Hidden behind the street verge trees and fibro fence is a beautiful, flat building block. It’s bigger than a quarter acre, 1 037m2 in fact, and services available in the street include power, water and phone. Unlike land on the opposite side of the street, this lot has deep sewer available for connection in the back yard offsetting that huge cost of installing septic tanks and leach drains.

The neighbourhood is known as ‘Burlong’ to locals, is zoned Rural Residential and has a friendly, rural atmosphere yet it’s only 2.1km to Northam’s Post Office and town centre. Alternatively, Tankard Street is a mere 40m from the front boundary; a great route for an undisturbed, safe walk with the dog or the kids along the banks of the undeveloped, upstream portion of the Avon River.
