Strategic Opportunities - A Rare Land Banking Opportunity
Positioned amongst established and emerging R2 residential development, this property occupies a highly desirable location within Hamilton's expanding northern growth corridor. As surrounding residential growth continues, the property presents exciting long-term potential for future urban expansion and possible residential rezoning (subject to council processes).
Significant Future Value
Extensive professional work has already been completed to explore a substantial extension to the existing home. Architecturally designed plans propose a sympathetic expansion creating an impressive 500-550m² luxury estate, while maintaining the original 1905 character. Geotechnical investigations, drainage assessments and concept plans have already been undertaken, representing a significant investment for future owners.
Flexible Future Options
The title is affected only by a drainage easement and is not subject to land covenants, providing greater flexibility for future improvements (subject to council approval).
The generous rear section also offers an excellent building platform suitable for a second dwelling, transportable home, large workshop or ancillary accommodation, subject to the relevant planning and building requirements.
