Devine’s new residential lakeside estate at Ningi, near Bribie Island, is attracting strong interest from home buyers looking to enjoy the benefits of the Sunshine Coast lifestyle, without the price tag or distance from Brisbane.
Sandstone Lakes Estate, located 44 kilometres north of Brisbane and just four kilometres from Bribie Island, offers a rare combination of surfing beaches and still waters right on its doorstep.
Devine purchased the partially-developed estate in September for $38 million and its first land release of 26 lots, launched in October, sold out in just three weeks.
The company has accelerated its latest land release, making a further 12 lots available this month to meet ongoing demand at the lakeside community.
Queensland General Manager of Devine Communities and Devine Homes, Paul Nash, said Sandstone Lakes was an extremely attractive location for home-buyers.
“The estate is situated in a beautiful location, just four kilometres from Bribie Island, the only offshore Queensland island connected to the mainland by a bridge and the first true surf beach north of Brisbane,” he said.
“The Pumicestone Passage between the island and the mainland also offers some of the best boating and fishing waters in South East Queensland as well as stillwater swimming at Goodwin Beach.
““These natural attractions are complemented by the appeal of a six hectare central lake and waterways with adjoining extensive nature reserves, all within the Sandstone Lakes Estate.
“Devine has also incorporated well-considered active public space and amenities including parks, bicycle-tracks, and playgrounds. All areas are generously landscaped.”
Mr Nash said home buyers at Sandstone Lakes have until January 31 to take advantage of Devine’s New Year campaign, which offers $15,000 worth of new home landscaping including front driveway and path, turf, garden bed, letter box, clothes line, alfresco patio, fencing and gates, for only $1,000.
The latest release of land at Sandstone Lakes has large lots ranging in size from 600 sqm to over 1,200 sqm, with prices starting from around $199,000.
Quality home and land packages, featuring Devine’s new designer range of homes including stainless steel appliances, start from only $399,900.
Mr Nash said Devine’s new in-house design centre, Design Edge, has developed a collection of new home designs which can be tailored to suit each home buyer’s price range and lifestyle – without sacrificing original design and quality.
“Within each family of home models there are four to nine design variations, façade treatments and levels of inclusions, giving families a choice of more than 100 floor plans and price points,” Mr Nash said.
“The end result is a home design that combines consistency of quality with individual design to deliver a modern, fresh appeal.”
Mr Nash said the award-winning Monaco design was just one of many new designs on offer at the Sandstone Lakes Estate. The three-bedroom Monaco home combines space, privacy and style and features two bathrooms, a double garage, two living areas and two alfresco areas.
As well as its lifestyle attractions, Sandstone Lakes Estate also offers close proximity to Brisbane, with easy access to the Bruce Highway linking Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
The estate is also just 15 kilometres from Caboolture Railway Station, which offers regular services to Brisbane’s CBD with travel times between 46 minutes and one hour.
The community will comprise up to 437 lots when completed by approximately late 2010.
