Bush blocks for sale review
The thought of escaping the 9 to 5 pressures of city life and escaping to a bush block is becoming less of a dream and more of a reality for many Australians, especially since so many are already working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bush blocks provide a low-cost entry into achieving the “tree change” dream. However, there are many pitfalls in finding the right bush blocks for sale.
There can be many restrictions and caveats of what you can and can't do on a bush block. These can vary for zone to zone, district to district and state to state. Bushfire compliance in particular should be a significant factor that you consider before making any purchase, as there can be substantial cost involved in achieving the regulatory requirements.
Before you begin looking for bush blocks for sale, you need to be clear on your desired endgame. Are you looking for a rural retreat just to camp on? A block of land to build a cabin/dream home? Or do you want to develop the block into a lifestyle farm, or even a business? Having a clear vision of what you require will help determine, within legal parameters, what kind of bush block right for you.
Whatever your plans are you need to do the due diligence. The local real estate agent is a great place to start, but before signing and committing you may need to get legal and local planning advice.
There are bush blocks for sale throughout Australia, but we've selected some of our favourites for you below.
