Rarely does the opportunity arise to buy a block of land in the sought-after Nutgrove area, and this particular parcel of 447 square metres has a number of advantages: it has been professionally surveyed; it has Hobart City Council approved plans by a prize-winning bespoke building business for a three bedroom, two bathroom home; plus a landscape design that complements both the block and the proposed building. These are all available to the purchaser but are by no means mandatory.
From the street frontage, the land drops steeply away resulting in the majority of the block having a gentle slope towards the lower Nutgrove area. This also is an advantage as it allows the building to be erected at street level with appropriate direct pedestrian and vehicular access, and subsequently follow the contours of the slope, providing beautiful river views from an upper storey, and garden views from the lower. Having a northerly aspect, the block is drenched in sun all day.
The location of the block is much envied for its proximity to the beaches of Lower Sandy Bay, the playing fields of Sandown, the Sandy Bay Sailing and Croquet Clubs, and the ever-popular Boat Park and surrounding lawns. Easy access is gained to the streets of Nutgrove and the recreational areas via a nearby public walkway, or by a short walk along Sandy Bay Road through the shopping village with its commercial, medical, and caf facilities. The nearby esplanade along the river's edge is a popular walking destination for many. A regular bus service provides transport to the larger Sandy Bay shopping centre and the Hobart CBD, as well as to the University of Tasmania and a number of private and public schools.
