Aberglasslyn is a rapidly expanding suburb of Maitland, located in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales Australia.
Originally known as "The Country Estate", Aberglasslyn was surrounded by paddocks and bushland which have now been developed into numerous sub-divisions such as "The Sanctuary" and "Weblands Wonderland". Aberglasslyn provides views of the hills of Maitlandvale and Rosebrook, situated near the Hunter River. It still retains some bushland which has been listed as a nature reserve.
Aberglasslyn House , a private residence, looks over a bend in the Hunter River and is built completely out of sandstone. Aberglasslyn House is one of the most important early Colonial homes in Australia. With its vast cellars, this early stone mansion has the potential to become the only "chateau style" boutique vineyard in the Hunter and was built by John Verge who was born in Christchurch, Dorset, England.
The name is said to be a combination of " Aberdeen " and " Glasgow ".
