It is becoming close to impossible to find a vacant block to buy in North Tamborine’s very popular Forest Park area that was originally developed from open cattle grazing land about 40 years ago. The magic of this location is that every home has a ½ acre of fertile red gardening soil surrounding it. Today the original, undulating open fields are now resplendent with quality homes nestled into marvellous mature gardens where birds flock at all times of the day. Without doubt, this is probably the very best of the few remaining vacant blocks left here.

179 Beacon Road is a near level block of excellent proportions with a 33.6 metre street frontage. The first impression you get is that the block is flat, but closer examination shows that there is a very gentle slope, just sufficient to ensure good drainage in heavy rains. If you pull out your compass, you will see that the block has an almost due south frontage to Beacon Road which means your big private back garden will be facing north for perfect solar orientation for outdoor living and natural climate control. You also notice that if you look at a more south-westerly angle from the front part of the land, you see tree filtered views out over part of the Albert Valley and right out to the Great Dividing Range. A double storey home would take good advantage of these views from the top floor.

There are a number of trees and shrubs on this block, but the prize tree is a perfect Hoop Pine that stands proudly up towards the front boundary. The seller has removed some trees (stumps still remain) that were located on his chosen building site. We think he chose the best spot to build too!
