Haven ticks all boxes for buyers

- YASMIN BONNELL

LAND sales at Haven Estate’s stage 3 have heated up prior to its anticipate­d completion in late November.

With views to Castle Hill eight laneway lots have already been snapped up off the plan with two new roads, 23 lots, walking tracks and green spaces currently under constructi­on.

Marketing and sales coordinato­r at Ellis Developmen­ts Meredith Sweeney said only 15 lots were left on the market.

“We released a small portion of the lots to be available off the plan before earthworks, and eight lots were quickly snatched up,” Ms Sweeney said.

“Many prospectiv­e buyers are waiting to see the lots divided and once that is complete, there will be many more sold stickers put up.”

Lachlan Nielson who purchased the first lot of the stage 3 pre-sale said location was the main selling point.

“My partner and I were looking for a house to rent but came to the conclusion that buying our own home was better than renting at this time,” Mr Nielson said.

“I wanted to build a new four-bedroom house and we needed to be close to town but all the other developmen­ts we looked at were about 30 minutes away from the city.

“Haven just ticked all our boxes in terms of price, location and design.”

New home sales consultant Tammy Baczynski said all the new land lots would continue to be built up to the flood immune Q100 level with extra engineerin­g put into street drainage, easements, and storm run-off.

“Because Haven remained high and dry during the February floods, we have definitely seen a massive rise in inquiries and buyers with record breaking land sales here at Haven over the last two quarters,” Ms Baczynski said.

Director at Ellis Developmen­ts Stephen Ellis said the houses that would be built at Stage 3 were responding to a shift in demand for cleverly designed, well-executed inner-city urban homes.

“At Ellis Developmen­ts and our projects such as Haven and Railway Cottages we are known for our meticulous attention to detail,” Mr Ellis said.

“Haven is a testament to our drive for excellence and improving the way our clients live in their homes without compromisi­ng on designer inclusions.”

House and land packages at Stage 3 of the developmen­t start at $289,000 for 2 bedroom home, $359,000 for 3 bedrooms and $385,000 for 4 bedrooms.
