Situated within a Residential Zone (Encounter Bay policy area) under the City of Victor Harbor planning framework, this property offers flexibility for a range of residential uses while protecting the relaxed coastal character of the area. The zoning supports detached dwellings, holiday homes and, importantly, provides scope for land division and redevelopment (STCC), making this substantial allotment particularly attractive for those looking to subdivide or further develop. Across Encounter Bay, large parcels like this are increasingly sought after as the region continues to grow, with planning provisions designed to accommodate well-considered infill and subdivision in established residential neighbourhoods. Enjoy the very best of coastal living in Encounter Bay, where relaxed seaside charm meets everyday convenience. Spend your mornings walking along the esplanade, grabbing coffee at local cafés, or launching the boat for a day on the water, while evenings are perfect for unwinding to the sound of the ocean. With nearby reserves, walking trails, and easy access to Victor Harbor's shops, restaurants, and amenities, this is a lifestyle defined by space, fresh sea air, and a true sense of escape, yet still within comfortable reach of everything you need. **Please note some images have been digitally style to demonstrate potential furniture placement and therefore the actual appearance of the property may differ.
