The Property

This home is a part of East Ballina's history. Prior to the current owner it has served as the beach house for a local family since the 50's and the essence of sunny summers and happy Easters is felt in every room. It has been impeccably restored and retains the original retro decor which adds to the character of this house.

The home offers three large bedrooms, new bathrooms, kitchen, relaxed open style living and a rumpus room together with wonderful entertaining decks addressing the spectacular ocean and hinterland views.There is currently a self contained unit downstairs that could be converted to a substantial family home. The property has dual road access and council approval is currently being sought to subdivide the front of the block to create another building opportunity.

This property offers a purchaser many different options in a unique location.

The Area

• Ballina is surrounded by a complex network of waterways that ultimately flow into the Richmond River and from there, into the Pacific. It is a fast-growing town that offers excellent educational, medical and cultural services. At the same time residents - along with tourists - have access to some of the east coast's most beautiful beaches and hinterland areas.
• Ballina is approximately 50 minutes from Coolangatta and 120 minutes from Brisbane. Numerous jet services to Sydney and elsewhere operate out of Ballina Airport each day.
• Ballina offers a wide range of properties, including some impressive historical buildings, ranging from the rather modest to the very grand. Several residential estates also offer excellent housing options. Of these, Angels Beach, The Headlands, Chickiba, North Lakes and Ballina Heights all offer great homes for families. Just off the Richmond River, Ballina Quays provides residents with upmarket waterfront homes.
• With a population approaching 21,000, Ballina has strong demand for quality childcare and educational services.
• The mighty Richmond River is the centre of the many of the recreational activities undertaken by locals. All kinds of boating activities are popular, as are water skiing and fishing and each November the local Chamber of Commerce sponsors ‘Rivafest'. There are also some great places near the river's edge to walk, run and cycle. Many competition sports are played in Ballina, including rugby league, rugby union, AFL, soccer, touch football, cricket, baseball and basketball. There are three gyms, including a women's only facility. There's an excellent golf course and a 9 hole ‘country club' course at Teven, along with a golf driving range. Ballina also has its own Turf Club, and each year it holds The Ballina Cup races. Best of all, the whole town celebrates it with a half day holiday.
