Stage three of The Hive at The Gap has hit the market.

THE first residents will move in to Hive at The Gap from October, with more than 75 per cent of the first two stages sold.

Lantona, the developers behind Hive, have now launched stage three, which consists of four-bedroom townhouses with spacious open plan living flowing onto private terraces and balconies, natural timber and stone finishes, and top-quality appliances from $749,000.

Each home faces directly onto a protected green reserve with extensive native planting and a dedicated nature trail.

Stage three homes will also enjoy uninterrupted views to Mt Coot-tha, and were released due to strong demand for luxury townhomes from local families and downsizers.

“We have seen a high rate of owner- occupiers purchasing at Hive, especially families looking for low-maintenance lifestyle and couples downsizing from older houses,” said Position Property director Richard Lawrence, who is marketing the project on behalf of Lantona.

The townhouses have an open plan living flowing to private terraces.

Each home faces the reserve.

“The project’s location is only 10km from the Brisbane CBD and is close to well-established shopping, dining, education and recreational services in The Gap,” Mr Lawrence said. “Hive has been designed to provide privacy for residents by leaving much of the natural beauty of the site undisturbed and ensuring each townhome has private outdoor spaces flowing from the living areas.

“All townhomes are oriented to the north and south to maximise natural light, while smart internal layouts promote natural passive cooling through cross ventilation.”

Resident facilities include barbecue areas, outdoor dining spaces and a pool with feature deck — all overlooking the nature reserve.

Hive, designed by architects Ellivo, is within walking distance of schools, public transport, shopping, health and fitness centres and is within easy reach of local attractions including Ashgrove Golf Course, Walkabout Creek recreational reserve and Brisbane Forest Park.
