He bought a block at Kanmantoo, on which he planted a vineyard and started making wine, his "St. George claret" having a good reputation. He purchased a large run on the Blyth Plains, part of which he subdivided and leased to farmers, the balance being stocked with sheep, or sown with wheat. He leased land north of Port Augusta which he stocked with beef cattle. He established Mount Templeton Station, owned Macumba Station and large tracts of land at The Hummocks, Andamooka, Port Broughton, and Port Pirie.〔Gunton, Eric ''Gracious Homes of Colonial Adelaide'' Published by the author, Adelaide 1983 ISBN 0 959 2094 0 9〕 A notable employee at "Swanscombe" and the Kanmantoo Estate was the Ngarrindjeri man David Unaipon (1872–1967).〔(Kanmantoo Homestead and Winery Complex (Place no: 22796) pub.SA Heritage Council )〕
