Here on Jane Street, where in days gone by the grand sized block was the norm for the family home, this huge 4162sqm approx. allotment with its 1950's solid brick home has been suspended in time, owned by the same family for decades & escaping modern progress.....until now!
Once the site of a small orchard, market garden, chook run & home for a goat or a sheep or two, this whopping backyard allowed family life to be almost self sufficient. However, times have changed, less of a backyard is considered more these days & with this site's comfortable proximity to the heart of town, it is a dream plot for subdivision with potential for the creation of up to 11 allotments in a 'Community Unit' development (subject to all necessary consents).
With consideration given to the requirement for minimum open space, vehicular access, vehicle maneuverability into & out of the site plus space for owner & visitor parking, the initial Surveyor's proposal of 11 allotments appears to fit comfortably within the parameters of the site & within the zoning requirements of the local Council (an indicative proposal & sketch is available only). The slight slope of the land down towards the street is favorable for storm water run-off requirements in a development of this size.
This opportunity is a rarity as most of the old fashioned blocks located close to the town centre have already been snapped up & subdivided in recent years. The future growth planned for the Gawler & Light Councils, the Northern suburbs region plus the property's easy accessibility to the Northern Expressway indicate that the demand for the type of housing that would best maximize the use of this land will be just as healthy in the future.
