Retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life and secure yourself over 2.2 hectares of land just 15 minutes from Newcastle CBD and moments to the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie. This unique and strategic real estate opportunity holds rural and environmental zoning currently housing a comfortable c.1921 weatherboard California bungalow style home. It comes with DA approved plans to operate as a market garden and worm farm and also approves the construction of a second four-bedroom dwelling, huge 63.7m x 7m shed and the creation of an educational facility from the original residence.
The zoning of the property also enables but is not limited to: bed and breakfast accomodation, boat shed, dual occupancies, roadside stalls, eco-retreats, farm stay accomodation, extensive agriculture and plant nurseries. (I always recommend doing your own due diligence with council if you are interested in pursuing the home further)
The attractiveness of Newcastle as a lifestyle hub has seen unprecedented growth in the construction of new homes in the last few years and so this property also represents unmatched future development opportunity to subdivide or rezone for residential purposes, subject to council approval. Similarly sized sites have recently rezoned to create multiple house blocks in the past in this immediate area.
