On behalf of the vendor, Jay Harrison at Edison McGrath is pleased to exclusively present 158 Balcatta Road to the market For Sale for the first time in over 60 years.
HISTORY AND OPPORTUNITY:
Approximately 60 years ago, an astute Market Gardener named Ernie purchased a bush block in a new development known as Balcatta. The huge landholding and modest 2 Bed 1 Bath Fibro House served its purpose as both home to Ernie and his family, but also as a reliable source of income.
After clearing the block, Ernie developed his gardens and spent over 50 years selling and providing the community with a variety of fresh produce at local markets.
As time went on, the community developed around him. With many offers to purchase and develop the land, Ernie held on, and for this, 158 Balcatta Road has been admired by thousands of people passing by every day as an ode to what Balcatta once was.
Although the house would now suit renovation via D9 Caterpillar, and gardens no longer used, the house and sheds are still occupied, and in use by his family to this day.
The opportunity with this property is to develop facilities within the Mixed Business zone of Balcatta on one of the largest, and only remaining vacant landholdings. Truly one of the last of its kind in the community.
LOCATION:
The Property is approximately 11km North of Perth Central Business District. Balcatta Road is considered a main road that leads on to Mitchell Freeway, Reid Highway, Erindale Road and Wanneroo Road and utilised by thousands of vehicles each day.
