NESTLED amidst a tranquil and pristine native bushland setting, adjacent to a World Heritage listed national park ‘Yaraandoo’ is an award winning eco lodge and accommodation centre on the eastern edge of the Great Dividing Range and New England tablelands.

As featured on the ABC ‘Back Roads’ program, ‘Yaraandoo’, currently hosts fly fishing workshops, wellness retreats and tourist accommodation, with further scope and opportunity for the new owners to expand or diversify experiences available.

These could include being ideal for a B&B to further build on the inherent wilderness, conservation, nature and ecological tourism potential of the property and surrounding area.

Located on the picturesque Waterfall Way, ‘Yaraandoo’ is ideally located within an easy drive to seven national parks and three World Heritage areas.

The property itself comprises 60.25 hectares, or just under 150 acres, of native Australian bushland with a variety of ecosystems traversed by eight kilometres of graded tracks.

A real standout is 2.4 kilometres of frontage to the Serpentine River and Bullock Creek with permanently flowing, crystal clear spring fed water offering multiple swimming holes and access to some of the most highly regarded trout fishing waters internationally.

Situated in an area of such natural value and beauty, the facilities at ‘Yaraandoo’ have been designed to be environmentally sensitive and sustainable, being at one with the surrounding environment.

The property is able to be self-sufficient in terms of water, heat and power with environmental design features including locally sourced materials, rammed earth and mudbrick walls for thermal efficiency and solar passive design.

The building won the Australian Architectural Award for Construction and Design.

Guests are well catered for with nineteen rooms, a licensed restaurant, bar, and conference room, plus a self-contained unit and separate caretakers cottage.

The vendor is remaining in the local area, so able to assist with handover and is also willing to discuss renting back the facilities to continue her existing programs providing an immediate income for the new owners.

Being offered walk-in-walk-out, with the exception of some personal art items, the sale also includes the website and URL.

The property will be auctioned by Ray White Dorrigo – Rory Birt 0403 913 527 and John O’Leary 0412 948 700 on Friday 8 April.
