My Canberra real estate spy with a religious bend - he calls himself FRIAR but that's probably part of his spycraft - made another dead letter drop, this time to tell me about what is probably the most stunning property on the Clyde River, built sometime in the 90s and owned by the couple who used to own the Batemans Bay and other McDonald's franchises.
It went online only three days ago, with the agents Ray White keeping its location secret, suggesting that "Address [is] available on request", but every local knows where it is and anyone coming up the river can see it on the starboard side. If you don't have a boat, simply click here.
The advertisement gives no price and invites "Expressions of Interest", but the clipping from the Canberra Times suggests a price guide of $5 million which would smash the current sale record for Batemans Bay.
P.S. If you want to know what a property is worth, realestateview.com.au is a good starting point.
P.P.S. Well, 116 Snapper Point Road was not snapped up; instead, it has been taken off the market again.
