The Coondle Estate was the first land in the state to be resumed for the purchase and subdivision of old grants. it had a long history of absentee ownership with the original grantee, George Leake, never living there and subsequent lessees occupying the property. It was subdivided in 1989 into 71 blocks. George Throssell, the Minister for Lands, proposed that the hills be used for running cattle and the cleared river flats used for vineyards, orchards and vegetables, using the pools along the Toodyay Brook for irrigation. All the land was taken up within two years.
The cottage was believed to have been built by Morgan Ford who constructed a number of the cottages in the district as a contract builder.
