A consented building platform is already in place, with significant groundwork completed, allowing the next owner to fast-track their plans.

Extensive investment has been made in key infrastructure, including formed road access, an engineered bridge, and a high-voltage power supply. Continue with the vendor's vision or create something entirely your own-the choice is yours.

Perfectly suited to those dreaming of a tranquil lifestyle property, the land enjoys harbour views, natural shelter, and an abundance of native flora and fauna. Despite its secluded feel, convenience is close at hand, with the local grocery store and main street just 1.7km away, and the beach only a short walk further.

For developers and investors, this property presents an equally compelling opportunity. A previous subdivision consent application was prepared, with all supporting professional reports completed and available for handover.

To further enhance the development prospects, the vendor is open to discussing a boundary adjustment with an adjoining block to improve the overall layout and viability.

Fresh water supply options have been investigated, and the vendor is currently progressing solutions that will provide a reliable water source for the incoming owner. Wastewater services would be provided by way of a septic system, installed as part of any future dwelling construction.

Whether you're seeking a private sanctuary to build your dream home or a development opportunity with substantial groundwork already completed, 115 Stony Bay Road offers exceptional potential in a truly special location.
