Incredible response to Mullumbimby release With most of the 18 home sites at Tallowood Ridge’s new release backing onto forested reserve, it’s little wonder the neighbourhood has proven so popular. ‘Eleven have gone already’ said agent Adam Mangleson. ‘The feedback to Stage Six has been heart-warming. Sales are exceptional’. The forested hillside, which offers privacy and quiet due to no through traff ic, provides expansive views to the valley farmlands and Mount Chincogan beyond. And with an unprecedented and never to be repeated average land size of 993m2 buyers can realise their visions. ‘There’s definitely the best of both worlds with Stage Six’ said Mangleson. ‘You are within a vibrant established community with enough facilities to keep you out of your car to a large extent and at the same time you have your very own sizeable piece of hinterland’. Matt Stenner, owner of Bayshore Drive Motors in Byron Bay, purchased at Tallowood Ridge and moved there with his wife Kelly and their children from Byron Bay twelve months ago. ‘We love it’, he said. ‘It’s like living
in the bush but you’re not in the bush. It’s spacious, quiet and we have good neighbours’. Of the eleven Stage Six home sites sold to date, nine have gone to existing Byron Shire residents. Buyers have also been attracted from Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast looking to part of the Tallowood and Mullumbimby community according to Adam Mangleson. ‘People reach different stages of their lives, they want more space, more quiet, more trees’ he said. ‘Everybody is different but there are some consistencies. Most people don’t want to leave this area, it’s too good. They are just moving to a different
experience here. Also the appeal of creating your own home is strong on many levels – financially certainly but also aesthetically and to accommodate changing lifestyle’. Kirstie Monson and her husband Glenn Walmsley moved from Suffolk Park to Tallowood Ridge with their son Zane almost a year ago. ‘We just love it for Zane’ said Kirstie, who works as Account Manager at Santos Organics. ‘You really can have free range kids here. It’s safe and easy for them to be out and about’. The family, who are renting at Tallowood Ridge, would ideally like to purchase within the Tallowood community where Glenn works teaching Yin Yoga and practising myotherapy. ‘Zane has made lots of new friends’ said Kirstie. ‘There’s a weekly soccer game on Sunday afternoons. There are tennis courts, soccer fields, they can go out on their bikes. People are out walking. It’s really friendly and there is lots of green space’. Priced from $340,000 to $395,000, Tallowood Ridge Stage Six is scheduled to be ready to build on in 10 – 12 months. All home sites are fully serviced including fibre cable NBN internet access.
