279 Enoggera Road

A rare, unprotected cottage primed for redevelopment or long-term land banking

Positioned in one of Brisbane’s most rapidly strengthening inner-city pockets, this character-style cottage offers far more than charming street presence – it offers freedom. With no character protection, the property presents a unique opportunity for developers, strategic land bankers, and buyers seeking a future-proof holding in a high-growth corridor.
Just minutes from the CBD and within walking distance to transport, cafés, parks, and lifestyle amenities, the site combines enviable convenience with outstanding potential. Whether your vision is to redevelop (STCA), land bank for capital growth, or upgrade the existing structure, this property provides the flexibility to execute your strategy with confidence.
Set back from the road on a leafy parcel, the existing 3-bedroom cottage features high ceilings, timber floors, and traditional VJ walls. While it can be retained, renovated, or rented for holding income, its true value lies in the options it delivers – an increasingly rare find in a tightly held suburb where most character homes are council-protected.
Why this property stands out to developers and investors:
• No character protection – offers demolition freedom (STCA & BA)
• Ideal land-banking opportunity in a proven, high-demand inner-city suburb
• Strategic location: only 700m to the train station, steps to cafés, restaurants, and parks
• Strong rental and owner-occupier demand in Newmarket’s tightly held catchment
• Close to Newmarket Village, QUT Kelvin Grove, and key arterial routes
• Catchments for Kelvin Grove State College & Newmarket State School
Existing home features (for rental or renovation):
• 2x air-conditioned bedrooms
• Inviting front veranda
• Spacious internal laundry
• Under-house storage
• Leafy front and rear gardens
Opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce – especially so close to the CBD and with this level of redevelopment flexibility. Whether you plan to reimagine, rebuild, or simply secure a valuable future holding, 279 Enoggera Road offers the perfect foundation for your vision.
