James Thompson from The Professionals in Bathurst has just listed 213 Willow Tree Lane and is already finding plenty of interest from prospective buyers.

Just a 15-minute drive from the CBD, this Willow Tree Lane address is a sought-after location.

Indeed, properties of this calibre rarely come on the market these days.

Mr Thompson said there is already a lot of buyer interest from Sydney.

“Buyer inquiries show a massive 58 per cent are coming from a postcode east of Bathurst – that’s huge,” he said. 

“These are the type of house- hunters who are more tuned to inspections on open days and not appointments because being on a Saturday, as the open house for this property is, allows them to drive here.

“Really, Bathurst is a changing market due in part to the successful involvement of Bathurst in the Evocities campaign, which aims to lure people looking for a tree change from the metropolitan areas to a regional location such as ours.

“They are sick of the rat race and a property like 213 Willow Tree Lane ticks all the boxes for that move. They can sell their Sydney residence and buy here for half the money.”

Jaise Delaney from The Professionals said this property features two completely separate homes.

“The main home is quite palatial and has four bedrooms, while the second has two bedrooms and is a short walking distance away,” he said. 

“It would be ideal for someone who wants to bring their parents or relatives with them when they make the move. 

“There could even be potential to rent the second house out.”

Mr Delaney said the views are superb.

“You can see down the valley all the way to Mount Canobolas in Orange,” he said. 

“This outstanding property could be just the change of pace you are after.

“With an asking price of $879,000, inspection is highly recommended, or come out for Saturday’s open house. You won’t be disappointed.”
