[4] Mount Hesse Station, a historic homestead listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and classified by the National Trust of Australia, is located within Ombersley.

A succession of still surviving outbuildings followed thereafter, including a store (1843), shepherd's hut (1849), stables (1849, extended in 1873), woolshed (1852) and gate lodge (1873).

The property has historical associations with a number of prominent 19th century pastoralists and businessmen, and the stables and woolshed are amongst the oldest surviving examples of their kind in the state.

It was built in 1876 after the original Mount Hesse estate was divided into three properties, and is also classified by the National Trust of Australia.

[5][7] The locality includes Mount Gellibrand, an extinct scoria volcano and the future site of a wind farm.
