47 Seagull Avenue

Chiton SA 5211

One of the first allotments built on Seagull Avenue, handpicked for being one of the higher elevations along the front, giving amazing ocean views of Boomer Beach to Port Elliot in one direction and of Chiton Rocks through to Granite Island, Victor Harbor township and The Bluff at Encounter Bay, in the other. The north facing rear has magnificent hills views.

The allotment was purchased by the current owners' family in 1954, with the four bedroom beach house built by then owner Doug Gordon in 1962 using local builder George Britton as the major sub-contractor. The owners were timber agents and used a variety of different timbers both inside and out during construction, notably Siberian Yellow Pine which is found in the internal linings of the family room. The external walls are Jongkong, a Borneo durable hardwood. The house was architect designed to withstand 190 km/hr winds.

There is no doubt the current home has surpassed its once glory days, however the bones are ok and the home would respond to a major renovation, or more likely, a redevelopment which would allow a two storey development - two floors of ocean views, with the garaging coming off Seagull Avenue.

The property is zoned Residential Policy 11 Precinct 17, which allows one and two storey detached and semi-detached dwellings on individual allotments. As the property is connected to sewer, dwellings should have a minimum site area of 450m2 with a 12m frontage for detached dwellings and 350m2 with a 9m frontage for semi-detached dwellings (with a common party wall).

The 780m2 (approx) allotment has a frontage 18.28m, therefore making it a complying development for a pair of semi-detached dwellings to be built, subject to the necessary Council consents.

Another spectacular feature is the Cockle Train which runs along the coast - powered by magnificently restored steam engines, the Cockle train is a local tourist attraction, taking passengers from the River Port of Goolwa to the Victor Harbor township, providing a wonderful spectacle as it passes by.

The views are spectacular in every direction and the opportunities are endless. You can renovate and extend, or redevelop should that be your desire. The location is without doubt the winner here, with stunning ocean views overlooking Chiton Rocks and being just a short walk to the recently constructed Chiton Rocks Surf Lifesaving Club, providing first class caf/dining facilities and a patrolled beach over weekends and holidays.

Sublime sea views in a tightly held location - your holiday escape beckons!
