2 Homes And Horticulture Business On 40 Acres

Posted in Property For Sale, Real Estate by admin on the February 6th, 2010

Overlooking the beautiful Historic Tweed Valley to the West and Tweed Coastline to the East this magnificent sloping property is 20 minutes from Coolangatta, 40 minutes to Bryon Bay and 10kms to Kingscliff beach.

This unique property offers extensive housing and an existing hydroponics vegetable and fruit growing business.

All the hard developmental work has been undertaken in the past five years with new roads, buildings constructed and the original house modernized. The main house has five bedrooms, (main with en suite), separate bathroom and three large living areas, one includes wet bar. The large dining room easily seats 14 persons. The pergola includes a fabulous outdoor pizza oven for entertaining.

The 2nd house, called the dairy bales, has three bedrooms (main with en suite) a 2nd separate bathroom, an upstairs office and extensive indoor /outdoor living areas.

Council has approved joining the two buildings as a single residence. This would make an ideal Bed & Breakfast facility, retreat centre or wedding venue. Given the fabulous views and proximity to other tourism / education attractions there is great potential for alternate uses.

Also included is a separate large two story American Colonial Barn approved approval as staff facilities.

Other buildings include a NSW Food Authority approved food processing facility, adjoining 16 pallet cool-room and a three bay storage shed. Infrastructure includes top quality Stainless Steel washing, spin drying, packing equipment, water tanks, pumps and stand-by generator.

The property has both a spring feed dam and a substantial bore licensed allocation.

The main growing facility constitutes 2 acres of hail netting covering up to date hydroponic tables. In addition there are 2000 tomato plants and 1500 Pataya (Dragon fruit) vines. This business enjoys an excellent reputation for quality “farm gate to plate” produce, such as mesclun salad, spinach, rocket and herbs. A substantial Customer base exists on the Tweed and Gold Coasts - restaurants, tourism facilities, Clubs, hotels and a major national food chain - as well as supply to Brisbane markets.

In addition the long-term value of this property is through its inclusion in the Council’s urban strategy. The property’s eastern boundary adjoins the NSW State Significant urban “King’s Forest” development (5,000+ homes). In 2000 the Local Council recommended the property for a 155 urban block development and has now advanced this potential by inclusion in its future urban strategy. Subject to planning approvals and access to future King’s Forest infrastructure, this property has very significant future value for new owners, urban developers or land-bankers.

This property will appeal to an extended family or partnership seeking to further develop the existing business. It has great appeal as a life-style property for retirees or an extended family. Given its current long term urban potential it also appeals to developers and land-bankers. With the potential configuration of the residential building(s), the property would appeal to someone seeking to establish a bed & breakfast or operate a retreat centre. It is ideal for people planning to immigrate to Australia requiring an existing business and with potential for further development.

Property and savings top investment wish-list

Posted in Finance by admin on the January 2nd, 2010

Almost three-quarters of Australians believe now is a good time to invest in property, a report has found.

This article is brought to you by Mozo – Helping you compare home loans

The latest Citibank Australian Wealth Report revealed that 74 per cent of respondents consider property to be their best option for investment. A savings account, fixed-term deposit or cash management trust was the next most popular option at 68 per cent, the Australian reports.

Citibank’s survey, conducted by Newspoll to cover a national sample of 1,085 people aged 25 and over, found that investing in shares was the least popular choice at less than 50 per cent, the report added.

Andrew de Graaff of Citibank said that following the financial crisis people were keen to have stable investment options for their money.

“The perception we got from the survey is people are just wanting to get that sense of security again,” he told the news provider.

The findings suggest that many Aussies are now inclined to compare home loans and to compare term deposits in search of the best deals for their money.

This week Lisa Montgomery, head of consumer advocacy at Resi Mortgage Corporation, told the Australian Associated Press that many homeowners face having to remortgage their properties as a result of rising interest rates next year.

Australia ranked among best performing property markets

Posted in E-News, Property Investment, Real Estate by admin on the December 28th, 2009

Australia’s property markets emerged as one of the top performers during the third quarter of 2009, trumping most housing markets in the leading economies according to the latest ranking by Global Property Guide. (http://www.globalpropertyguide.com).

Australia’s housing markets recorded a solid price increase of 4.9% year-on-year to end-Q3 2009 with Darwin racking up the biggest growth in prices according to the report. Melbourne and Canberra also recorded strong price gains.

“The upsurge appears to have been partly fuelled by a genuine housing supply shortage. Key interest rates in Australia are now on the rise,” it said.

The report also noted that while many housing markets in the world’s leading economies remain distressed, Australia and other Asian countries are currently enjoying strong economic growth and high residential property price rises.

Israel took the top spot for the second consecutive quarter, gaining 10.15% over the year to end-Q3 2009, an increase from 8.4% increase over the year to end-Q2 2009.

New Zealand recorded a more modest gain of 2.0% over the year to end-Q3 2009 bringing the median sales prices at mid- 2008 levels according to the report.

Hong Kong’s house prices rose by 3.1% over the year to end-Q3 3009, a significant improvement from the 7% decline year-on-year to Q2 2009. During the three months to September, house prices jumped 11.1%. Global Property Guide said this recent performance is causing concern about over-ebullience.

In Singapore overheating is a concern too according to the report. House prices jumped by an all-time record quarterly 14.3% increase (though house prices in Singapore are still down 11.0% over the year). The report noted that Singapore’s economy has expanded 0.5% during the year to end-Q3 2009. Its construction and manufacturing sectors are the primary source of growth, having expanded 12.8% and 6.6% (y-o-y), respectively.

The property markets in UK, Canada, Germany, and South Africa have returned to black during Q3 2009 after suffering falls in prices every quarter since 2008.

In the US, Q3 house price rose 3.1% changes were nominally up 3.1% according to the Case-Schiller index, or up 1.2% after inflation. In the UK, house prices rose 3.4% in Q3 according to Nationwide, and 2.1% according to the Land Registry. Global Property Guide noted that the UK house prices have been rallying since May.

On the bright side, the report noted that investors in Dubai, UAE have something to be optimistic about after nominal house price index jumped 7.0% during Q3 2009 - a dramatic turnaround from an 8.0% drop during Q2 2009. “This is the first q-o-q increase since the financial crisis hit the emirate in late 2008. However, over the year to end-Q3 2009, Dubai’s nominal house prices are still down by 47.0%,” the report said.
