During this time they have not only run a cattle operation and significantly improved the pastures, but also established a native hardwood timber plantation.
The charming and original, 4-bedroom homestead is built out of Rosewood planks, all hand dressed, by Rae Duff in 1930. At one time the residence was also utilised as a schoolhouse accommodating 13 local children. It enjoys a northerly aspect and is set in an elevated position with wraparound verandas to take in the tranquil views over the property.
A stone wall cradles the house and its established gardens on three sides and makes a great impression on arrival.
