Set across 24.75 hectares (approximately 61 acres) of beautiful native bushland, this extraordinary lifestyle property combines privacy, versatility and a fascinating local history. Offering established infrastructure for animal lovers, hobby farmers or those seeking a unique country escape, this is a property that truly stands apart.
Originally known as the Eremia Camel Farm, the property has welcomed visitors from across the world and has also operated as a dog and cat boarding facility. Today, it presents a rare opportunity to continue its legacy or create something entirely your own.
Adding another layer to its story, the property is recognised within the Shire of Ravensthorpe Local Heritage Survey as the historic Ravensthorpe Police Horse Paddock, reflecting its place in the district's early history. While this recognition acknowledges the site's cultural significance, it does not in itself constitute statutory heritage listing.
The charming residence, built in 1983, offers four bedrooms plus a dedicated office and is filled with handcrafted details that reflect its creative spirit. Decorative pressed-metal ceilings, colourful stained-glass features and bespoke finishes combine to create a warm and memorable home unlike any other.
Outside, the property has been thoughtfully developed for animals and rural living. Approximately 15 established kennels remain in place, along with multiple secure holding yards suitable for a range of animals. The current owner comfortably accommodates horses, a donkey, a pig and other livestock, while the former camel paddock is a reminder of the property's unique past.
A substantial powered shed with its own shower and toilet provides excellent workshop, storage or business space, while mains power and scheme water ensure everyday convenience.
Surrounded by pristine native bushland alive with birdlife and wildlife, this remarkable property offers complete privacy while remaining within easy reach of Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun.
Whether your vision includes a lifestyle retreat, animal-based enterprise, tourism venture (subject to approvals), or simply a peaceful place to call home, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities.

The townsite of Ravensthorpe is located in the south coastal region, 541 kilometres east southeast of Perth and 50 kilometres north northwest of the coastal town of Hopetoun. The Ravensthorpe region was first settled by the Dunn brothers in the 1860's, and it was James Dunn who first found gold in the area in 1899. Gold mining in the area was not very productive until a new find in 1900 resulted in rapid growth.
Ravensthorpe was gazetted a townsite in January 1901, the name having been suggested by surveyor A.W. Canning after the nearby Ravensthorpe Range. The Ravensthorpe Range was named by Surveyor General J.S. Roe in 1848 in honour of Bishop Augustus Short who, prior to becoming Bishop of WA & SA in 1847, had been the Vicar of Ravensthorpe in Northamptonshire (England) from June 1835. Bishop Short is also commemorated by Mt Short, a hill in the Ravensthorpe Range.
