This is the best Derby land we have ever had on offer! It's that simple. Why? It's huge, it has dual access, multiple building sites (STCA), established facilities and outbuildings, a great outlook and fabulous location. You can already get a hot shower, use a real toilet and do a load of washing while you camp out and decide what to build. Excited? So are we.
This building allotment is approximately 2,023m2 in size, well fenced and zoned Village (Dorset Council), giving you a wide range of permitted uses (STCA). It has dual access and street frontage onto both Hill Street and Renison Street. Water is already connected and mains electricity is ready to connect at the gate on Hill Street and readily available along Renison Street also.
The Hill Street entrance (bottom of the block) has a 12m x 12m excavated flat building site ready to go situated directly next to the most scenic tiered garden of stairs, established trees and spring flowers that leads up to the sheds and the back of the block. Slightly extended, this area would make a great outdoor entertaining area or fire pit area for Mountain Bike (MTB) riders. This tiered oasis features two ‘sheds', which if lined out could easily be lived in on site (STCA). One features a large glass sliding door looking out over the valley below and the other a fully functional gas shower and washing machine set up. Between them sits the original and fully functional ‘out house' toilet, fully plumbed to a septic system from when a residence previously sat on the block. Camp in these buildings in comfort while you get your main build organised. There is also an option to purchase the existing caravan from the Vendor that he has been living in, at an additional cost.
The high end of the block that fronts Renison Street is substantial enough for a second residence (STCA) and takes in the most scenic views across Derby. The block is located a short ride to all town services which include hotels, cafes, post office, shuttle buses and the all important Trail Head.
Derby is home to the Blue Derby Trails which is widely recognised as Australia's mountain biking capital, confirmed by the recent announcement of the returning Enduro World Series (EWS) to be held in March 2019. The last EWS in 2017 saw over 5,000 visitors last time it was held and has added to the continued success of the visitor numbers to the area.
Derby is 34km from Scottsdale and 95km to Launceston. According to local Council (Dorset) who track visitor numbers, 30,000 visitors rode the trails last year and approximately 50,000 are expected next year. Tourism is booming in NE Tasmania with internationally ranked Barnbougle and Lost Farm golf courses, wineries and of course MTB trails on our doorstep.
Vacant blocks in Derby are pretty rare as it goes anyway now, so don't ignore this opportunity to invest in the Blue Derby MTB bonanza. There is still a very high demand for visitor accommodation and this block lends itself to a variety of MTB accommodation options. Buy now, live on site and develop later or just use the existing sheds as fantastic bike storage, sheds and an extra toilet for your new build. Write your own success story, with this block you get a head start.
