Bona Vista is of high historical significance as a substantial Victorian farm group which survives with its slab outbuildings. It is highly evocative of the nineteenth century character of the higher lands around Pitt Town which were often used for orcharding.
The main homestead of Bona Vista is an important Victorian filigree residence. It is probably the most substantial homestead in the immediate Pitt Town area and is a well built residence featuring a broad ogee roofed verandah, fine slate roofing and sandstone walls.
The surviving corn shed is important for its unusual construction, unique in Australia to the Hawkesbury region.
