Harrington Estates is committed to continually delivering large blocks for our residents - block sizes all well above the Sydney and national average, according to a recent report.

This year’s 2015 State of the Land report from the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) highlighted that Sydney block sizes have shrunk 11%, with the average medium new lot dropping to 450sqm.

In contrast, Harrington Grove is defined by large home sites from 700m2 and all accentuated by the gorgeous bushland backdrop that is Harrington Forest.

Harrington Grove’s commitment to fostering bushland conservation means that the large homesites allow for generous home designs without encroaching on the stunning surrounding greenery. Approximately 60 percent of the land of Harrington Grove will remain undeveloped to nurture the active regeneration and restoration of the ecological communities.

Offering superior value and abundant space for a tranquil outdoor lifestyle, you could say that Harrington Grove is setting itself apart as an ideal place to live.

Michelia, Harrington Grove’s latest release, is available from Saturday 11 April 2015

[1] New Releases in 2014 hit post-GFC high, Australian Financial Review, 17 March 2015

Michelia (Alba) is a highly attractive and evergreen tree with a vivid combination of bright green tropical leaves and beautiful white flowers that fill the air with their highly perfumed aroma.

The tree will form a spectacular backdrop to the first release of 59 new homesites in Michelia, all of which exceed 700m². With easy access to The Northern Road and Cobbitty Road, Michelia has been developed with a fine balance of solace and convenience in mind.

As with previous land releases, Michelia is designed to take the fullest advantage of the natural bushland, offering immediate access to the extensive pathways and cycleways that wind through the bushland areas for residents to explore.

People wishing to secure a Laurina homesite are urged to act quickly, with less than 50 lots still available. Sales in the most recent precinct have progressed well, with many buyers commenting on the convenient location, bushland surroundings, Laurina Park and proximity to Macarthur Anglican School. It is also located just 300 metres from the planned Michelia Club.

Residents and locals would also be aware of the host of road upgrades around Harrington Grove. The new roundabout on Cobbitty Road at the entrance to Laurina and Macarthur Anglican School provides residents with a safe and easy entry point to their new homesites, as well as providing better access for those entering the school grounds. Meanwhile the upgrade of Dan Cleary Drive permits better access to the Harrington Grove Country Club and Magnolia Club for residents right across Harrington Grove.

Laurina is the seventh precinct to be released at Harrington Grove. Araucaria, Lomandra Rise, Maculata, Dianella and Magnolia have all sold out, while Wildfire has a limited number of homesites available and Laurina will be sure to sell out soon thereafter.

Both residents and developers agree that Harrington Grove is one of the best addresses in Sydney, and it’s not without reason. Choosing to live amidst the gorgeous leafy surrounds of Harrington Grove will introduce you and your family to a quality living environment that’s accentuated by a wealth of facilities and a sense of communal belonging that’s unmatched in Sydney’s Inner West. This, coupled with Harrington Grove’s premium home sites, make a home at Harrington Grove an unrivalled choice for premium land in the Macarthur region.

The land for sale at Harrington Grove is truly spectacular; large home sites are accentuated by a gorgeous bushland backdrop that boasts natural brooks and streams. In fact, the average block size at Harrington Grove exceeds 800m², allowing for larger homes to be built without endangering the surrounding greenery. This is thanks to Harrington Grove’s ongoing commitment to fostering bushland conservation, wherein approximately 60 percent of the land will remain undeveloped to nurture the active regeneration and restoration of the ecological communities.

The Harrington Grove Masterplan involves the development of eight distinct precincts, all of which will enjoy the luxurious facilities and stunning bushland backdrop of Harrington Grove. Our latest land release is Laurina which is located in the western region of Harrington Grove, off Cobbitty Road. Residents of Laurina will relish in the assortment of Tristaniopsis Laurina that bloom across the district and the planned Michelia Club neighbourhood centre.

The team at Harrington Estates wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas.

We hope you’ve enjoyed all the Christmas festivities around the Harrington estate. Now, it’s time to wind down and spend some time with friends and family as Christmas Day comes upon us. Don’t forget to leave out the milk and cookies for Santa!

Again, from all of us at Harrington Estates to all of you: have a very Merry Christmas, and all the best for the New Year!

Harrington Grove’s latest land release, Laurina, is now available! Set amongst the lush natural bushland and magnificent leafy outlooks that adorn Harrington Grove, Laurina offers the ultimate balanced lifestyle for every family.

Located off Cobbitty Road near The Northern Road in the newest part of Harrington Grove, it provides easy access to the Macarthur Anglican School and the wider community. Residents will have access to the newly constructed Magnolia Club, along with the planned Michelia Club, just 300m down the road. Residents of Laurina will also enjoy access to the tennis courts, swimming pools, gym, amphitheatre, Harringtons Bar + Grill, neighbourhood centres, pathways and cycleways.

