"Goulburn has always been underrated," says David Miers, managing director of Provincial Land Developments.

"People talk about Orange and Bathurst, but if you're looking for a place that has the best of the country and the best of the city, then Goulburn outdoes them both."

In the northern region of Goulburn, specifically on Marys Mount Road, you'll find a land release called The Tillage which describes itself as "a boutique estate situated in the heart of the growing Goulburn area."

Developers of The Tillage recently said "The city of Goulburn presents an attractive prospect for both investors and residents; the unemployment rate is low, medical facilities are readily available, shopping is plentiful," and both Sydney and Canberra are not far away. "For newer investors, it may also boil down to simple economics; an opportunity to get a foothold in a market when they may be unable to break into others."

Agreeing with that sentiment, Mr Miers said "Goulburn's a great place to set up shop. And you're buying something for less than you'd pay in Canberra, and less than half of what you'd pay in Sydney."

Being a boutique community, the vision of The Tillage has been brought to life with particular attention to the needs of the community of Goulburn.

From the sprawling streets and manicured lawns to the careful division of lots sizes, The Tillage is designed to be an accessible and desirable place to buy, build and live.

"When planning The Tillage, we ensured lot sizes that allow our residents to have the freedom and flexibility to build the home they have always wanted," the developers said.

The Tillage has a range of home site sizes to cater to all lifestyles and budgets, ranging from 375 square metres to 923 square metres.

With 130 blocks of land initially available, and close to 80 remaining, The Tillage offers a unique chance for investors to create a home that's ideal for tenants on multiple fronts.

With most available blocks at 700sqm, they offer the opportunity to create a spacious living area by adapting the space for a house and yard, according to preference.

Given the availability of local schools, The Tillage presents opportunities for young families, or couples who are looking to expand their brood.

Childcare facilities are available within a short distance of the development.

With the first residents expected to move in during April/May 2019, Miers is confident that The Tillage offers a significant opportunity for homeowners and investors alike.

Listing agent Ray White Goulburn tells us that prices for the available blocks start from as low as $215,000.
