Ohio Homestead, Heritage homestead in Walcha, Australia
Ohio Homestead features a traditional pastoral design with dormer windows and multiple residential sections constructed during different periods throughout the 1800s.
First established in 1836 by John Herring Boughton, the homestead started with three slab huts and expanded to accommodate a workforce of fourteen men by 1842.
The property name draws inspiration from British military outposts in the Ohio Valley of North America, reflecting colonial connections of early Australian settlements.
The estate grew from an initial five acres to encompass 30,000 acres by the 1870s, supporting thousands of sheep and hundreds of cattle.
Abraham Nivison purchased the property based on a handshake agreement when he told Boughton he lacked the £500 payment but received trust for his honest face.
