FEW people would ever know that there’s an extensive parcel of almost 3000sqm tropical rainforest land on Hamilton Hill in Brisbane.
The prime mega block is the result of a 10 year labour of love and acquisition by local orthopaedic surgeon Dr Steve Andrews and wife Sally Andrews.
Over 10 years the Andrews family bought numbers 17, 19 and 21 Ludlow St, Hamilton to create their mega block with the long-held ambition of building a mansion on the middle block.
“We were aiming to build our big dream home on the site and we have the plans approved. We have spent a fortune on the garden and our favourite area is the entertainment pavilion which has its own kitchen and bathroom too. It’s been inspired by Asia and is fully air conditioned and a truly beautiful space,” Mrs Andrews said.
“It truly is a lovely garden and every single blade of grass we have laid ourselves.”
It’s been a dream private playground for their three children given the size of the inner city land - there is even a 20m playing field created using a different type of turf to the rest of the landscape.
The Ludlow St addresses are being sold in one line through Brisbane’s top prestige agents Matt Lancashire and Christine Rudolph of Ray White New Farm.
One of the largest parcels of Hamilton Hill land on the market in the last decade is being sold as a single estate including two family homes, entertaining pavilion, swimming pool and lush landscaped established gardens.
Alternatively, interested parties may wish to acquire only one or two of the three available lots.
Zoned Low Medium Density Residential, the opportunity exists to develop while there’s also a current DA for a new house on 19 Ludlow Street.
The court approved DA to build a mega mansion of up to five levels on the middle block which will no doubt be very attractive to every builder and developer in the country.
The owners have since bought a beautiful fully renovated estate in Kalinga and will be moving soon.
Ray White New Farm elite agent Christine Rudolph said the parcel of prime Hamilton Hill land with exceptional city and river views could never be built out.
“It’s a cliche but this offering is truly extraordinary and offers an array of opportunities across three adjacent hilltop lots.
“Now on the market, this substantial site presents multiple options for its fortunate future custodian.”
Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire said he’s expecting tremendous interest in this rare holding of close to 3000 sqm of prime Hamilton Hill land.
“The site, patiently acquired by the one family for more than a decade, offers three titles, which can either be developed, or sold as separate holdings. The secluded position, enjoying immaculate landscaped gardens, has spectacular city and river views,” Mr Lancashire said.
The parcel goes to auction on Wednesday, February 26 at 6pm at The Calile Hotel if not sold prior.
