Securing a Dream Future in Berry
At Rose & Jones, we love nothing more than helping our clients bring their long-term visions to life, especially when they return to us for the next chapter of their property journey.
Recently, a pair of repeat clients approached us with a clear dream: secure a special piece of land in the Berry region where they could one day knock down the existing dwelling and build a family retreat to be enjoyed for generations. Their priority was simple but specific, exceptional land quality and an outlook that would stand the test of time.
They had already identified a property that ticked the boxes, but uncertainty around valuation, particularly the land size and how it compared to the broader market, left them unsure about how to proceed. With a price guide of $5.2 million to $5.6 million, they wanted expert guidance and a strategic approach to ensure they were making the right move.
Our Managing Director, Byron Rose, undertook a detailed analysis of the property’s true value, surrounding land comparables, long-term potential, and market conditions in the Berry region. Armed with the right data and a tailored acquisition strategy, Byron was able to negotiate an exceptional outcome.
The result?
Purchased for $4.5 million — a remarkable $900,000 below the guide.
Even more impressively, from the day the Agency Agreement was signed to the day contracts were exchanged, the entire process took just 17 days. A fast, efficient, and highly successful campaign from brief to settlement of terms.
This strategic buy not only secured their ideal parcel of land but also strengthened the feasibility of their future development plans. Most importantly, it brought them one step closer to creating the family sanctuary they’ve always envisioned.
Another fantastic result for long-term clients we’re proud to support, now and in the years to come.
