Enjoy a rural atmosphere five minutes from the city centre and build the home of your dreams on this fantastic level block in Gillieston Heights.
Overlooking the nearby Wallis Creek, with views to the surrounding farmlands, the 650.4sqm corner block has plenty of potential.
Make the most of the stunning location with a two-storey design orientated to capture the sweeping rural vistas and water views, or enjoy the versatility offered by dual street frontages to create multiple access points for your property.
Sitting within one of the final land releases in the master-planned Wallis Creek residential community, the block has the advantage of being on the outer extremity of the estate, with no neighbours across the road to obstruct your enviable eastern outlook.
The family-friendly neighbourhood offers a tranquil, semi-rural ambience, with an abundance of walking paths and cycleways to promote a healthy, active lifestyle. Keen cyclists can also make the most of the 2.2km cycleway recently constructed along Cessnock Road by Maitland City Council, which connects Gillieston Heights to a pedestrian overpass on the outskirts of Maitland's city centre.
Beautifully landscaped streets throughout the Wallis Creek neighbourhood add to its visual appeal, while the provision of playgrounds and open parkland provides plenty of space for sporting and social activities.
The estate's master plan also includes a proposed school site, as well as a future community centre, while a multi million dollar shopping complex, anchored by a medical centre and McDonald's restaurant, is set to be constructed near the entry to Wallis Creek for added convenience.
With a number of specialty stores, food and drink premises as well as a 124-place childcare centre, the shopping complex will cater for all your daily needs, while a five-minute drive to Maitland opens up a variety of options including several shopping centres, numerous supermarkets, a strong commercial precinct and a revitalised city centre with a growing number of boutique retailers.
The Levee redevelopment, which runs parallel to the Hunter River along the main street of Maitland, is also gaining a growing reputation as a culinary hot spot with a diverse range of cafes, restaurants, craft beer bars and revamped pubs.
Gillieston Height's proximity to this busting city centre is one of its major attractions, with Maitland also able to cater for all your educational, recreational and healthcare needs.
While Gillieston Heights has its own charming public primary school, additional Catholic primary and high school options are available in Maitland, while the city's train line provides easy access to a range of tertiary institutions including TAFE campuses and the University of Newcastle.
Maitland's city centre is home to a wide range of first class sporting facilities, parks and playgrounds including the recently redeveloped Maitland Sportsground complex, while numerous art galleries, museums and other cultural attractions complement the town's reputation as a heritage destination.
For those who want to venture further afield, Gillieston Heights' central location and easy access to the Hunter Expressway puts you in touch with the region's major attractions and employment centres, with the world-renowned Hunter Valley vineyards less than 30 minutes away, while Newcastle's cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and thriving central business district is just a 40-minute commute.
