PAST RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
BRUSH CREEK, EDGEWORTH
Brush Creek was a joint venture with the Fisher family to produce a boutique residential living opportunity in Lake Macquarie, with highly anticipated residential land for sale near Newcastle NSW. First launched in 2018 the 21 hectare parcel of pristine land is situated in the suburban area of Edgeworth and offers 238 homesites ideally suited for all stages of life. Future residents can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, nearby the lively café precinct at Warners Bay, as well as having Newcastle beaches and CBD within an easy half hour drive. Brush Creek was suitably named after the creek which flows through the land and is a tribute to the floral emblem of Lake Macquarie, the bottlebrush.
Proving popular with the local market, Brush Creek complete its final stages of development, with the community sold out in early 2024.
THE BOWER, MEDOWIE
The Bower is a 127 hectare residential community which launched in 2016. Located off Medowie Road in Medowie, the site is on the western side of the Medowie township adjoining a small acreage subdivision and the Medowie State Conservation Area. The estate offered 406 homesites ranging in size from 500 to over 5000 square meters across 57 hectares. As a compliment to the beautiful forestry which encompasses The Bower, 70 hectares will be preserved as State Conservation Area and open space.
A key focus was to develop a community that is sympathetic to the surrounding area and complement the Medowie lifestyle. In 2020 The Bower also welcomed the launch of Principle Living’s Retirement Living, Blueheath, a 110 villa community within The Bower.
IRONBARK RIDGE, MUSWELLBROOK
Ironbark Ridge is the only fully serviced rural residential community in Muswellbrook. The popularity of the community is due to the mix of features on offer. The spacious acreage homesites come with fully serviced underground power and sewer whilst the large blocks feature wide frontages and elevated northerly aspect. Ironbark Ridge is also just minutes from Muswellbrook’s shops, schools, parklands, and other town conveniences..
Careful attention must be paid to the aesthetics and amenities of the community. The selections that characterise Ironbark Ridge are deliberate, from the entry feature selection reflective of the cattle grazing past use; to the curves in the footpath creating a pleasant ‘country meander’ for residents to walk; to the selection of the streetlights and placement of seating.
LAMPADA, TAMWORTH
A joint venture with the Nesbitt family, Lampada is a 41-hectare residential and rural residential subdivision in Calala, just south of Tamworth, Australia’s country music capital. Lampada offers the balance of being conveniently located close to everyday necessities but being far enough away for residents to enjoy the space and openness of the country. Lampada is also situated just minutes from some of Tamworth’s premier sporting and entertainment venues.
The site enjoys sweeping northerly views of the city and picturesque views of the New England mountain range. All homesites at Lampada will be ready to be connected to town water, sewerage and high speed internet via the NBN network. The striking entry feature and name “Lampada” – Italian for ‘lamp’ – pay homage to the fact that Tamworth had the first electric street lights in Australia.
