6 Battersea Rise, OCEAN GROVE.

Within 600m of Ocean Grove's shopping centre and only 2km to the beach, this tree-screened, slightly raised block is a wonderful opportunity to either build your dream house or use as a storage block with room for boats, trailors or just the tradesman tools?

There are many reasons to consider a vacant block in an established suburb. Compared to a new subdivision, housing density is known, privacy is potentially greater and shady trees - that can take upwards of 10 years to grow - are established. The sounds of native birds are in the air - not the noise of buildings going up next door. Also, you are usually closer to the major attractions of the region (such as the beach) than from new land releases.

This 535sqm (approx) fully fenced block will suit many house designs. The south and south-east sides of the property are tree-lined, leaving the north-facing side open to the sunshine. There is the slightest rise to the block, though an area has been levelled where a double garage currently sits.

The area around Battersea Rise is well established and quiet with little through traffic. It feels like its own little community. The gentle slope of the land gives it a holiday atmosphere although the attractions and conveniences of the Bellarine are not far away at all. A secondary school and a number of primary schools are within 2kms, as is the Shell Rd Recreation Reserve and the Ocean Grove Aquatic Centre.

Don't wait for your new home to become part of a neighbourhood, join an existing one. Come and take a look, you'll fit right in.
