This picturesque block with a lovely rural outlook presents a multitude of opportunities, and an excellent way to build a new home (subject to council consent) when the majority of the hard work is done. The block is fully established with a double garage which you drive straight into from the street, side gates leading to the block, so you could either build behind the garage or move the garage. (subject to council consent). The council will allow transportable homes, so this could be a very cost effective exercise, with some basic transportables available from approx. $80,000, which means you could have a new house, on more than a quarter of an acre, with a double garage, rainwater tanks, landscaping, mature trees and a very impressive chook yard for around the $120,000 mark. And if you are a first home buyer – you should also be eligible for a $15,000 grant, meaning you could have all of the above for little more than $100,000!

Alternatively, if you would like a) more land and b) a charming stone cottage, the adjoining block is also available for $159,000, or if you are interested in both properties, a combined price of $195,000, a savings of $4,000.
