Highton home with European flair changes hands for a record $3.1 million

A remarkable custom-built two-storey Highton residence on a generous 959sqm corner block has broken records in the street and has become one of the top three results in this popular suburb.

Listed and sold by Belle Property’s Maree Corda, 50 Rivergum Drive, Highton attracted a great deal of interest from several cashed up buyers.

“It was a privilege working on this sale and I’m delighted for the new owners in successfully securing their dream home,” Ms Corda said.

“We knew this magnificent residence, designed and constructed by local award winning builders Signatures Homes was always going to turn heads.

“This was a record price for the street, and in the top three Highton results ever achieved.

“The home, a perfect entertainer in a great location, boasts a breathtaking outlook to the bushland that surrounds the Barwon River.

“Buyers were attracted by this truly jaw dropping property that reflects a five-star execution from the outside in.”

Location would have been a big factor for buyers with the home being only moments from Buckley Falls and the Barwon River walking tracks, while the Queens Park Golf Club being only moments away.

According to RP Data by CoreLogic, the Highton median house price sits at $974,000 with 76 houses currently on the market and 295 changing hands in the last 12 months.
