Rare Coastal Estate 'Lomandra' - Now on the market
Announcement posted by Tom Davey 14 May 2013
[14 May 2013] It’s hardly surprising that when a property such as Lomandra hits the market, investors, developers and homebuyers all prick up their ears. The 10-hectare private family retreat is a rare treasure in the current property market. Nestled up against the coast, and just minutes away from the popular seaside resorts of Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga, the property boasts a unique combination of size, valuable natural assets, beach proximity and subdivision potential.
Lomandra sits just two hundred metres from a three-kilometre long, pristine and near deserted beach and is bordered on two sides by natural vegetation boundaries - ensuring privacy and exclusivity. The property boasts the characteristics of Country Acreage, including a picturesque wetlands area, rolling fields, a freshwater lake, homestead and a level grass playing field. At the same time, the land is only a short five-minute drive to shops and services in the surfing town of Woolgoolga and twenty minutes to the bustling hub of Coffs Harbour.
“Buyers tend to find that most properties in this category don’t tick all the boxes,” says building designer and current owner Peter Davey, who moved to the property with his wife Diana and three children in 1997. “Those that are this large and close to the ocean are often isolated from services, whilst those that are close to services and subdividable are rarely found in such a beautiful location.
There is no shortage of endorsement for the area with some of Australia’s most recognised celebrities choosing neighbouring properties as their private retreats.
“It's been an absolute treat for our family to live here - surrounded by beach, lake, kangaroos and extensive birdlife and while we have enjoyed every minute, we have also been aware of the potential for fruitful and sensitive development.”
Lomandra provides a particularly lucrative opportunity as the local DCP already indicates a potential 61 lot development on the property. The two directly neighbouring properties have received development approval or are in the process of receiving approval for a total of over 130 lots.
"It's an investment opportunity not to be passed up," said Mr. Davey.
Great care has been taken to maintain the property’s unique natural qualities and Mr Davey, a strong advocate of green development and sustainability, is hoping that like-minded investors will be attracted to the sale, securing the property’s unique flora and fauna through high sensitive, low density develop.
“It’s a tough decision to sell something loved so dearly, but the reality is that it’s time to pass the property onto someone new,” admitted Mr Davey.
