Fixed-price certainty, built in
A house and land package brings an available block and a new home design together in one clear option. Instead of trying to work out whether a design will suit a block after finding the land, you can compare the home, location and advertised package price from the start.
Our local team works with land developers across the Ballarat region to match available blocks with Homebuyers Centre designs. Depending on current land availability, packages may be available in Lucas, Winter Valley, Bonshaw, Delacombe, Smythes Creek and surrounding suburbs.
Every block of land is different, so we help coordinate the relevant site information and assessments upfront. This includes reviewing the block’s orientation, soil conditions, bushfire and flood considerations, site surveys, and any planning or building requirements.
We’ll explain what the results mean for your chosen home and provide an upfront fixed price, giving you all the certainty, no surprises.
