The Cheung Sha strip near the San Shek Wan roundabout looks set to grow further as a prime residential property location.

A 2480 sq metre site just 200 metres west of the roundabout will go on the block as part of the government land sales in the next quarter, Development Secretary Eric Ma announced Friday.

The site, Lot 763 in DD 332, is on the coastal side of South Lantau Road, opposite the police station. It is near a 1440 sq metre residential site sold four years ago, now an upmarket residence.

The location, just ten minutes from Tung Chung and Mui Wo, offers the attraction of the island lifestyle with relatively fast access to the rest of Hong Kong.

Much larger slices of land at Tai Po, Cheung Sha Wan will also go on sale, Ma said. Altogether they will supply 1350 new homes.
