Bassendean riverfront “super block” hits the market

Located at 167 West Road, Bassendean, in Western Australia, the sprawling 8,249sqm parcel features a 40-metre street frontage, more than 200 metres of depth, and direct frontage to the Swan River.

The property is being marketed by Ray White Whiteman & Associates director David Whiteman and is for sale via tender, closing 18 November.

Mr Whiteman said while the “super block” carries Western Australian Planning Commission approval for an eight-lot subdivision, market interest has extended well beyond commercial developers.

The centerpiece of the estate is an expansive five-bedroom, three-bathroom character residence defined by soaring ceilings, sweeping wrap-around verandas, and picturesque river views. 

The estate comes fully equipped for resort-style living and equestrian pursuits, featuring a rare council-approved private jetty, a riverside swimming pool, a full-sized tennis court, established workshops, and a dedicated round yard permitted for two horses.

Mr Whiteman said the estate's lifestyle offering stands as its greatest asset.

“This property is far more than just a development site; it is a substantial, irreplaceable lifestyle holding,” Mr Whiteman said.

“The current owners have spent years creating wonderful memories here, entertaining friends on the banks of the river, gathering around the pool and games room, and taking the boat out from their own private jetty.

“While the subdivision potential is an incredible bonus, the strong interest we are seeing from lifestyle buyers proves just how rare this calibre of riverside living really is.”
