Elevated lot with mountain views | Direct reserve access | Modernised kitchen | Bushfire overlay present This property presents a compelling opportunity as a modernised, spacious family home in a coastal village setting. Its competitive strength lies in the combination of a substantial 302sqm building on a 610sqm elevated block, offering rare direct access to public reserve and western mountain views. The thoughtful updates, particularly to the kitchen, position it as a move-in ready proposition that best serves a buyer seeking a permanent coastal lifestyle or a long-term hold with strong rental appeal to families, given its four-bedroom format and proximity to local schools. The primary decision factor is the confirmed bushfire overlay, which imposes specific compliance costs for construction, potential ongoing maintenance expenses for hazard reduction, and may affect insurance premiums. The commercial logic is sound for a buyer who can absorb these mitigated risks, as the property’s size, views, and location offer a scarcity premium in the market. The judgment call is to acquire for lifestyle use with a long-term outlook, or as a rental holding where the weekly income can offset the overlay-related carrying costs.