Laurina residents will relish in the assortment of Tristaniopsis Laurina that bloom in the Laurina precinct. Also known as Water Gum or Kanooka, Tristaniopsis Laurina are a bright yellow flower that blossom in late spring or early summer, and are famed for forming a lovely shade tree.

It was with great excitement that the Harrington Grove team welcomed residents to the new Magnolia Club on Saturday 15 November and Sunday 16 November. The weekend allowed residents to get their first experience of their new neighbourhood centre along with instructions on how to make the most of the facilities on offer.
 
The Magnolia Club will provide all Harrington Grove residents with another lifestyle destination. Smell the sausages cooking on the barbecue. Listen to them sizzling on the hotplate. Salivate at the anticipation of the first bite. Imagine the coolness of your first dive into the pool. The summertime opening has been carefully timed to provide residents with the chance to enjoy the range of facilities to the fullest.
 
Facilities include:
• Tennis court (multipurpose function includes a basketball hoop and backboard)
• Swimming pool
• Barbecue facilities
• Picnic areas
• Croquet lawn
• Kitchen and bathroom facilities
• Alfresco room
 
The Magnolia Club also has a range of different living spaces to suit the tastes of all residents. The entire club has been carefully appointed with style and comfort in mind, ranging from the kitchen to the outdoor living spaces to the alfresco room. The outdoor pergola and patio areas provide the best vantage points from which to capture the scenic surrounds.
 
The weekend proved to be a great opportunity for residents to welcome summer and become familiar with the bounty of new facilities on offer.

Harrington Grove recently announced the new Laurina land release, located west of The Northern Road and south of Cobbitty Road. But where did the name Laurina come from for the latest release?

Vegetation is so incredibly important at Harrington Grove that approximately 60 per cent of the land will remain undeveloped as part of our commitment to fostering bushland conservation and environmental responsibility. This particular section of Harrington Grove is fortunate to have an array of Tristaniopsis Laurina (which are also known as Water Gum or Kanooka), a tree species native to Australia. The yellow flowers of the Tristaniopsis Laurina are bright and usually bloom in the late spring or early summer.

Tristaniopsis Laurina is a popular tree for the fact that it is easy to grow and forms a good shade tree.

It is now easier than ever to visualise the finished Magnolia Club, with the completed building creeping closer. The latest images (in the gallery below) illustrate the building and its surroundings taking architectural form as completion draws nearer.

Some of the recent milestones include:

• The chimney and entry features are nearing completion. The handcrafted stone will add warmth and a pleasing visual aesthetic – you can already imagine spending chilly days relaxing in front of the roaring fire!
• The tennis courts are almost ready for the synthetic grass surface to be laid.
• The pool has been excavated and the concrete shell has been laid.
• The roof has gone on, providing the best indication yet of what the finished product will look like.

As one of two neighbourhood centres, Magnolia Club will act as another destination for Harrington Grove residents to relax and unwind; a nearby home away from home.

It is no surprise to residents that Harrington Grove has been awarded the best residential development 2014 by the Urban Institute of Australia – they have known it all along.

Resident Donna Wickman has called Harrington Grove home for the past 18 months and has been pleasantly surprised with the relationships she and her family have developed. “I’m amazed to have made so many friends in such a short amount of time through community events like the Residents’ Rendezvous. I know everyone in our street and we have all become friends, so we socialise all the time. The staff at the Country Club are really friendly and helpful. They make you feel at home which is great,” she says.

The first time she visited the estate, resident of 2 years Julie Smyth knew she was at home. “We absolutely love living here. From the moment we put a deposit on the land it felt like home. All of the facilities are here for us to use, and it is just stunning. Before we had even moved in we had that strong sense of community,” she says.

Harrington Grove’s latest land release, Wildfire, will be available from tomorrow, 24 May. Set in a natural bushland enclave with magnificent leafy outlooks, these 98 homesites are truly spectacular. Wildfire’s position along Dan Cleary Drive provides the best of both worlds; it has a serenely secluded setting whilst also being close to the amenities on offer at the Harrington Grove Country Club, which is just 600m away.  

Wildfire is the common name for corymbia ficifolia, a tree with striking red flowers that blossom late in Summer. These red flowering trees are a spectacular backdrop to the latest land release.

As with previous land releases, the Wildfire precinct is designed to take the fullest advantage of the natural bushland surrounding, offering immediate access to the extensive pathways and bike paths that wind through the bushland areas for residents to interact with and explore.

Residents are eagerly tracking the construction of Magnolia Club, which is developing with great speed. The concrete slab and frame are now both complete, giving residents a great insight into the size and form of the final product.

