Oak Hill (once, Park Hill) was bought and run as pastoral lease of 415 acres by William Dunn in 1890. The Italianate styled villa (the homestead) was built in 1892. 

The property was passed down through three generations before being subdivided.

Privately held, it wasn't till 1999 that the Mornington Peninsula Shire purchased the homestead, rejuvenating the overgrown property and leasing it out The Mornington Peninsula Community Trading Co-operative (who later reformed into Oak Hill Community Arts Co-Operative)
