70 ACRE TITLE OF BUSH LAND WITH DRY SCLEROPHYLL FOREST AND RAIN FOREST GULLY

Ros and Kevin have reached retirement age and are keen to travel, to see this wonderful country and do what the thousands of Yeranda visitors have been doing for many years! What a journey it has been with the meticulous building of first  an octagonal post and beam, rock and timber 2 bedroom  home designed by Martin Kavanagh. Following this  owner-builder project Kevin and Ros began their cottage building and decided the secret was to keep house and cottages totally separate from each other …seclusion and privacy are paramount. There is at least 200 metres between house and each cottage. Close to the main house  is a  dedicated cellar /fire shelter, two car carport, large workshop and  two bay bunkhouse (with single vehicle carport attached). 

The two rock and timber, self contained cottages, Kalimna and Pindari   have been in tourism for 13 and 12 years respectively. Kalimna is suitable for one or two persons whilst Pindari can sleep four persons. Extremely high occupancy with great return bookings and certainly  an environmentally responsible approach. Solar power for lighting with gas for fridge, hot water, stove and BBQs. Rain water tanks store sufficient water for cottages use. In 2002 Yeranda was awarded both regional and state level Tourism Awards for Eco tourism and local business awards have been won. Guests return often to enjoy not only the seclusion and privacy but the little added touches such as out door showers, loos with views (as well as these facilities having indoor equivalents). Dedicated camp fire areas and verandahs with excellent views…to say nothing for the millions of stars the non light polluted skies reveal. 

 Bush walks are through out the property and there are recorded sightings of red necked wallabies, pademelons, bandicoots, dingo, possums, brush tailed phascogales and the occasional koala. Bird life is extraordinary with the area being almost at the  cut off point for some of the migratory species.

The small, but now well known, rural town of Dungog is just 17 kilometres away. The XPT passes through Dungog as it travels from Sydney to Brisbane and another train makes several trips per day to Maitland and Newcastle.

The main house has 240 volt power and  satellite broadband access. Two 5000  gallon concrete rain water tanks, a 3000 gallon poly tank catch rain water from house, carports and shed. Water is then pumped up to a 1500 gallon concrete tank above the house and gravity feed services house needs...no lack of water if power goes out during a storm!

Be your own boss….get out of the rat race and enjoy a totally different life style. Consider continuing in the tourism industry or perhaps have the main house as either a weekender or permanent residence and the cottages available for family or friends As well as having Wildlife Refuge status Yeranda has a Voluntary Conservation Agreement on  it’s title. This makes it the equivalent of a privately owned National Park with no  shire land rates to be  paid. This area and especially this property, IS that little closer to heaven!!! 

Inspection is invited by those who wish to familiarise them selves with the property but it would need to be made at a time when Kalimna and Pindari are not booked...Ros and Kevin will always protect their guests privacy. However if there is forward planning it may be possible to ask guests permission for you to see one of the  cottages.

Please note the title north of Skimming's Gap Road  which includes Elouera is not included in land and buildings that are for sale.
