Location Value

Springwood Privacy.

Sustainable Living - get the detailed plans. Some at www.diyholidayhome.com.

Seclusion
Isolation Acres, just 1.5Km stroll to Springwood Station

Can you dream of living in blissful seclusion, building your own 400sm Sandstone mansion, within a world heritage bushland.

• The building site is uniquely located for privacy and views.
• All services and most of the concrete road are done.
• Sandstone, originally part of the Sydney Macquarie Street Hospital, is included and onsite.
• Imagine, your only neighbours being Wallabies, birds and other wildlife. This unique freehold land of 3.5 Ha (8.5 acres) includes exposed rock cliffs, waterfall, wilderness and breathtaking views from every angle.
• With just an easy walk to town & transport, this is available for only one person.

Affordable yet priceless.

Walks:
From the back door, walk 15mins to the Historic Village of Springwood - Railway Station and M4 Motorway.
Thriving village - NO Woolworths or McDonalds.
Close (15min drive) to thriving Penrith City - Westfields, Joan Sutherland Opera, Clubs, etc.

From the front door, which faces the Spectacular View - a wonderland of sandstone outcrops, deep ravines and hazy blue eucalypt forests, walk forever. Maybe drop in on your Three Sisters.

All the services are in the ground (including broadband, so you can work from home). Let the kangaroos walk to you.

Privacy guaranteed - no neighbours in sight (or ear shot). No chance of any other buildings.

Resort Landscaping Options

Surrounded on 3 sides by Reserves (never to be built on), which then
adjoins the World Heritage
Blue Mountains National Park

Landscaping Options
 Chook & Duck Enclosure  Lake for native birds & water foul.
 Setup a native species conservation program
 Tennis Courts A small creek runs through the length of the property. Just befoe the waterfall there is a large level area with no trees and almost pure clay (ideal to build a lake).

Organic cottage garden

This has the potential to be featured as a Prestige Property

Build Your Own Eco Resort - Unique Opportunity

I would prefer to find a partner to
build this sandstone house,
design the house inside and the out buildings,
use some imagination on the landscaping,
and then share in its increased value. It will be worth considerably more once completed

I can provide a Site Shed, Security, Building Management and detailed plans for the house & landscaping, laser cutting of stone, building of the walls, roof and slab plus help with finishing the road and lake.

The only constraint to the approval is the external walls (solid sandstone) and iron roof.

Call me on 0416022004 or 0244437237.

Historic Sandstone - dimensioned blocks - on-site

Sandstone Blocks

Dimensioned blocks, originally quarried from Maroubra, commonly called Bondi Stone.
Were foundation stone for Sydney Hospital (Macquarie Street Hospital). When one of the wings was demolished, half came to Glenbrook where the Catholics used them to build a Church. The other half are on my land.

Two Stone Masons have become ‘orgasmic’ at the possibility of building with this stone. One gave it a 5 rating. The best stone now quarried is rated as a 3.

My house design is for solid stone, 11inches thick. There is enough on site for the 400sq meter design (rear is 8ft high, front is 10ft).

I want a smooth, ‘sawn’ look, with minimal cement between blocks. The concrete slab & reo design, with pier & beam (partly built), is designed to support the weight.

Safer than Gold Posted by eftpos4u at 18:42

Safer than Gold

Economic climate is savaging Share prices.
Gold prices can drop, along with all resources.
Even house prices (Real Estate) are dropping.
Plus buildings depreciate and rents cover only half the cost on money.
Land has Location value.
But obtaining building permission from Councils takes time and money. Getting approval is a gamble (risky), and the rules keep getting harder and more restrictive.
Conclusion:
FREE PARKing (for 99 years): The safest place to park money is Land that has building approval wit 'substantial commencement'.

Best strategy for using surplus money is not putting it under the control of a 'Manager', but building something concrete. Duck down with the teenagers on weekends and build.

Vege Garden: Know where your food is grown - DIY. I planted Garlic & Passion fruit - needs only fencing to stop it spreading too much and to keep the friendly 'roos from being too friendly.

Rural residential land is critically short and provides a sound investment for those preferring privacy and open space. This has the added potential of many income earning ventures

Contact the (way too old to build) owner, directly, for detailed plans:
