Statement of Significance
The Lochton homestead is of Local architectural and historical significance as a rare and relatively intact example of the Colonial Georgian style of homestead design in the area and for its association with the first owner of the property, William Morrison Hunter, a Scot who came to the colony in the early 1840's.
Until recently possessed of a high degree of integrity, the homestead- while simple in form - is architecturally quite sophisticated in its scale and detailing. It is made typical for the area by its bluestone construction, the use of hand-made bricks for the internal walls and its intact, slate-lined roof.
Its elevated location considerably enhances the homestead and its immediate surroundings and the homestead formsa discernable element in the vista from neighbouring properties.
The existence of the ruins of the former Lochton flour mill, on the flats near the Deep Creek, adds to the interpretive value of the entire property.
