Atley Station operates as a pastoral lease dedicated to sheep and goat farming within Western Australia's Sandstone area, recognized for its enduring contribution to the local pastoral sector.
Positioned on the Paynes Find-Sandstone route, the station is situated approximately 110 kilometers eastward from Mount Magnet and around 150 kilometers westward of Leinster, in the Mid-West region.
Having been established before 1915, the initial leaseholder was W.N. Cock, who managed sheep on the property. By 1921, the lease transferred to Wirth and Williams, and then to Cumberland and Black in 1924. In 1927, sole control passed to R.S. Black & Son. Robert Silvers Black later acquired Roy Hill Station and upon his passing in 1934, his son Robin assumed management of Atley.
The Black family retained ownership until 1939 when the property was offered for sale. At that point, Atley covered an area of 261,882 acres, segmented into 20 paddocks secured for sheep and 11 holding paddocks. The stock included 2,500 sheep, along with 10 horses and 15 cattle. Facilities featured a homestead with nine rooms, a shearing shed, multiple outbuildings, and sixteen fully operational wells or bores. The land supported vegetation such as mulga, kurara, saltbush, bluebush, plus other plants appearing seasonally.
By 2004, the lease was under the possession of T.J. Hodshon.
