51 Blue Gum Drive, Marsden Agents: Rebecca Cuderman and Riah Manser, Ray White AKG

A six-bedroom, four-bathroom complex including 3 homes and an additional community hall at 51 Blue Gum Drive, Marsden has sold under the hammer for $990,000 breaking the suburb record for a one hectare property.
The winning bid went to an investor who registered to bid just a minute before the hammer fell.
Property agent Rebecca Cuderman from Ray White AKG said she was ecstatic with the result
“When the bidding got to $980,000 the buyer jumped in and landed the winning bid. She bought it as an investment to change it into NDIS housing,” Ms Cuderman said.

The winning bidder came into the auction last minute.

“Buyers were mostly investors with one family looking to occupy. Investors were looking for all different uses, there were so many options because there’s so many buildings on the property.
“The seller had owned it for 33 years and was an ex-dance teacher, that's why the town hall was relocated to the site.
The property was the former Danish Community Hall in Stones Corner with the vendor purchasing the property to teach dancing lessons and getting approvals to make the home her primary place of business.
Ms Cuderman also said she was proud that the Ray White AKG team had broken the suburb record for a one hectare property in Marsden.
"There’s plenty of buyers out there if agents want to create competition. This auction the eventual buyer registered 30 seconds before the hammer fall and outbid all the bidders on the floor, she said.
"Marsden is close to breaking the one million barrier and we were proud to be the competition creators."
