Northern Rivers residents are showing keen interest in the innovative Mews Precinct lots at Angels Beach North in East Ballina.
Agent Narelle Elks believes the mews lots, a living style popular in Europe yet relatively new to Australia, offer an alternative suited to empty nesters and young professionals. “While they need space for family to stay they also like to lock up and leave, so the low maintenance mews homes are attractive” she said. “The lots are more compact. They are a very clever design, with all homes fronting the park. They don’t front a road, instead they have rear lane access for garages”.
Angels Beach North Mews Precinct resident Jan Stocks moved into her new home over two years ago. “I downsized” she said. “This is a lot easier to look after than the 6,500 square metres I had at Tintenbar. Even though my home has four bedrooms, it’s easy living. The thing I like about it most is that I’m on the park. I’m not on the street I’m on the park”.
“The lots are torrens title” outlined Narelle, “so there is no body corporate and no ongoing costs. They are innovative stand alone blocks where you can build to boundary on one side. The mews homes are set high, higher than street level, so they overlook the park and surrounding reserve”.
Residents of Angels Beach North gathered in one of the Estate’s parks to celebrate recently. “Two more new owners moved into the Mews Precinct, so we have had much to celebrate” said Jan Stocks. “It was lovely, the kids all played and we got to know each other a bit better”. This was the second community get together for residents of the Estate.
Violet Bakos lives her family at Angels Beach North. “We watch the evening rituals of the Bush Stone-Curlews from our bedroom window” she said. “It keeps us entertained, they are absolutely beautiful. My kids love it here and it’s very safe for them. There’s a tremendous community spirit – it’s really family friendly. The other thing is that people are house proud, Angels Beach North is a very respectful environment”.
“The Bush Stone-Curlews have returned with their babies to our two hectare nature reserve within the Estate” said Narelle Elks. “They are being tracked as they are threatened. It’s magnificent to watch them. We also have migratory Bee Eaters here each year”.
