand yet incredibly liveable. The rooms are spacious but not excessive — every area serves a purpose and feels inviting,” Paul said.
“It is an old home with all the modern comforts. It has excellent heating and cooling, a high-end kitchen, and beautifully renovated bathrooms, all designed to honour its original style. The balance between history and modern convenience makes it a standout property.
“I also love the history of this home. It holds significant historical importance to Wagga and continues to draw considerable attention.”
Built in 1910, the home is immensely desirable for its prime position, situated opposite Collins Park, offering easy access to the city’s CBD.
“Interest in this property is immense, with enquiries coming in daily,” Paul said.
“It’s a home, not a museum. The future owner will be investing between $2.8 and $3 million.
“They’re likely to be a professional couple, businesspeople, or someone with a large or extended family who can fully utilise the space and features of the home. The current owners had a large family, but now that their children have grown up, they no longer need as much space.”
Paul noted that the current owners have been respectful of the home’s past, ensuring renovations preserved its character.
“Walking in, you immediately appreciate its visual appeal. Even now, when I stand in the grand hallway and look down, I’m in awe of the space,” he said.
“I’m one of 10 children, and growing up in a big home, I understand the comfort and luxury of space.”
The home boasts expansive gallery-style hallways, soaring four-metre-high ceilings, grand formal living and dining rooms, a stunning kitchen, and a family room overlooking a private modern swimming pool.
“The kitchen has been completely refurbished, and the expense is extraordinary,” Paul said. “While not ultra-modern, it is exceptionally well-appointed, featuring built-in fridges, a top-quality oven, and a wine cellar.
“The renovation has been incredibly sympathetic to the home’s original style, using granite, marble, and a two-pack finish in colours that complement its historic charm.
“Thoughtful design choices — like air conditioning vents discreetly placed in the kickboards instead of the ceiling — preserve the home’s architectural integrity.
“Rather than imposing a modern kitchen, the owners have carefully designed it to blend seamlessly with the home’s history.”
Paul described the proportions of the lounge and dining rooms as unmatched in Wagga, creating a space that is both grand and inviting.
“The furniture, including large sideboards, a grand dining table, and elegant chandeliers, complements the home beautifully,” he said.
“The entire house features hydronic heating, an expensive yet highly efficient system that keeps it exceptionally warm and dry in winter — you truly feel the difference on a cold July morning.
“The hallways are like galleries, so expansive that they create a breathtaking sense of space. Stunning arched features have been seamlessly integrated, including a newly added archway between the kitchen and family area, which won a prestigious Housing Industry Association (HIA) award for excellence in plaster restoration.”
The home features five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a billiard room, and a dedicated office with external access.
Paul described the pool area as stylish and modern, with a spacious, unobstructed design that allows for ample sunlight throughout the day. The Mediterranean-inspired setting, combined with its northeast orientation, ensures warmth from morning to evening.
Adjacent to the pool is a secure storage area and a small gym facility, adding to the home’s convenience and functionality.
The sleek glass fencing is both modern and unobtrusive, maintaining clear sightlines from the kitchen and family areas — a great feature for parents keeping an eye on children while also enhancing the view.
Set on half an acre, the home offers stunning outlooks from every window, whether it’s the lush gardens, the shimmering pool, or the classic veranda — a perfect blend of elegance and tranquillity.
Features that may not be immediately visible but complete the home’s luxurious appeal include an extensive wine cellar, extraordinarily elegant Swarovski chandeliers, a back-to-base security system, a subterranean meat safe or secure storage, an additional workshop and handyman space with vehicle access, and secure parking for four vehicles.
Conjura Homestead was originally built as a town residence for Alex Smith of Kyeamba Station, a notable district figure who dedicated much of his time to the Show Society — hence the naming of Kyeamba Smith Hall. The property served as the Home of Compassion from 1952 to 1974 before returning to private ownership.
