This rural property is a secluded wildlife sanctuary on the edge of the southern NSW country town of Albury. It is very rare for a piece of rural land of the calibre of Caladenia Ridge and so accessible to Albury to be offered for sale on the open market.
Caladenia Ridge is a 110-hectare wildlife sanctuary for rare birds and native Australian flowers that burst into riotous colour each spring, just 9 kilometres from the heart of Albury.
The rural property is located in the upper reaches of the Splitters Creek catchment and borders the Nail Can Ranges Reserve. The landscape views from the upper ridge are breath-taking, affording vistas of snow-capped Mt Bogong in winter.
Caladenia Ridge is habitat and home to the extremely rare crimson spider orchid and contains a mix of white box and Blakely’s red gum woodland, red box and stringybark forest. It is a bird-watchers’ paradise and among its (temporary) residents is the turquoise parrot, which takes refuge in the ranges or uses them as a migratory stopover point en route to nearby Chiltern National Park.
Caladenia Ridge offers an excellent country lifestyle opportunity for buyers seeking a rural property or bushland retreat within easy reach of the sophisticated Albury community. Caledenia Ridge’s extensive network of 4WD-accessible trails are certain to make it attractive to mountain bikers and bird-watchers alike.
Subject to council approval, there is provision on the property for one dwelling and its associated outbuildings on a cleared and levelled site within a 1 ha envelope.
Other features of the Caladenia Ridge property include:
- a telephone line to the house site;
- a dam;
- an intermittent creek; and
- easily-accessible power supply.
If you are looking to buy a bush block like Caladenia Ridge or any rural real estate in NSW for your weekend getaway perhaps you will consider a piece of rural land that is also habitat for many native plants and animals. All NCT rural properties for sale have been identified as important for their natural value and are sold with a conservation agreement in place.
