The place is a fine representative example of a farm of its era. The pioneer associations are significant.
Red brick home with a corrugated iron roof.
TC Hodgeson took up 25000 acres on a pastoral lease, and later conditional purchase, and called the property "Whitehaven". Robert Barr took over part of the property from Charles Baxter who retained the homestead portion of the original Whitehaven property. In c1927 Barr built the existing homestead. An old stone dwelling on the property is used as a seed storage area. Together with Whitehaven, Nungunia was purchased by the Government after World War Two, and the property with the original dwelling was allocated to Francis J O'Hare in 1948, under the Soldier Settlement Scheme. The farm is currently farmed by his son Paul O'Hare.
