This was true for the Mills family when they purchased the very first block at Yarrawonga’s new Glanmire Park residential development recently.
Developers were eager to reward the Mills, who were first to put their names on a block of land when the new estate went on the market several months ago. Sharon and Michael Mills could not hold back their excitment when they were told they had won a trip for two to Glanmire Park Ireland.
“It was such a nice surprise, we didn’t know they were offering a trip,” Sharon Mills said.
“We were keen to get in early and pick our preferred block, so this was a bonus.
“We have never been to Ireland, we had planned to go overseas this year but that was cancelled so we will now plan for Ireland instead for the year 2022 I expect.”
“We are excited about moving into the new estate which is actually very close to the centre of town and the block is a nice size,” Michael Mills said.
The $100m plus residential and commercial development planned for the fast-growing east side of Yarrawonga has attracted an enormous amount of interest in the past several months with a healthy number of sales.
Glanmire Park Sales Executive Briony Russell said the interest in Glanmire Park has been pleasing with over 80 standard residential lots averaging 700m2 and lifestyle lots around the 2000m2 already sold off the plan.
“It’s definitely exceeded expectations,” Ms Russell said.
“To date the majority of our interest has been from local residents of all demographics. We believe another wave of interest will now come from Melbourne,” Ms Russell said
Developer of the estate, Riverstown Developments, plans to develop 200 acres of this prime land closer to the Woods Road end creating up to 1000 residential lots, an additional area for a lifestyle community (retirement village) and more commercial land alongside the Murray Valley Highway. A new sales office on the Murray Valley Highway is now open and initial earthworks began last week on part of the development.
Project Manager and part owner Mark Russell said the development company, which is made up of a consortium of sophisticated investors including experienced land developers from Melbourne, is keen to have the site fully developed within 10 years.
“Many of us have been coming up to Yarrawonga for years and believe the area has considerable growth prospects, we are here for the long haul and keen to get this development started off on the right foot,” Mr Russell said
