15 Chiltern Road, Ingleside NSW 2101

2.3 ha escarpment acreage | dual tennis courts & riding arena | bushfire overlay present | tightly held Ingleside enclave This property offers a rare combination of scale and established infrastructure that is almost impossible to replicate in the Northern Beaches market. The 2.3-hectare holding with a 573-square-metre residence, full-size riding arena, stables, two tennis courts, and an in-ground pool creates a self-contained lifestyle estate that serves a specific buyer seeking a multi-generational or hobby farm use. The north to north-west aspect and elevated escarpment position provide passive solar advantage and district views that add to its positional rarity. This property best suits a buyer with equestrian or sporting needs who values privacy and is willing to invest in upgrading the existing country residence. The bushfire overlay imposes significant compliance costs for any redevelopment or extension, requiring BAL-rated materials and potentially limiting site coverage options. The 2% building coverage suggests ample room for expansion, but council approval for a luxury bushfront sanctuary will demand a rigorous environmental and fire assessment. The property’s 1989 purchase history and prior lease record indicate limited turnover, which may reduce price discovery risk but also means the current improvements are dated. The strategic opportunity lies in the land’s development potential under Northern Beaches Council’s planning framework, but this must be weighed against bushfire mitigation costs. Hold this property as a long-term lifestyle asset, not a short-term renovation play.
