A substantial five-bedroom homestead had been built along with outbuildings including a kitchen, stables, store, dairy and meat house.
A new iron shearing shed along with a Farrer wool press, holding yards for 10,000 sheep and accommodation for 25 shearers were also included.
[7] Heavy rain during two months in 1918 (the property recorded 7.58 inches (193 mm)) caused the Minilya River to flood, isolating the homestead.
The property encompassed an area of 700,000 acres (283,280 ha) in 1933 and had 60 miles (97 km) of reticulation pipe laid down and was supporting a flock of 54,000 sheep.
[13] In 2010 Minilya was owned by WR Carpenter Agriculture Pty Ltd, Ric Stowe's cattle business, and occupied an area of 275,000 hectares (679,540 acres).
