Wallaby offloads grand estate
THIS landmark grand estate called Yandama in Northwood, set among magnificently groomed gardens with private gated enclosure, is on the market with Chris Wilkins of Ray White.
Wallabies great Bill Young has owned the six bedroom entertainer on 2175sqm of level land for almost four years.
“It’s a grand home and quite rare to find a home of such a build quality as it was built by one of the former owners of home builder Huxley Homes, one of the brothers built it for himself in 1996,” Mr Young said.
“The house needs a big family as it’s made for entertaining. It’s got a big pool, sauna and outdoor area which was well used by our four kids over the last few years.”
The pub baron says he’s looking to move to the Gold Coast next.
“I have business interests on the Gold Coast,” he said.
Mr Young, who played 46 times for the Wallabies and over 100 games for the Canberra-based Brumbies, is a leading Sydney publican. Mr Young recently added a sixth Sydney pub to his family’s hospitality empire after buying the Bar Broadway hotel in Chippendale on the city fringe.
The Northwood estate’s first open will be at 6pm on the 10th November. The home goes to auction on 10 December at 10am.
