Farming
After Deas Larsen married, he leased a farm on Katamatite Road, three miles north east of Congupna Road. In 1921, he bought 'Fairfield' from his father's estate, then in 1923, he bought the adjoining original selection from the Riedell estate.

The best of the two houses was used to make a more modern home.4
