"Nature - Views and great Beaches"
We bought right against the State park - a very sloping block but this means panoramic views that can not be build out. Mc Crae still has all the trees - so all I see are the trees, skye and the Bay which in most cases will be North facing. My 3 daughters are members of the Mc Crae Yacht Club -just the best ever - and the beach / save swimming is excellent. Behind us are great walking tracks that brings you right to Arthurs Seat.
Mc Crae has a great little shopping area - and fantastic cafe's - eg Trims, The Pavillion, Heronswood and the best Thai restaurant on the Peninsula - The Light House Cafe.
When you do buy however try not to get to close to the Freeway - noise can be bad. But I have been told they will erect sound barriers - Mc Crae is pricy but according the valuers - it is the place to be with up to 30% capital growth in 2 years. I paid $800,000 4 years ago - just been valued by Westpac at 1.2 Mill. Agent are talking round 1.5 Mill - So great place to live and a very nice nest -egg.
