This stunningly picturesque property comprising 177 acres of rolling hills is located on the site of the historic 1840s mining village of Staughton. First settled by Cornish miners who worked the Kanmantoo copper goldmine, the settlement was home to approximately 150 people at its height. The remains of approximately 30 structures are dotted along the Dawesley Creek which winds its way through the property but the surprise is in the 3 original structures still standing – 2 cottages and shearing shed. One of the cottages is complete and in a condition where a little elbow grease would achieve a stunning result.

Complementing its historic and natural surrounds stands an architecturally designed, environmentally friendly home built in 2001. Comprising 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (ensuite to main), lounge/dining featuring an open fireplace with African slate surround, bright country style kitchen and family room. The home is elevated and has stunning views across valley, taking full advantage of the surrounding landscape. Polished timber and concrete floors, high ceilings and exposed timber beams are captivating features of the home.

The property is self-sufficient with regard to energy and water, generating its own power 240v (solar and wind) and has a 32,000 gallon rain water storage capacity. Suitable for stock (approx. 250 head sheep or 30 head cattle). This property also has established stock yards, and a timber lot of sugar gums planted in 2000.

With carefully landscaped gardens focusing on native plantations, “Staughton” successfully blends historical significance with the environmentally friendly living of tomorrow.
