With a view to country living
There are early Christmas presents to be found at Jackson’s View near Drouin, with blocks of land available with a deposit of only $5000.
The offer is available until Christmas, with developer Cartagen Properties keen to make the most of interest in the estate.
Oliver Hume sales agent Shawn Dowd says Jackson’s View is proving popular, with 140 lots sold off the plan in the past 12 months.
He says the estate is just outside Melbourne’s urban-growth boundary and attracts buyers from the region.
“We have found that most of our buyers are from south-east Melbourne, people who have just fallen in love with the natural beauty, Drouin’s country-style living and also the large lot sizes that don’t seem to be available in any other Melbourne estate,” he says.
Dowd says Jackson’s View has the highest inquiry-to-buy ration of any Oliver Hume’s 35 estates.
The latest Jackson’s View release, Finch Court has 17 blocks ranging from 579sqm to 1036sqm, and priced from $134,000 to $183,000.
“We decided to bring the next available blocks to market and sell them based on a $5000 deposit so buyers can secure their sites without having a large deposit tied up for a long time,” Dowd says.
He expects this release to be one of the most popular so far.
“The blocks are much quieter and secluded, with 10 of the blocks in the actual court and the other seven on a quiet side street,” he says.
Jackson’s View is about 100km south-east of Melbourne, on the corner of Albert and Mcneily roads, with views of the Baw Baw ranges.
Cartagen Properties director Shirley Burnell says the planned community at Jackson’s View will feature 7.8ha of landscaped wetlands, walking trails and bike tracks.
“Jackson’s View offers all of the creature comforts of inner-city living while being set among Drouin’s community atmosphere,” Burnell says.
