`3 Beryl Street – A Tropical Wonderland in the making

 

If you are looking to build an island getaway with a difference you won’t find a more secluded, magical setting this close to the town centre in this price range.  It is just 850m from the shops, 1.2km from the ferry and 1km from the school and pool by car.  Or you can take a shortcut on foot or ride on the cycle paths through the adjacent sports ground, past the Resilience Centre, tennis and basketball courts, Community Garden, and Community Arts Centre, all of which are on the site of the same pocket of fertile former farmland which 3 Beryl Street was once a part of. Despite its proximity to the town centre, its location is well hidden. 

The street is unsealed, so gives the impression of a seamless connection to the conservation land opposite. After wet weather, you can catch glimpses of a sparkling stream at sunset whilst remaining high and dry on site.

The site has been surveyed and soil tested. Town water runs past the site on the same side, meaning a cheaper connection fee. At time of writing, there are no Red E-Map ‘Flood and Storm Tide Hazard’, ‘Landslide Hazard’ or ‘Conservation’ overlays on the site itself. It passed the test of the recent cyclone with the only windfalls being bumper crops of avocados and macadamias!

For gardening lovers, the soil here is a rich chocolate colour. For growing food, it is second to none.

A Davidson Plum planted a year ago has already doubled in height to over 3 metres.  Unlike the rest of the island, which is predominantly dry sclerophyll eucalypt forest, this small, secluded pocket of the island has a uniquely tropical feel. 

While most properties are being wholesale cleared before building, the seller, a building designer with a Permaculture passion, has identified three possible layouts to fit sufficient trenching and space for a three-bedroom home, whilst retaining the best fruit trees.  They have removed many weedy trees, allowing light in to the select feature trees – a mango, macadamia, and a few abundant avocado trees. One look at the site gives anyone with an imagination, the impression of being a magical fairytale wonderland, sheltered by mother trees.

The seller has decided to stay where they are, rather than build again and is reluctantly letting go of what they know is a one-of-a-kind site. Their loss will be your gain.
