This historic home, has been the essence of many a pioneering family of the district, built circa 1861 by Philpot contractors for James Thompson.
The main house keeps the beauty of the original build with interior upgrades over the years. A large country kitchen was added in 1931 with a combustion heater and full-length mantle on the western wall. The front main room takes the modern role of master bedroom with a large walk-in wardrobe that has ensuite potential. There is another bedroom on the ground floor and a sweet little attic bedroom upstairs, there is also ample storage or renovation potential for the remaining attic space. The front room is a generous lounge with large fireplace and views over the established orchard. The bathroom was an addition in the 1960's adding to the generational growth of the property. There are two small rooms on either side of the veranda used in times gone by as 'strangers rooms' for passing workers and travellers.

The second residence on the property known as the cottage, was completed in 2019, it has the feel of a much longer established building to compliment the historical ambience of the property. The Cottage has cedar windows and is clad in corrugated iron. It boasts a large stained glass and timber front door bordered with miners lanterns to complete the heritage look. The inside of the Cottage, however, is equipped with modern luxuries such as underfloor heating in the bathroom, a dishwasher and instantaneous gas hot water. There are two good sized bedrooms and a large country kitchen to round out this lovely dwelling as rental income, a main residence or as a great family holiday location.

There is also a small Shearers hut situated between the two dwellings. The Hut has been lined with heritage look pine and has a unique hessian finish ceiling to expose the old 'bones' or rafters that show the historical character after the roof was re pitched. There is a vintage Fisher combustion heater, small kitchenette, composting toilet and clawfoot bath that would make this delightful space perfect for an artists studio, She Shed or quaint farm stay accommodation.

The 52 acre creek frontage property is fully fenced with a functioning 2 stand shearing shed and timber yards. There are multiple smaller sheds over the property to allow for storage or tinkering, there is also ample room for larger shed construction.

There is approx. 200,000 litres of roof captured water storage over the property.
