5 Castle Drive, Lennox Head NSW 2478
5 Castle Drive, Lennox Head NSW 2478
Dual-occupancy approved | Large 1336m² lot | Backs onto reserve | Long-held street
This property presents a rare dual-occupancy configuration on a large, tranquil block, offering immediate multi-generational utility or rental income. Its approved secondary dwelling is a significant value lever not commonly available, positioning it for a buyer seeking flexible use or enhanced yield in a tightly held locale where listings are infrequent. The house suits an extended family or an investor-occupier capitalizing on the separate income stream.
The primary risk is the premium commanded for this configuration, which must be justified against the cost and effort of securing a dual-occupancy approval elsewhere. The opportunity lies in the inherent subdivision potential and the strong capital growth history of the street, where long holding periods indicate high owner satisfaction. This is a strategic hold for seven to ten years to fully exploit its dual-income capability and land value.
Recent sales on Castle Drive demonstrate robust growth. 12 Castle Drive sold for $1.665m after a six-year hold, representing 9.02% annual growth. 2A Castle Drive achieved $1.75m with 8.79% annual growth over six years. 6 Castle Drive sold for $2.2m, reflecting 11.51% annual growth across a decade. This consistent appreciation, particularly for standard four-bedroom houses, benchmarks the subject property’s substantial lot and dual-income potential at a premium well above the $1.75m recent sale.
