Grant Bulpett, who is handling the sale along with Mark Litwin on behalf of WST Property Group, said: “Mount View Grange is one of the only development-approved master planned communities that can deliver a long-term housing pipeline to the emerging marketplace in the Hunter and Newcastle regions.”

The property is being marketed as a unique opportunity in a growing region, benefiting from:

The Expressions of Interest campaign for the property will close at 3pm (AEST) on Thursday, August 29, 2024.
