The unprecedented sale of off-the-plan home sites in Stage 1 of Secret Harbour’s ‘Hamelin Park’ estate has accelerated the land development program, bringing forward the release of Stage 2 to as early as June 2017.

Hamelin Park is located within the established beachside suburb of Secret Harbour. It is walking distance to shops, two minutes to the beach, seven minutes to public transport and 45 minutes commuting time to Perth.

The company behind the estate is M/Land, and Director, Mr John Wroth, said the sheer pace of land sales has been a welcome surprise for the company, with the majority of buyers already being familiar with the area and the value the land represents.

“We deliberately positioned and priced this land to appeal to first home buyers or people looking for affordable properties. This kind of offer has not been available in Secret Harbour for some time and, as this is the last remaining land to be developed in the area, it is unlikely to be repeated,” he said.

“Most of our buyers have been looking to upgrade or move from the rental market, without having to leave the area. The acceleration of the development program has meant that Stage 1 buyers will now receive land titles as early as this month, and Stage 2 titles by the end of the year.”

Secret Harbour was identified by M/Land as a sought after coastal village with an established community of over 10,000 people. The area has schools, major regional shopping centre, health services and transport links, as well as an award winning golf course, newly refurbished surf club and a shopping centre, which is undergoing a $53 million transformation to include Aldi and Coles and specialty shops.

“The new shopping centre is expected to generate around 250 new jobs in addition to those at the existing Woolworths. These kind of local employment opportunities are almost unheard of within new land developments,” Mr Wroth continued.

“There’s no doubt that first homebuyer incentives being at an all-time high and interest rates being so low has been a factor to the estate’s early success, but I believe most buyers realised how unique it is to buy into a new land estate without having to wait years for community infrastructure. We are really proud of what we have been able to deliver to new property owners.”

M/Land is part of the M/Group of companies, an organisation that specialises in the identification and development of niche development opportunities across the State, and is responsible for helping to revitalise environments such as Mount Lawley, South Fremantle and Maylands.

Hamelin Park is the last remaining strategically located parcel of land in Secret Harbour and offers home sites from $169,000 and house and land packages from $329,000, excluding the First Home Buyers grant.

The company behind some of Western Australia’s most celebrated residential architecture has arrived in Secret Harbour to launch its first boutique-style land division and take advantage of the area’s established community infrastructure and coastal amenity.

M/Land is part of the M/Group of companies, which specialises in the identification and development of niche land development opportunities across the State.

M/Group has played a pivotal role in revitalising environments such as Mount Lawley, South Fremantle and Maylands and in its first foray into land development, M/Land has secured one of the last remaining strategically located parcels of land in Secret Harbour.

Director of M/Land, Mr John Wroth, said the company was attracted to the site due to its coastal location between the two major centres of Rockingham and Mandurah. He said the land is being developed as an affordable land release that doesn’t carry the risk often associated with early entry into large master-planned communities.

“New land owners can sometimes wait years for the introduction of community infrastructure to support their lifestyle, such as schools and shopping centres. However, Secret Harbour is already a sought after coastal village with an established community of over 10,000 people,” he said.

“That means there is absolutely no wait for schools, shopping centres, health services, and transport links. It even has an award winning golf course, newly refurbished surf club and the local shopping centre undergoing a $53 million transformation to include Aldi and Coles and specialty shops, which is expected to generate around 250 new jobs. This is in addition to the existing Woolworths and is almost unheard within new land developments.”

M/Land is releasing stage one of the 67-lot estate named “Hamelin Park”, which includes 25 lots sized between 311sq.m and 510 sq.m. It is located within walking distance to the shops, two minutes from the beach and seven minutes from the public transport, with the Perth commuting time of just 45 minutes.

Mr Wroth expects a great deal of interest will be attracted from the local first homebuyers.

“We have priced land at Hamelin Park well below the Secret Harbour average, so it really stacks up as a great opportunity for young people to get a foothold in a well-established coastal property market. Its release follows a decade of low interest rates, first home buyer grants and incredible builder incentives – all contributing to Perth’s most affordable property investment periods in decades,” Mr Wroth continued.

“Our development also includes a number of clever design features that create distinction and align it to the standards and style that our parent company has become known for. I am confidant Hamelin Park will tick all the boxes for local property buyers and emerge as a fantastic investment.”

Hamelin Park is surrounded by interconnected parkland, walking paths, and will feature a landscaped park as a centerpiece.

Hamelin Park home sites start from $179,000. House and land packages starting from $365,000, which does not include the First Home Buyers grant. Titles for stage one of the development are scheduled to be issued in April 2017.
