Yarrah Estate Master plan
The initial plan and development was done by WMD Holdings. The plots are divided between residential lots and senior citizen dwellings. A sizeable proportion is also reserved for the local activity center. Acres of space has been reserved for walkways, parks and bush country. Since is Yarrah is intimately linked with Yass, let’s take a closer look at its history.
History of Yass
The name Yass comes from the aboriginal term “Yhar” which means running water. It was known traditionally for the sheep grazing industry and high-quality merino wool. Yass developed into a wine country and an organic produce hotspot in the last 30 years.
There are lots of nice vineyards and farms all over the countryside. There are lots of riverside parks and historic buildings all over.
Location of Yass
Yarrah Estate is located very close to Yass town. Yass used to be a part of the Hume Highway, but was bypassed in 1994. It is still, however, very close to prominent locations.
Yass is 1 hour (60 km) away from Canberra and three hours (285 km) from Sydney.This means you can choose to live in lush greenery while also working in the big city.
Barton Highway Extension is also under construction, which means connectivity is set to increase even more.
