The owner’s favourite thing to do at the property
Grab a cuppa and sit on the north facing verandah to take in the magnificent sweeping vista towards Mt Baw Baw. It’s like a moving postcard watching the weather roll by all tucked up nice and cosy on our little secluded ridge.
The owner’s favourite day trip nearby
Lace up your hiking boots and head to Mount Worth State Park for walking tracks that weave through mountain ash and blue gum forest. Replete with fern glades, lyrebirds and the enormous Standing Giant, a 300-year-old mountain ash, the trails range from an easy 30-minute stroll to more moderate 3-hour hikes that take you through several sites of old logging sawmills from the early 1900’s.
It is fun to find remnants of the sawmills slowly being hidden by the returning bush growth. There are great picnic amenities (including restrooms) which provide the opportunity to enjoy local food and wine you can buy from Yarragon Village.
Guests should not forget their…
Good walking shoes. There are 50 acres of private natural bushland to explore including 2 private walking tracks and a newly built sunset deck that is set into the side of the hill of the property’s western ridge.
