The Plashett property was first settled by James Robertson in 1827. His son Sir John Robertson became 5 times Prime Minister pre-Federation and was famous for the ‘Robertson Land Act.’ In 1865 the property was acquired by the Pearse family who constructed the homestead which today is listed on the Muswellbrook Shire Council LEP.
