New homes in a beautiful lifestyle location are what many buyers are searching for.
A new ready-to-move-in community in the heart of the Blue Mountains has garnered plenty of attention.
Yarrabee Katoomba is turning heads not just for its luxury duplexes but for its one-of-a-kind location on an old golf course in the heart of the Blue Mountains.
Nestled on a stunning 30-hectare site at 152-166 Narrow Neck Rd, Katoomba, it's an address that offers a dream opportunity for anyone looking for beautiful homes and a slower, more natural pace of life—but still close enough to Sydney.
These luxury duplexes come with a stunning Blue Mountains backdrop.
The project has been a standout prospect, with almost all of the new luxury duplex homes snapped up.
Gorgeous location
The breathtaking Blue Mountains is often regarded as one of the top locations to settle down, boasting an abundance of nature, attractions, and activities.
The vibrant townships of Katoomba, Wentworth Falls, and Leura are teeming with charming cafes and essential amenities—such as shopping and healthcare access—providing a perfect blend of convenience and charm.
Once you step beyond these bustling hubs, the natural world and adventures await exploration.
"It's an area where nature is on your doorstep," explains McGrath Projects Sales Agent Sam Noakes.
“You can walk straight out your door and head to a lookout on your morning stroll."
Buyers will live amidst nature – surrounded by a beautiful 30-hectare parkland.
He adds that Yarrabee Katoomba is right in the heart of the beauty, given its proximity to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, which boasts attractions like the Three Sisters.
Just a short drive away, you can also find the lush Everglade House and Gardens, take a ride on The Scenic Skyway, or enjoy the beauty of Leura Cascades.
Additionally, it's not just the scenery that's turning heads, with the Blue Mountains offering more value for money compared to Sydney.
Realestate.com.au data shows a median house price of $870,000, which has increased 2.4% in the past 12 months.
It's well below the multi-million-dollar price tags of many Sydney suburbs and demonstrates strong growth above the national average.
Opportunity knocks
“Its positioning on an old golf course is one of the main things that appeal to people," Noakes shares.
"There's outdoors and nature right on your doorstep, and these are modern duplexes that will really appeal to downsizers, retirees, and even first-home buyers."
"They're all three-bedroom, two-bath, and have a modern design.
The ready-to-move-in homes are perfect for those looking for a serene Blue Mountains lifestyle.
Every duplex has Smeg appliances, and all the floor plans are centred around the oversized entertaining terraces.
Each has one or two car parking spaces and a big garage, so there's a lot that appeals."
He adds that all the duplexes are on a Torrens Title ownership within a community title, meaning buyers own the land outright—so there are no complicated strata rules to navigate.
A new life awaits
Yarrabee has already been a hit with buyers, with only one duplex left for sale at $1.025m.
With construction already complete, this final release is a rare opportunity to secure a home in the coveted community.
Instead of an off-the-plan purchase, this means a quick buyer can be moving into their new home as soon as the sale is completed.
"They don't have to wait months or years for construction," Noakes explains.
The homes have modern interiors featuring sleek designs and Smeg appliances.
Noakes says it's a tempting prospect for anyone wanting to transition from Sydney markets into a more relaxed lifestyle.
But with only one residence still available, he warns buyers will have to be quick.
