Set on a rare 5-acre residential-zoned holding, the property comprises 2 houses and 6 units with 100% occupancy and an established rental history. Complementing its immediate income stream is a professionally prepared subdivision concept that has been reviewed by an professional town planner and designed in accordance with current planning requirements, providing a clear pathway for future multi-lot development, subject to council approval.
