With the listing of this outstanding residential building block, the desirable Goode Beach lifestyle – with expansive ocean views and the coast a few minutes’ walk away – can be a reality for discerning buyers.
The corner block of 784sqm occupies an elevated position from where it takes in the amazing vista over King George Sound and Frenchman Bay, Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands, Princess Royal Harbour towards the city, and out to the Southern Ocean.
Crystal clear bathing waters and sandy beaches are less than 1km down the road, and the bush reserve of Torndirrup National Park is directly opposite.
Sloping gently down from Austin Road, the block offers excellent sites for a substantial home, shed and gardens. Building a two-storey house would open up the views to enrich family living and bring an exciting dimension to entertaining.
Zoned Residential R12.5, the land is in original bush, some of which could be retained for character and a natural setting to complement the home while providing a degree of privacy.
All utilities are at the boundary ready for connection.
Buyers can be confident that the visual integrity of buildings, including the homes the block overlooks, is protected by the City of Albany’s Goode Beach Reflective Roofs Policy, which defines permissible roofing materials to prevent sunlight reflection and glare.
A school bus to Albany runs from the turnoff on Frenchman Bay Road, and the city is a pleasant 25-minute drive from this attractive coastal community.
Buyers valuing the natural surroundings and expansive outlook this block presents cannot fail to be impressed.
