Choosing a block on which to build your home can be as exciting as the construction and the lifestyle you look forward to.

While making your decision, you need to consider the quality of the neighbourhood, the proximity to facilities, and the land area.

If you want to add sheds and outdoor living areas, parking for big vehicles or the caravan, and have elbowroom and freedom to play, you need something bigger than run-of-the-mill blocks in new subdivisions.

This residential building block of 1222sqm, which is nearly a third of an acre, is among other big, established properties in a quiet, leafy street in Yakamia.

It’s just a five-minute drive to the CBD and within walking distance of sports fields, shops, schools and recreation areas. The Bethel Baptist church and school are around the corner and the road is currently under realignment to allow access to these and more direct access to North Road.

Mostly in grass, the block is almost flat and all cleared save for a few mature trees retained at the rear and side boundaries for privacy, shelter and character.

It is fenced and all services are there, ready to connect.

Another advantage of this well-proportioned block is its wide frontage allowing options of home design to take advantage of the outlook towards Mt Melville.

Invest for development now or in the future by securing this outstanding lot and plan your family home at your leisure.
