Set high above the valley in a peaceful and secluded pocket of Yowrie, "Orchid Ridge" is a remarkable lifestyle property offering privacy, tranquillity and breathtaking natural beauty. Surrounded by forested hills and bordering the spectacular Wadbilliga National Park, this is a property where nature takes centre stage.
The panoramic outlook is simply unforgettable - stretching across the Wandella Valley to the iconic silhouette of Gulaga, with Mt Dumpling and Peak Alone completing the stunning mountain backdrop. A high ridge line above the home, where native rock orchids grow naturally, gives the property its fitting name.
Adding to its environmental credentials, the property is a registered conservation area, with council rates offset by the NSW Government. Extensive flora and fauna records are available, highlighting the incredible biodiversity that thrives here.
