Ravensdale Retreat is a signature property of comfort and beauty, offering uncompromising privacy and pristine bushland in the Yarramalong Valley. Just under 90 minutes from Sydney’s CBD and 55 minutes from the Wahroonga M1 interchange, it is close enough for an effortless weekend escape and secluded enough to feel a world away.

Custom designed and meticulously crafted, the residence is a private country home for families who value space, seclusion and refined comfort. The arrival sets the tone: a long private drive lined with black post-and-rail fencing winds over the Wyong River.

The main residence offers five king bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with luxury finishes throughout and expansive picture windows framing uninterrupted views of the valley, mountains and paddocks. A self-contained studio with its own bathroom, kitchenette, open-plan lounge and private deck suits extended family, visiting friends or a home office. Outside, a pool with integrated spa is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine as the afternoon settles over the property.

The home is made for entertaining. Generous open-plan living spaces flow through floor-to-ceiling doors to a covered pavilion with dining for 24, a bar, lounges and a six-burner BBQ station with mini bar. Inside, a custom dining table seats 16, and the gourmet chef’s kitchen features dual fridges and dishwashers, a 120cm oven, a large stovetop, and a vast marble island. A kitchen garden supplies seasonal herbs, and the wood-fired pizza oven on the alfresco terrace overlooks the dam and mountain backdrop.

Daily life here is relaxed and unhurried. The home includes a library, three large-screen TVs, and games spaces. For outdoors enthusiasts there are walking trails through rainforest, freshwater streams and ridgelines, and a stone-scaped dam with a timber deck for quiet reflection.

Designed for comfort year-round, the home has reverse-cycle air-conditioning, deluxe fans and a central bluestone fireplace warming the main living and dining areas. High-speed Wi-Fi is connected throughout.

The adjoining Ravensdale Farm is also being offered for sale separately, giving buyers the option to expand the holding.
