Trecarne Farm was initiated by Charles Henry Hoffman who was born in Bonn Germany in1863. In 1904 he purchased a 500 acre bush block from the family of his wife (Anne May Oliver) at 2/6 an acre. As Charles had been a greengrocer in Germany, the family started to grow vegetables while the land was being cleared. The market garden remained their chief livelihood, and son, Bill was well known in Narrogin for his fine quality fresh vegetables. The farm remained in the Hoffman family until the 1990’s.
The house is built in 1906 from mud bricks with bush timber poles in the roof. Many later additions and repairs followed and it was intact when listed in the Municipal Heritage Inventory in 1995.
