(Title 1)

Complementing the main residence is a charming brick period cottage boasting 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a third WC, and its own double and single garage. (Title 2)

The property, which is within easy walking distance of the beach, is currently on two titles and will be sold with the benefit of a recent town planning permit for the creation of a third title.

A very substantial red brick wall along the (105 metre) Bluff Road frontage ensures privacy. Access to the picturesque treelined lined driveway is via two gated entrances. The site includes numerous well established native and exotic trees, an inviting and capacious in-ground swimming pool that beckons for relaxation amid beautiful, landscaped gardens populated by several hundred diverse rose bushes, flourishing citrus and almond orchards, and a majestic olive grove. An extensive dripper water and sprinkling system services the main lawns and most of the plantings.

And there are practical features too! They include storage and plant sheds, large water tanks, and a bore water system.

The site offers diverse possibilities. They range from a serene and very private luxurious holiday resort or an astute investment to transformation (STCA) into an intense residential development. The current zoning also contemplates, STCA, some commercial uses (residential care facility, medical centre etc). Because of the size of the site, its central and elevated location, two road frontages, and proximity to the beach, the potential is enormous!
