Craig Hadfield of Ray White Shoalhaven Central Group, who is marketing the property, said: "This isn't just another residential development. The natural setting is impossible to replicate. Buyers are purchasing into a lifestyle where their investment is permanently protected by surrounding nature reserves."
Unlike typical land developments facing years of approval processes, this project delivers immediate construction capability.
"We've had an approved DA for 6 stages of development, but the final stage (Stage 6) is on adjoining land. The land being offered for sale is the first 5 stages of the approved development. We also have an approved subdivision works certificate for the first two of the six approved development stages," Mr Hughes said.
The development comes with Development Consent and Construction Certificate in hand, completed consultant reports across all disciplines, and all necessary approved environmental management plans.
"We were about to start construction on the first stage, but because of all the rain it was too wet, so we are testing the market to sell, otherwise we'll start building next year," Mr Hughes said.
Mr Hadfield said: "Developers could break ground within months of settlement. That's almost unheard of in today's regulatory environment, particularly for a site of this environmental significance."
The approved subdivision creates 111 generously sized from 2500sqm lifestyle lots across six stages, with five stages included in the current sale.
Despite its boutique scale, the community title estate features amenities typically found in larger developments: multi-sport court, playground facilities, a discrete pathway network with boardwalks, professional maintenance compound, and integrated stormwater eco-management.
"It is a community title," Mr Hughes said. "There are some rules around what the land owners can build there by way of material and style. But here you are buying into a lifestyle. The owners will own the roads and they get to maintain and plant what they want to plant. So, it will be maintained to a high standard."
The Shoalhaven region's fundamentals remain exceptionally strong. With consistent 1.8 per cent annual population growth, the region is projected to reach 130,000+ residents by 2036. Median house prices have increased 45 per cent over five years, while rural residential rental vacancy rates below two per cent indicate sustained demand pressure.
"We're seeing sustained interest from Sydney buyers with substantial equity seeking the lifestyle change that regions like Shoalhaven offer," Mr Hadfield said. "Post-pandemic lifestyle migration continues to drive demand, and $240 million in Princes Highway upgrades have improved accessibility dramatically, Sydney is now just 2.5 hours away."
Located 6km from Nowra CBD, the site offers optimal connectivity to regional services, HMAS Albatross naval base, and the new Shoalhaven Hospital, while maintaining its protected natural character.
The property will be sold via expressions of interest or auction on December 2 by invitation.
The syndicate of investors has owned the property for more than 20 years and will proceed with the development if an acceptable offer isn't achieved.
A comprehensive due diligence package is available upon NDA execution.
