Large tracts of green open space will offer a healthy outdoor lifestyle.

New buyers choose Curlewis Parks D

rysdale’s new residential development, Curlewis Parks, has passed an important milestone after selling more than 100 allotments in 2011. RPM Real Estate Group sales manager Rod Anderson says the sales result is a “fantastic outcome”.

“This is an impressive result and underlines the fact that purchasers have been quick to

recognize the great value and lifestyle benefits of the Bellarine Peninsula address,” Rod says.

Curlewis Parks estate is close to some of the best ocean and bay beaches, vineyards, golf courses, schools and shopping centres in the region.

“This is just a part of Curlewis Parks’ success story,” Rod says.

“Strong demand for allotments is also a

reflection of the quality standards and careful planning that has gone into the development of the project itself.

“Each home site has been carefully planned with regards to the three beautiful parks and gardens that form the centerpiece of this residential community.

“Once complete, the parks and gardens will represent a valuable community asset and will

provide residents and their families with large tracts of green open space offering healthy outdoor living.”

Rod says the development will feature 550 home sites, with land prices starting at $149,000 and house-and-land packages from $320,000.

More information is available by phoning Brett Thompson on 0425 869 940.

The Promenade is a precinct within the Warralily master planned community consisting of over 4000 lots. Warralily offers families and couples an active outdoor lifestyle in a beautiful natural environment.

There’s so much on offer including: • 82 hectares of parklands & waterways • Creek frontage lots • Proposed childcare centres and schools • Football, cricket, netball, tennis and lawn bowls facilities close by • Only 10 minutes drive to Surf Coast beaches and Geelong • Interconnected public transport links • Recycled water • Fibre to every home (high speed broadband) • 60 minute drive to Melbourne on the Bypass • Adjacent to the major activity centre & shops

Estuary’s Alan a ‘selling success’ L

eopold local legend Alan Smith is proving to be Estuary in Leopold’s secret to success. The Villawood Properties sales agent has been achieving great results by building trust with clients through his willingness to help.

“Working in a regional market means you have to throw away the sales manual because it’s all built on trust and relationships,” Alan said.

Villawood credits Alan’s friendly demeanour as integral to Estuary’s success since the estate’s 2009 launch.

The desirable address will feature an array of parks, gardens and wetlands within easy access to Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula’s bay and surf beaches and fabulous food and wine destinations.

Alan, a builder by trade who’s just celebrated his 60th birthday, has worked in the property industry for 25 years with 12 years sales experience.

After working in Bendigo, Gisborne and Echuca, Alan moved to Ocean Grove three years ago and has not looked back since.

“The Bellarine Peninsula is one of the most beautiful spots in the world,” he said.

Alan said the key to

Alan Smith at Leopold’s Estuary estate. choosing the right estate was to ask around and now most of his sales at Estuary are referrals from family or friends “The estate you buy in is just as important as the location,” he said.

Alan always encourages his customers to research previous estates by a developer to check if they had “lived up to the promise” of delivering facilities.

Alan said buyers were always very grateful for his qualified advice.

“My knowledge of the

property industry means I can help buyers choose the right block for their needs or help them with documents or planning applications.”

“It’s also a good idea to find out if the estate you like has reasonable design guidelines, not only to protect the future of your investment but also to ensure the requirements won’t add thousands onto your build,” Alan said.

To witness the special “Alan Smith experience” visit Estuary’s on-site sales office off Melaluka Road, Leopold.
