15-17 Hanlan Street South

Every now and then a property appears that simply doesn't make sense by modern standards. Not because it's over the top or extravagant - but because land like this just isn't created anymore. Welcome to 15-17 Hanlan Street South, Narara. A remarkable 6,600m² landholding, quietly tucked into suburbia and offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years by the same family. And when you stand here, it becomes immediately obvious why it stayed that way for so long. - The Setting. From the street, the home sits proudly on the elevated portion of the block - a large single-level residence overlooking the land that stretches out behind it. It's the kind of outlook that feels more rural than suburban. Open green space, established trees, and long uninterrupted views across the property. Yet the reality is you're still minutes from everything. The block itself spans approximately 161 metres in length, with an impressive sense of depth and space that you rarely see within a residential suburb. Positioned on the corner of Hanlan Street South and Fountains Road, the property benefits from four separate access points, creating flexibility for future use, additional structures, or simply easy movement across the land. This is space you can actually use. Room for horses. Room for bikes. Room for gardens, sheds, or simply letting kids run free. Right in the middle of suburbia. - The Main Residence. Perched on the higher section of the land is the expansive single-level main home, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms and double garaging. Inside, the layout is generous and practical - multiple living areas, open kitchen and dining spaces, and large windows that bring the outside landscape right inside. The real highlight is the covered entertaining area, which looks straight across the acreage beyond. It's the kind of spot where mornings start slowly with coffee and evenings stretch long into sunset. Just beside the house sits a large in-ground swimming pool, perfectly positioned for summer afternoons while still maintaining privacy from the surrounding homes. - The Second Dwelling. At the far end of the land sits something with a completely different character, but the same essence. A full double brick farmhouse, believed to be more than 70 years old, quietly positioned among the trees. With soaring high ceilings to keep things cool in summer, It's a property that tells its story honestly - it requires a full restoration - but the potential is obvious. With its separation from the main residence and its own distinct position on the land, this space could easily transform into: • A restored guest cottage • A multi-generational living option • A unique Airbnb or short-stay accommodation - The Position. Perhaps the most impressive part of this property is how connected it remains. Because despite the scale and privacy, everything you need is close by: • Approx. 2 minutes to Narara Train Station - ideal for Sydney commuters • Around 5 minutes to major shopping villages • Close to schools, parks and everyday amenities For many buyers, acreage means heading out of town and up the mountain. Here, you get the space without sacrificing convenience. - A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity. Properties like this rarely come to market because families simply don't let them go. • A 6,600m² holding. • Two dwellings. • A century of family ownership. And now, the opportunity for someone new to write the next chapter.

The zone focuses on conserving biodiversity, natural landscapes, waterways, and sensitive environmental areas, while limiting development that could damage these features. Most intensive residential, commercial, and industrial uses are prohibited. However, the planning framework recognises that some land within the zone already contains established dwellings. As a result, existing lawful dwellings are typically permitted to remain, be renovated, or replaced (subject to council approval and environmental considerations). In many cases, additional low-impact uses such as environmental facilities, eco-tourism, or certain recreation activities may also be allowed where they support conservation outcomes. Importantly, while the zone strongly restricts new subdivision or urban development, land with an existing dwelling entitlement may retain the opportunity for a dwelling house to be rebuilt or upgraded, provided the proposal does not compromise the environmental objectives of the zone and complies with the relevant Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and development controls.
