Excellent 7,004m2 Residential Building Block – Leading Estate Location
Space limitations that pop up when planning around tiny city blocks don't exist on rural acreages; essentially you can design a larger home with endless living area orientations and room placement flexibilities.
Also, big, elevated blocks of land with ideal building aspects can be difficult to find, even in our country areas. But 26 Merryville Drive not only provides you with both these key new home planning elements.
With 7004m2 of north facing land, you can build massive broad fronted home with the living areas to the north and the south/east to capture both the sun and the broad views across the valley.
Then you can add a swimming pool, superb gardens and orchards using the rich decomposed granite soils and time-proven Merryville Estate water supply.
The block's zoning allows for dual-occupancy developments, making it an ideal opportunity for an extended family purchase. There's plenty of land to add a beautiful dual-occ home to visually complement your larger new prime dwelling.
Whilst there's a current shed on the property, there's ample space to add another larger one, plus keep a couple of ponies that you can ride onto one of the nearby estate recreation areas without floating up.
Essentially 26 Merryville Drive gives you a first-class location amongst quality homes. It's all about exciting fresh opportunities and what you can personally do with them.
Exclusively, there are just 2 vacant lots remaining in the ever-popular Merryville Estate, and this is your best chance to secure one!
So, now's the perfect time to free up your design talents at 26 Murrumbateman Drive!
