Get in early and purchase this Richmond riverfront property before the predicted boost in growth in the picturesque village of Wardell.

Ballina Shire Council expects the village to double in population in the next two decades and has adopted a strategic plan which will see the town refreshed and expanded. Work is well underway to divert the Pacific Highway away from the town, increasing its appeal as a desirable place to live.

The property is zoned R3 medium density and is suitable for dual occupancy development. The home has been used as a holiday cottage by the owners for many years and provides suitable accommodation or can be moved to develop the land.

With river and mangrove views, the river abounds in fish and mud crabs providing an ideal lifestyle for a family who love fishing and other water sports. Direct access to the river is possible from the backyard for a boat, canoe or kayak.

Set in a private location, the property is just across the road from Wardell Primary School and a short walk to the local shopping centre. Ballina is only 15 minutes away while Byron Bay can be reached in 37 minutes. The nearest beach, Patchs Beach is only 7 minutes by car.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a dream future.
