Sourcing land

Thanks to those who responded to our advertisement and helped us to source a block of land for our first CLT home on Russell Island. In particular, thanks to Chris and Karen who are local real estate agents and Stephen who is a member of the public. We have put in an offer on some land and had it accepted and are just waiting for the signed contract to come back.

Here are some of the lots that were the top runners.

The ad that was published on Tuesday 5th January.
Lot 1 was over our budget when we took into consideration power, water and clearing.
Lot 2 ticked a lot of boxes, but had a couple of large trees that would put us over budget.
Lot 3 again had some huge gums that would put us slightly over budget, but the main issue was the timing for settlement which due to the vendor’s circumstances meant that we wouldn’t be able to settle until their situation was sorted out.
Lot 4 has quite a bit of clearing of small trees, however the clincher on this lot was the neighbour who was a delightful gentleman and would be a great neighbour for any resident of the CLT home.
