Bed 2 | Bath 2 | Car 1

Area 607m2 

Sold Price $1,100,000

Poised to be the auction event of the year; this prime 607m2 site in a central Esplanade position directly opposite the sparkling waters of Pumicestone passage is being offered to the market for the very first time in 42 years – zoned medium density residential this is an outstanding development or land-banking opportunity.

A charming post-war beach cottage comprising two bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, pleasant eat-in kitchen, sunroom, lounge, large laundry, covered rear patio, and single lock up garage; is currently on the site and is in liveable, good condition with timber floors and high ceilings – this has been meticulously maintained.

Land-bankers or investors may want to retain site for now and rent out property; it is also a character-filled ‘weekender’ for coastal getaways…the longer you hold onto this, the higher the value.

Developers and builders will be excited about the location and the zoning – Golden Beach is a prime lifestyle destination for not only holiday-makers but permanent sea-changers, and is always in demand, with safe swimming, boating, fishing, and the spectacular aquamarine waters of the passage.

Centrally located along the Esplanade, the glorious vista can never be built out, and amenities such as fabulous parks, playgrounds, cafes, and transport are all within short walking distance; Caloundra CBD with its major retail, entertainment, commercial, sporting/leisure, and medical services is just a 5-minute drive.

The opportunity is truly GOLDEN, Opportunities along this stretch are increasingly limited due to high levels of already developed land – this is a ‘stand out’!

Best Feature: Best beach-side accomodation close to Caloundra
