159.98 Hectares, Two Homes and Exceptional Future Potential on Northam’s Doorstep
Welcome to an extraordinary rural holding offering scale, immediate rental income and exciting long-term possibilities—positioned directly beside the Northam townsite and bordering Great Eastern Highway.
Spanning an impressive 159.98 hectares, this substantial property combines productive farmland with two separately leased residences, extensive road frontage and a strategic position near Northam Airport and the established services of Northam.
The property is zoned Rural Residential and was previously the subject of an approved subdivision concept comprising approximately 80 lots. While any future development remains subject to fresh investigations and the necessary government and authority approvals, the property’s size and location create a rare opportunity for farmers, investors, developers and land-bank buyers.

Development Potential:
The property was previously associated with a subdivision concept of approximately 60 lots, highlighting the strategic potential of this substantial landholding. The site’s Rural Residential zoning, extensive size, highway exposure and position immediately beside Northam make it a particularly compelling opportunity for buyers prepared to undertake their own planning and feasibility investigations. The council have advised that development of the lot in question is constrained by the conditions of RR26 in the local planning scheme, with a minimum lot size of 2.0 ha. There is potential for up to 80 lots, road infrastructure notwithstanding.
No representation is made that any previous subdivision approval remains current or that future subdivision or development will be approved. Buyers must make their own enquiries with the Shire of Northam, relevant government departments, utility providers and professional consultants regarding zoning, servicing, access, environmental matters and development potential.
Location Summary:
The property occupies a highly visible and accessible position bordering Great Eastern Highway and close to the Northam-Pithara Road connection. Northam’s town centre, schools, shopping facilities, healthcare services, sporting amenities and employment areas are all within convenient reach. Northam Airport is also nearby, further strengthening the property’s strategic location. Large landholdings of this scale so close to an established townsite are rarely available, particularly with two income-producing homes already in place.
Why You Will Love It!
This is more than a rural property. It is a substantial landholding offering immediate income, productive farming use and genuine long-term flexibility in one of Northam’s most strategically positioned locations.
Whether your vision involves farming, investing, land-banking, accommodating multiple households or exploring future subdivision, 35 Northam-Pithara Road presents an opportunity of exceptional scale.
