Yilawura

Versatile acreage with relaxing rural outlook and newly renovated three bedroom home.

'Yilawura' (Yila-wura) is the Wiradjuri word for "pleasant place to camp", capturing the relaxed and welcoming attributes of the property. This versatile 141 hectare property is a quick 15 minute drive to the town of Gulgong, where you will find all your basic amenities and services and only 45 minutes to the centre of the thriving town of Mudgee.

With sealed road access, mains power, beautifully renovated home, 7 dams, semi-permanent Blue Springs Creek and Cockabutta Creek, richly biodiverse conservation area with rockfaces and caves to explore, and a little over 80 hectares of grazing country, 'Yilawura' lends itself to a variety of opportunities such as a hobby or small-scale grazing farm, eco-tourism or weekender/holiday home.

The fully renovated 3 bedroom weatherboard home features a modern kitchen with ample bench and storage space, large bathroom, built in wardrobes and reverse cycle air conditioning. The sunroom on the northern side takes in beautiful views of the property and surrounding hills, and the wrap-around deck is the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining.

Other infrastructure on the property includes a new double lock-up garage, carport, large 144m² storage/machinery shed, and rainwater tanks with total 75,000 litre capacity. There are 7 earth dams and seasonal watercourses which supply water to stock. The eastern boundary of the property has a small amount of frontage to the semi-permanent Blue Springs Creek.

The conservation area on 'Yilawura' measures approximately 59 hectares and provides habitat for a range of threatened woodland birds and mammals. Of particular significance is the presence of a sandstone cave complex, which is likely to host both Large-eared Pied Bat and Large Bent-winged Bat as a roosting site. The surrounding dry sclerophyll forests also represent prime foraging habitat for these vulnerable species. A third threatened mammal, the Squirrel Glider, is also likely to be present on site.

An application for grants to assist with protecting and improving the ecological values may be made under the BCT's Conservation Partners Program.
