Located in the centre of the Kalgan's newest semirural subdivision, this generous corner allotment lends itself to a range of home styles and designs, from the traditional homestead with wrap around verandas, to a contemporary barn house - whatever you build here is sure to make a statement and be the starting point to an enviable lifestyle.
The quality of 'Kalganup Estate' is noteworthy, with hotmix bitumen roads, concrete kerbing, drainage, crossovers, fencing and street lighting. Power is available to connect, while water tanks and onsite effluent management is required when building.
The orientation and position of this block is ideal. The slight elevation from street level and a 20 metre buffer provided by the road ensures you have more than 60 metres of Northern exposure to capture natural light and embrace solar passive principals. Enjoy a pleasant outlook without the fear of shadowing or on-looking from a neighbour. Build your dream shed and position the water tanks on the south side to shield your home from the block next door - win win!
Toward the rear of the site there is a rise containing a strand of native bush with wildflowers and mature trees giving the lot a pleasant bushland feel and a head start on landscaping. Let the kids run wild within the safety of their own backyard, build a cubby, install a swing or create a firepit area for that campsite feeling at home.
Those living in the Great Southern are spoilt - none more so than the residents of Kalgan with superb lifestyle benefits on their doorstep. From the block, the Kalgan River is a mere 500m walk away, giving you quick and easy access to the Luke Pen Walk, bream fishing and kayaking. A 15 to 20 minute drive will get you to either Nanarup Beach and Lagoon, or Gull Rock Beach. The nearest Woolworths supermarket and shopping centre is also just a 20 minute commute. If you forget the milk or need a morning paper, the Lower King general store with Australia Post outlet, liquor store and petrol station is 10 minutes away.

The townsite of Kalgan is located in the south coastal region, about 21 kilometres northeast of Albany. It was gazetted a townsite in 1912 following the opening up of land in the area, but land had been put aside for a townsite here in 1837. The place was named "Wyndham" on an 1839 map of the area, but there was no subdivision or land made available in the townsite. It is recorded that it was to be the site of a farming community for the Society of Friends (Quakers), but there is no evidence that any Quakers ever settled in the area.
As there was already a Wyndham in the Kimberley when the town was gazetted in 1912, the name Kalgan was chosen for the townsite. Kalgan is the Aboriginal name of the river on which the townsite is situated, the name being first recorded by the explorer Dr A Collie as "Kalgan-up" in 1831. It is said to mean "place of many waters". The river had earlier been referred to as the "French River", since the French explored it in 1803.
