The four-bedroom, two-bathroom Harvey 23 design is perfect for rural building and bigger blocks. ‘The home has everything you need to live comfortably, including a substantial open-plan living area and a kitchen that’s perfect for hosting events with friends and family,’ explains Laura.
‘With three kitchen benchtops, you’ll never run out of space for all your cooking needs, and the walk-in pantry is a dream come true for those of us who love to hide away clutter.’ Plus, with an undercover alfresco area and a separate living space, the Harvey has a smooth and functional flow that’s sure to impress.
For larger families, Laura says you can’t look past the Lawson 28. ‘Its open-plan design seamlessly flows into light-filled living and dining areas while the gorgeous outdoor space is perfect for entertaining. The home also includes flexible living spaces such as a home office and a secluded sitting room that’s perfect for a library or even a home theatre,’ says Laura.
And for a sharp ticket into the market? ‘That’s easy. The Addison 20 design ticks a lot of boxes and has some great structural options like a U-shaped kitchen and additional linen storage,’ shares Laura.

Make a long-term investment
When searching for your next investment opportunity, have you thought about the option of building in Gippsland?
‘Gippsland has always been popular amongst investors because of the increase in equity as well as the cost vs rental return compared to what Melbourne buyers might be used to. We’ve also seen an increase in buyer demand for vacant blocks,’ explains Laura.
‘Coupled with an idyllic lifestyle, shift to hybrid work arrangements, easy to access public transport into Melbourne CBD, and increasing property prices year on year if you choose to sell, families and young couples are looking at Gippsland as a viable place to call home.’
What to expect from the Gippsland lifestyle
Bigger blocks mean a larger backyard for the kids and/or pets, and plenty of privacy with a huge variety of amenities just a short car ride away. You really get the best of both worlds – fresh air, tree-lined streets, and a refreshing country lifestyle, but with outstanding capital growth.
But the biggest drawcard when it comes to the Gippsland region? Definitely the sense of community. For people moving to and residing in Gippsland, it’s the ability to connect with the town, the people and to feel part of something so important. It’s not just an address – there’s real pride in this town.
Gippsland is also home to a range of amenities that are key to the liveability of the area. This includes the Latrobe Regional Hospital, West Gippsland Hospital, access to the V Line and sporting ovals in Morwell, Traralgon, and Moe that cater to the AFL and Big Bash regional games – the list goes on.
Even if you want to go away for a long weekend or family road trip, you’ve got Gippsland’s 90-mile beach a close drive away, the beautiful Wilsons Promontory for camping and hiking, and also Phillip Island, which gets a lot of traction with families here because of the Penguin parade, beaches, resorts, and fishing.
