Of course, we had to stop and have a chat. A new estate, 17 blocks, no info on cost and nowhere near ready to go through council. They are starting on the road in a few weeks… I’d say this one will be a while before its ready to build on.

From the look of the layouts, these are very steep drives. Some city folks are going to be able to justify their four wheel drives, I’d say! 5 metre contour intervals, and the typical block has between 5 and 10 lines to reach the 1500 m2 house site. Not my cup of tea!

The road will eventually link Cedar Creek Road and McDowalls Road, which will change the traffic flow.

The developer’s website is useless. Just a placeholder. Why do people do that? Why advertise a non-existant site on a big sign in big letters and then not do anything with it? Not something I would let my clients do, thats for sure! A sure way to scare off the customers… Well, could be worse – they could have failed to buy the domain yet! *laughs*

There were only ever a dozen blocks in this estate and only a couple have sold. It didnt impress me very much – small building pads at the front and then a fair drop away. When you see the larger scale map you can see that this is the last land in this area – unless they start selling off the State Forest, which is unlikely.

They have marked them down as they are obviously not selling, which was obviously not what they expected – they thought they would go so fast that they didn’t even put up the usual real estate agent’s hut, and the poor sod has to sit in his car while he waits for his rare prospect. Now that must be the nasty end of the job! I guess they missed the peak of the wave and it will take them a long time to unload this land!
