8180sqm, 5 titles, 'As Is' Home Opportunity

On offer is an exceptional bundle of green zoned land and an "as is where is" homestead. The potential development is already in 5 freehold titles with services to the boundary of the vacant lots, and there is an existing time-limited consent for additional fill and building platforms that serious punters will appreciate. The current configuration is four ¼ acre sites and one full acre - with one lot also housing the damaged 260sqm 4-bedroom residence. This property may also suit those seeking land in a peaceful and wonderful location away from the hustle and bustle of the city and yet just a short drive to town.

For 30 years the current owners have relished the enviable lifestyle that this property offers. The original stone cottage has occupied the site since circa 1903, and the accommodation has been augmented with the addition of army barracks which have been cleverly and tastefully melded to form this iconic family home. The unassuming and robust exterior provides little clue to the ranch style décor with extensive use of timber and other raw materials befitting of its countryside location. Sadly, the dwelling has succumbed to the ravishes of nature and is to be sold on an "as is, where is" basis - do you accept the idiosyncrasies of this unique character home, do you complete the remediation to retain its form and function, or do you treat it as a salvage project and utilise the land to create your own vision?

The choice is yours.

Make no mistake, this offering is seriously for sale! The owners have fantastic memories of raising their family amongst the birdsong and bush, but they are at a stage in their lives where their focus and energy is now well and truly elsewhere. They are incredibly realistic in their expectations, grateful for their tenure here, and are looking forward to seeing a SOLD sign at the gate.

Call today for additional information or to book your viewing appointment (allow 13mins from The Palms Shopping Centre). Registration of interest is advised as this property may sell prior to the scheduled date.
