The story of this truly exceptional property can be traced back to 1832, when Ralph Dodge became its official owner. The "Ferry Farm", as it was known for years, served as row-boat ferry service point for new settlers to get across to Seven Mile Beach. Mr. Dodge built a house in this incredibly beautiful location with his own hand-made bricks, which the industrious man made on site. This glorious cottage still stands today and has been beautifully restored and upgraded to create a most charming and comfortable home.

This magnificent property consists of the historical cottage, and a separate studio on 2895m2 of land. This astonishingly and spectacular block of prime real estate could be further subdivided if required (subject to council approval).
