Warralily Grange first sod turned
Warralily has officially turned the first sod at the estate’s newest neighbourhood, the prestigious Warralily Grange at Mount Duneed. Grange will see Warralily extend west across the Surf Coast Highway while blending seamlessly with its hugely successful Warralily Coast, Promenade and Central villages.
Three stages of construction are approved to commence, with the first two stages now underway and the third stage to commence shortly. Included will be 149home allotments and transformation of the first section of Whites Road into an elegant tree-lined entrance accommodating bike paths and public transport.
Warralily’s $13m investment into initial works at the future 870-lot Grange is a further boost for the local construction industry buoyed by ongoing activity in the Armstrong Creek Growth Area. Construction of the first three stages is expected to take 12 months, with land settlements to occur in late-2019.
The Warralily Grange timeline has been brought forward to match land demand as Warralily reports record sales at the close of the 2017/18 financial year with 555 lots sold. Since the first release of Warralily Grange on February 24, 185 lots have been sold and the sixth stage will be released in coming weeks.
Warralily Estate Manager Ben Stewart said Warralily Grange will be the most premium location in the growth corridor offering the opportunity for sprawling panoramic views, a village lifestyle and ready access to the Surf Coast as well as nearby Geelong CBD.
“The Grange is currently offering lots between 369m2 up to 886m2, so we have an option for most buyers seeking to call Mt Duneed home.” said Ben. “The Grange has also caught the eye of Melbourne based buyers who have been drawn to Geelong for its relaxed coastal lifestyle and affordability.”
The Geelong Bypass & Waurn Ponds train station are within easy access, making the location attractive for those commuting to Melbourne for work, and the $20,000 regional first home buyers grant is another significant drawcard.
“It’s exciting to see Warralily’s Armstrong Creek precincts becoming fully established while embarking on the new Grange village. Neighbouring Warralily Coast has recently sold out.” said Ben. “Interest will reach a new level in coming months when the first ‘hillside’ stage is released at Grange, including generous sized family lots with panoramic views.”
The highly-sought Mount Duneed neighbourhood includes a future P-6 school, local shops, district ovals and three parks including the 7,500 sqm Grange Village Park characterised by its lofty vista. The popular Village Warralily shopping centre and community, sports and education hub at Armstrong Creek are just minutes away.
Warralily Grange will capitalise brilliantly on historic Mount Duneed’s elevated attributes presenting a ‘live above it all’ option with the best of surf, country and city readily accessible.
