The site is significant due to its association with the horticultural industry in the district and with pioneering families.
The vineyard was situated east of the homestead and extended to a NS line to approximately where the dam is situated on the Douglas Road.
The selector of the property, Harold (Henry) Douglas, was one of six sons of Joe and Bell Douglas who established their farms in the Lakes area. Harold Douglas later donated 10 acres of land near his home for the hall site which after a ballot was named Kenmare. Douglas was chairman of the Hall Committee from 1922 - 1932. He farmed 'Kenmare' until 1952 when he retired to Woodanilling. Ray Lines farmed the property for some years until sold to the current owners - the Cumming family from Wagin.
