[2] Home Valley covers a total area of 1,400,000 hectares (3,459,475 acres) and is bordered to the east by the Pentecost River from its neighbour El Questro Station.
The area had a poor reputation and, along with El Questro Station, was known as the underworld as a result of the large amount of theft of unbranded calves.
An upgrade was planned for the airstrip in 2005 when A$96,350 was allocated so that so it could be brought up to Royal Flying Doctor night landing standard as part of the Regional Airports Development Scheme implemented by the Gallop government.
[5] The station has been open for tourism since 2006 and offers a range of accommodation to visitors; following a major renovation in 2008 it was converted to a holiday resort.
Parts of the station were featured in the film Australia as the fictional property Faraway Downs, particularly through the cattle drive scene.
