Youth Off The Streets' 40 hectare lot Canyonleigh listings

Two Canyonleigh, Southern Highlands properties owned by Father Chris Riley's Youth Off The Streets (YOTS) charity organisation remain for sale after being passed in at recent auction.

The two 40-hectare properties were offered following the opening of a new Wollongong residential facility for homeless youth.

Raine and Horne Wollongong real estate agent Joe Casarotto has the listing on Lot 1 Tugalong Road, Canyonleigh (pictured above), which was gifted to Youth Off The Streets in 1996 by Matt and Fiona Handbury.

Lot 1 is known as Better Homes Farm, a nod to Mr Handbury's former role as publisher of Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

In 2000 they gifted a second parcel of land, Lot 2 Tugalong Road, now known as Foundation House.

Both properties include residential and teaching facilities. Lot 1, with its substantial improvements is expected to sell for more than $1.5 million while Lot 2 has a guide of $600,000-plus.
