Residential Land

Residential Land

When looking to buy residential land, one of the most crucial aspects to consider is the location. The location of the land can greatly impact your quality of life and the value of your investment.

First and foremost, you should consider the proximity of the land to essential amenities such as schools, hospitals, grocery stores, and public transportation. Living close to these facilities can make your daily life more convenient and save you time and money in the long run.

Another important factor to consider is the neighborhood in which the land is located. You should research the safety of the area, as well as its overall attractiveness and desirability. A good neighborhood can enhance your quality of life and increase the resale value of your property.

Additionally, you should think about the surrounding environment when buying residential land. Consider factors such as noise levels, air quality, and access to green spaces. These aspects can greatly impact your enjoyment of your new home.

Overall, when purchasing residential land, it is important to carefully consider all location factors to ensure that you are making a wise investment that will enhance your quality of life for years to come.

What to Know Before Buying Residential Land —

Purchasing residential land is an exciting step toward building your dream home or investment property. However, it’s a decision that requires careful planning and research to ensure you make the right choice. Understanding the key factors involved in buying land can save you time, money, and potential headaches down the line.

Location is one of the most important considerations. The land’s proximity to schools, shops, public transport, and other amenities will significantly impact its value and livability. Think about the surrounding neighborhood and whether it aligns with your lifestyle or investment goals.

Another critical factor is zoning and land use regulations. Check with local authorities to confirm the property is zoned for residential use and whether there are any restrictions on what you can build. Some areas may have rules about building heights, materials, or even architectural styles, so it’s essential to understand these limitations upfront.

The size, shape, and slope of the land also play a crucial role. These factors affect not only the type of house you can build but also the overall construction costs. For example, a steeply sloped block may require additional site preparation, which can increase expenses.

Access to utilities is another consideration. Ensure the land is connected to essential services such as water, electricity, gas, and sewage. If not, you’ll need to budget for the cost of installing these connections.

Finally, consider conducting a soil test and land survey. These evaluations provide critical insights into the land’s suitability for building and can help you avoid costly surprises during construction.

Buying residential land is an exciting opportunity, but thorough research and planning are essential to ensure your investment is a success.

Blackmans Bay is a coastal suburb of Kingborough Council, Tasmania, Australia. It forms part of the Kingston-Blackmans Bay urban area[2] and is a satellite town of Greater Hobart.[3] It borders Kingston Beach to the north, Maranoa Heights and the Peter Murrell Conservation Area to the west and Howden and Tinderbox to the south.

Etymology

[edit]

Blackmans Bay is named after James Blackman, who occupied land there in the 1820s.[4] Another "Blackman Bay", near Dunalley (also in Tasmania) was so named in 1642 because of the presence of Aboriginal Tasmanians.

Geography

[edit]

Blackmans Bay is located on the hills surrounding a popular sandy beach.

There is a blowhole near the northern end of the beach, which has eroded and forms a large rock arch where waves can be seen coming in and crashing on the rocks. James Baynton is credited with the discovery of the blowhole when he found his lost dog whimpering at its base.[4]

At the southern end of the beach are rocks leading to Flowerpot Point, a popular spot for fishing, although snags are an issue because of the prevalence of seaweed and rock ledges beneath the water. Beyond Flowerpot Point lies a quiet pebble beach that is accessible at low tide. The Suncoast Headlands walking track leads south via clifftops to Soldiers Rocks, dog exercise area and bushland loop walking track.

At the southern boundary of the suburb lies Fossil Cove,[5] accessible via a steep walking track from Fossil Cove Drive.

Infrastructure

[edit]

Blackmans Bay has three primary schools from kindergarten to grade six: Blackmans Bay, Illawarra, established in the late 1980s, and the Catholic St. Aloysius.

The shopping centre Bayview Market, located centrally within the suburb, includes a supermarket, newsagency, doctor's surgery, pharmacy and a variety of other stores.

Blackmans Bay also has a set of three restaurants near the shore.

History

[edit]

The 1830 Ross Almanack describes Blackmans Bay as "[...] several small farms. It is a very romantically situated little settlement with a fine sandy beach in front. The potatoes that grow there are as celebrated as those of Brown's River." The only families referenced in the text are the Mansfields and the Lovetts. The signal station "Mount Lewis" is said to be located next to the Lovett household.[6]

Despite knowledge of the Bay's existence it was settled relatively late, and by 1842 only four or five families lived in the area. The road from Hobart reached Brown's River and ended in Kingston Beach, with only a sandy track over the hill connecting Kingston Beach and Blackmans Bay. One of the earliest settlers was William Sherburd who was granted 50 acres there in 1818, which he started farming in 1819. The existing oval at Blackmans Bay bears Sherburd's name.[4]

Blackmans Bay did not develop as quickly as Brown's River or Kingston Beach, as the lack of a road or jetty made it difficult to access. Therefore the area enjoyed little development between 1830 and 1880, with farmland growth but little change in population. There were still few residents by the 1930s, with only the following six families listed as residing in the area: Ranger, Parson, Ayres, Sherburd, Chamberlain and Keeble. The area enjoyed greater growth during the post-war period. At the beginning of 1947 there were 57 families in the area, and by the end of the year there were 343.[4]

Nest Property and Property Portfolio Manager Karly Jeffery have been absolutely amazing with managing our investment property. They have always been great with the regular business of managing our property and keeping us informed, but Karly really shone when our tenant stopped paying rent and damaged parts of the property before leaving. Karly filed police reports, kept liaising with the tenant to get some payments, took care of fixing all the damages and spent months wrestling with 2 insurance companies and got a great outcome for us in the end. Her professionalism, diligence and tenacity are a testament to the quality of Nest Property and to what a great property manager she is. We are very happy and grateful!
