Only seven homes in this lovely elevated location, with views to natural bush gullys on both sides. Each block is 2 hectares (5 acres) with a mix of arable land and natural bush. All homes built about 30 years ago, but most have undergone extensive renovations in the past decade. Homes are large and most have a swimming pool, tennis court and horse paddocks.

Ideal for couples, families with children and retirees who like a quiet semi-rural environment with no passing traffic. Located 5 mins by car from Glenorie Shopping Village with Woolworths supermarket, bottle shop, pharmacy, RSL club, Thai restaurant, pizza shop, butcher, deli, bakery, green grocer, newsagent, gift shop, pool maintenance shop, post office, medical centre, vet hospital, primary school, preschool and sporting facilities.

A couple of negative aspects of Beard Place are the relatively slow ADSL internet speeds due to distance from local telephone exchange, and the need for a pay TV satellite dish as there is no Foxtel cable in the street.
