Centrally located on the station is the iconic "Kappawanta" stone wool shed built in 1867 (originally a 10 blade shearing board) and now converted to a 5 stand overhead machine gear shearing board run by a 6hp Lister diesel engine. The wool shed has been re-wired for 240volt and can be run with a generator. Shed capacity is 450-500 sheep and the predominately stone sheep yards are in good condition and will hold up to 2,000 sheep. "Kappawanta" is renowned for producing high yielding clean wool.
North of the stone woolshed approx. 400m is the large 7 bedroom stone homestead in good condition. Recently re-roofed with corrugated iron and most of the outside veranda and stone work has been rendered to preserve the homesteads history. The homestead has been rewired for 240volt and is now powered by its own Lister diesel generator which is housed in its own nearby shed.
The property is serviced by underground water with 12 windmills on bores throughout the station; very good quality water is available at 5-7m on most bores. There are trap yards strategically located for mustering with numerous historical out buildings, shepherd hut, blacksmith shop, stables and horse yards across the property.
