Positioned near one of the island’s higher points and sitting approximately 29 metres above sea level, this generous 711sqm block offers the perfect foundation for a larger home with potential southern and western views. With a gentle slope from the street, the land is naturally suited for capturing outlooks and creating a private, elevated setting.
Located in a growing part of Russell Island, this block provides both space and flexibility. Land size directly impacts the type of home allowed, and at over 700sqm you can typically build a 3–4 bedroom residence, add a pool or spa, and still have room for a large shed (STC).
Low holding costs add to the appeal. Power and water run past the property, but with services not yet connected, there are no quarterly bills while you hold the land. Power connection currently has a 91-day lead time, giving ample opportunity to obtain a DA and even install septic before connection is activated.
The block remains uncleared bushland with small trees and light scrub—easy to clear once your building permit is issued. With no neighbours and no council requirement for regular mowing or slashing, your holding costs stay minimal—unlike many blocks where this is mandatory every six weeks.
