After nearly three years on the market, Alloway Bank, the historic Bathurst estate of Captain John Piper has finally sold.
Alloway Bank, the historic NSW Bathurst district estate of the colonial customs collector, Captain John Piper, has been sold.

It was sold by Century 21 Bathurst agent Tom Clyburn, who took on the listing earlier this year.
The buyers are a family from Bondi Junction whose forebears, George and William Suttor, were the second owners of the Eglinton residence.
The house, rebuilt in the 1870s with Flemish bond brickwork, sits on 11ha.
Its European settlement dates back to an 1827 land grant from Governor Thomas Brisbane to Piper who relocated to the farm after losing the Point Piper harbourfront, Henrietta Villa.
After the 1838 drought, the wool slump and 1840s depression, Piper was also forced to sell Alloway Bank to the pastoral Suttor family in 1845.
It last sold in 1995 for $580,000.
