The historic Kendall Dale homestead is on 254 acres at Yatte Yattah, about four kilometres south of Milton.
The property has been in the family since the 1820s and has been listed for sale with Raine and Horne Nowra for a minimum bid of $4.9 million.
Missionary and cedar cutter Thomas Kendall returned to NSW from stints in New Zealand and Chile. The Englishman was granted 1280 acres of land in 1827, north of the current township of Milton.
"There he ran cattle and felled timber utilising ticket-of-leave men for labour. Kendall travelled often from Ulladulla to Sydney but was drowned when his small boat, the Brisbane, was wrecked off Jervis Bay [in 1832]," the Sydney Morning Herald reported in 2008.
The centrepiece of the seven-bedroom, four-bathroom property is its Victorian rendered homestead, circa 1848 to 1865, set in "park-like gardens" on the expansive rural block at 379a Princes Highway.
It is currently a workable and productive beef cattle property and also includes a three by five acre lot subdivision on the southern end of property.
