This 8.13ha rural block in Elleker is packed with potential for new owners to enjoy a relaxing country lifestyle – keeping chooks, grazing sheep or a horse and growing vegetables.
There’s work to be done before installing a new home and livestock, which is reflected in the price. But buyers prepared to roll up their sleeves and with the foresight to build appropriate infrastructure will be rewarded with a big, affordable parcel of land presenting prospects for development into a productive hobby farm.
One side of the block skirts Marbelup Brook, a year-round water source which flows into nearby Lake Powell to the east.
While this is a major plus for stock water and fishing almost on the doorstep, the site’s proximity to Lake Powell requires compliance with the City of Albany’s Development in Flood Prone Areas policy, so habitable buildings must be constructed with a minimum finished floor level height of 1.88m AHD.
A home on poles or an elevated site would comply with this building policy and minimise the risk of winter flooding.
The block is being sold as is. It’s been a number of years since the old home and sheds were used, and they’re now fit only for demolition and removal. On several sites around the block are two general-purpose sheds, a machinery shed and shearing shed as well as the dilapidated homestead and its outbuildings.
The land, zoned General Agriculture, is flat and partly cleared with areas of pasture and grass still suggested by the old fence lines, though it’s mostly in native vegetation of towering eucalypts interspersed with mature pines. Tracks and firebreaks are in place.
Power is available at the boundary and the block is easily accessible, just 20 minutes’ drive from Albany’s CBD and near a general store and fuel outlet.
This is an outstanding opportunity for judicious buyers to reap the benefits of an affordable holding in an idyllic riverside setting.