Magnolia Club is the first of two neighbourhood centres. It will form an integral part of life in Harrington Grove, providing residents with another destination to relax, socialise and unwind. It is expected to open in summer, just in time to make the most of the pool and barbecue facilities.

It is now easier than ever to visualise the finished Magnolia Club, with the final product creeping ever closer. The latest images (in the gallery below) illustrate the building and its surroundings taking architectural form.

Some of the recent milestones include:

• The pool has been excavated and the concrete shell has been laid.
• The Colorbond roof has gone on, providing the best indication of what the finished product will look like.
• The bricklayers have commenced, getting to work on the fireplace and chimney. You can already imagine spending chilly days relaxing in front of the roaring fire! 
• The ground has been prepared for tennis court.

As one of two neighbourhood centres, Magnolia Club will act as another destination for Harrington Grove residents to relax and unwind. 

The third Magnolia release is now available to the public and is proving to be extremely popular. Located in the southern part of the precinct, these new homesites have been subdivided generously with the smallest measuring in at 702m². This spaciousness provides homeowners with privacy and the freedom of space to enjoy the stunning natural setting.

Residents and future residents alike are excitedly looking forward to the completion of Magnolia Club, which will be a welcoming and convenient space to gath

er and socialise. Facilities will include a luxurious swimming pool, full-sized tennis court, barbeque facilities and a croquet lawn. This is in addition to the full access residents already have to the Harrington Grove Country Club and its tennis courts, swimming pools, well-equipped gym, community rooms and restaurant.

This month the Harrington Grove Country Club celebrates its 5^th anniversary! Since opening in 2009, the stunning Harrington Grove Country Club has developed a reputation as one of the premier complexes in Sydney’s South West.

Set amidst gorgeous leafy surrounds, the Harrington Grove Country Club has been welcoming residents to enjoy its state-of-the-art facilities for five magnificent years. Residents are delighted with their exclusive access to four tennis courts, two luxurious swimming pools as well a fully-equipped gym.

The Harrington Grove Country Club is also a beautiful location to host functions and weddings, with people travelling from all over Sydney to celebrate their nuptials in the spectacular grounds and the beautifully appointed Fairfax Room.

Harrington Grove is thrilled to be named the 2014 Australian Residential Development of the Year by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA).

The national award recognises Harrington Grove as a high quality residential development with a strong social fabric at its core. The development and preservation of the community spirit is key to Harrington Grove, with residents having exclusive access to the Harrington Grove Country Club, two swimming pools, four tennis courts, a gymnasium, barbecue and picnic areas, playgrounds, function rooms, an outdoor amphitheatre and an extensive network of cycleways and pathways. A Community Liaison Team organises a range of events throughout the year, allowing residents to regularly socialise and interact.

The UDIA judges praised Harrington Grove’s respect for the natural environment and were particularly impressed by the overall quality of the development. They also noted the restoration of the bushland and the delicate way it has been integrated into the precincts.

Harrington Grove’s extensive network of shared pathways and enchanted bushland make it the ideal place to get outdoors and get fit. It is especially beautiful in summer, when the days are longer and the bush is vibrant and alive. However, it is crucial to exercise with caution during the warmer months to ensure you’re safe against the heat. Mark Molumby, Director of Grove Health & Fitness, has the following tips to beat the heat:

• Always carry a bottle of water with you when walking, jogging or cycling in the heat, and ensure you’re hydrated before you set off  
• When possible exercise at dawn or dusk when the weather is cooler and the sun is less vigorous
• Use insect repellents to avoid nasty bites
• Wear lightweight clothes (workout clothes are best) to keep cooler
• Slowly build up your summer workouts; your body needs to gradually adjust to your activity during the warmer months. Don’t push it without having built up to it
• Recognise the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which range from headaches to high fever. Seek medical attention if necessary

“The most important thing is to use common sense in deciding what is safe and what may prove dangerous. Be sensible about what your body can tolerate, and enjoy it,” says Mark.  

Residents have been watching the progress of the Magnolia Club with great excitement and anticipation, counting down to the impending commencement of construction. Magnolia Club will not only be a fantastic place to meet and socialise with fellow residents, it will also be the ideal destination to celebrate special events with family and friends. In addition to the luxurious swimming pool for summer and cozy fireplace for the frosty winter months, Magnolia Club will also be home to:

• A full-sized tennis court
• Barbecue facilities
• Picnic areas 
• A croquet lawn
• Kitchenette and bathroom facilities

Magnolia Club will reflect the class, style and amenity of the Harrington Grove Country Club. It will be a warm and welcoming venue that is stylishly decorated to facilitate Harrington Grove’s residents. Magnolia Club is the first of two community neighbourhood centres to be built in Harrington Grove.
