Statement of Significance
The McCutcheon farm is of significance to the Cardinia Shire as an adeptly styled and substantial concrete block house and outbuildings set at the end of a long conifer drive and adjacent to some mature planting such as the palm. It is sited in a closer settlement part of the district formed by draining swamp lands for farming. Anthony McCutcheon, farmer, has the longest association with the site and was there from 1918. The farm complex has historical significance as a property established on a Swamp Land Leasehold in the post-First World War period.
