Under the hammer this Saturday

AUCTION volumes remain consistent across the Ray White group, with 275 properties scheduled to go under the hammer this Saturday.

An absolute beauty of a Queensland listing, which has attracted plenty of interstate interest, is going to auction at 10am.

Cottonwood (above) at Port Douglas is a 1.9ha property in a secluded cove overlooking the Coral Sea.

“We’ve had interest from people interstate who know the area, and either holiday here or own other properties nearby,” Ray White Port Douglas’ Mark Flinn said.

“This is the best location I’ve listed in 17 years of real estate. From the beach house it’s grass down to the sand, it’s on 4.5 acres and only ten minutes from Port Douglas.”

There’s the main residence with a gymnasium, as well as a guest cabana, swimming pool, full-size floodlit tennis court, boatshed, and landscaped tropical gardens.

A treehouse-like Brisbane home (above) is going to auction at 1pm through Ray White Ascot’s Ian Cuneo.

Seller Skye Parker said she fell in love with the feel of 90 Willmington St, Newmarket, which is on a large 673sq m parcel of hilltop land capturing views of the city across to Mt Coot-tha.

“You just feel good when you walk inside it,” Ms Parker said.

“The owners, the people who built it, they still come over for afternoon tea because they love it so much. We’re surrounded by 55 acres of natural reserve which is kind of insane when we’re five minutes or so from the city. It’s hard to get your head around it but you wake up in the morning to the whipbirds and at night you hear the tawny frogmouths.”

For Sydneysiders dreaming of a weekend getaway, a new home (above) in the charming seaside village of Gerroa is going to auction at 11.30am.

The architect-designed three-bedroom, two-bathroom Torrens-title duplex at 9 Burke Parade is just metres from Seven Mile Beach.

“You’re buying the ultimate lifestyle,” Ray White Kiama’s Sharon Ford said.

“There’s nothing like this property in the area.”

Ms Ford has listed the property with a price guide upwards of $2 million.

Meantime, in Melbourne at 2pm, Ray White Craigieburn’s Domenic Campisi is taking 26 Mangrove Way (above) to auction.

“It’s a lovely family home for young couples, but it’s also a nice option for older couples as it’s not overly big,” Mr Campisi said.

“It’s only a year and a half old, and it’s a high-end property for the area in a beautiful up and coming estate.”

Mr Campisi has listed the single-level four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a price guide of $620,000 to $660,000.

Still in Melbourne where the location of 3/39 Garfield St, Cheltenham has got buyers talking.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit (above) is being marketed and auctioned off by Ray White Cheltenham’s Kevin Chokshi at 11am.

“This is metres from Westfield Southland and close to train stations so young couples are loving this home,” Mr Chokshi said.

Held by the seller for almost 30 years, the apartment is full of quality original features, as well as various modern updates.

Mr Chokshi has listed the property with a price guide of $600,000 to $630,000.

A gorgeous cottage (above) within walking distance of Adelaide’s CBD is going under the hammer at 4pm on Saturday.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom character home at 22A Castle St, Parkside is being marketed by Ray White Woodville principal Peter Kiritsis.

Mr Kiritsis has fielded strong interest mostly from young executives who work in the city, with around 45 groups through the door at the first inspection.
