The original land grant for the property on which Munni House sits was made to John Mann on 13th October 1829.Mann named his 1920-acre selection Munni, and by late 1829 had reported a number of improvements he had made to the property, including the construction of a slab hut, the location of which is still uncertain. In 1835 the ownership of John Mann s land passed to his brother, Samuel Furneaux Mann, possibly due to the former brothers bankruptcy. As a result of a period of economic hardship experienced across the colony, arising largely from drought conditions, the brothers are believed to have lived on the property together until the early 1840s. According to the Lands Titles Office records, the property was then sold to John Hughes in 1841, and in 1843 Hughes sold it on to Joseph Myatt. Munni then passed to Edward Newtown, before Newtown sold the land to William Alexander Smith in 1873. Another record however, indicates that a gentleman by the name of Edwin Smith, who had settled nearby up the Sheep Station Creek after quitting his parents property, Bandon Grove, bought the adjoining land on which Munni House is situated sometime after 1868
