One of Bundaberg's most well-known residential icons is now on the market. Sprawled over 25ha / 61.77 acres incorporating Tantitha Lagoon the meticulously restored Tantitha Homestead is a horse lovers dream. Tantitha House is one of the region's oldest surviving homes, built in 1879 and the original cattle run on which it was built stretched almost all the way to Mt Perry. Cousins James and Samuel Hassell obtained the lease for the enormous Tantitha run in 1861, which was later run by brothers Alfred and Arthur Brown of Gin Gin station, before being purchased by Henry Tyrer and James Henderson. It was during this period that the home was built by a carpenter named Bennett. The Moore brothers of Barambah station took over the property in 1882 and in 1912, 18 blocks of the run were subdivided. Isaac Moore also donated 7000 acres to the WW1 Returned Soldiers Distress Fund. Fairymead Sugar Company bought the remainder of the run in 1922. Horses and mules were once bred on the property and at one time it even had a school room, which eventually became part of the servant's quarters.
