Built in 1890 by George Harcourt, a prominent member of early Ginninderra community, the homestead is a solid imposing structure in keeping with Harcourt's position. He served as storekeeper and Post Master from 1862-1882, and has given his name to both the hill behind the house and to the George Harcourt Inn.The homestead, to the south-eastern end of Ginninderra Village, is surrounded by conifers but its extensive grounds now form part of a golf-course. Because Deasland is private property, it is best viewed from Ginninderra Blacksmith's Workshop.
