The estate's rich history dates back to between 1840 and 1860 when the Curry family, originally from Ireland, settled in the area. John Curry established a lease, harvested timber, and created a small farming enterprise on what was then known as Curry’s Hill. This early agricultural effort laid the foundation for the estate's enduring legacy.
In the subsequent years, the property became part of the Alne Bank farm, managed by the Hindmarsh family until 2000. This period saw the expansion and diversification of the estate's agricultural activities, setting the stage for its modern incarnation.
