Firstly, what a beautiful spot you have there I'm building on 2.5 acres so half of what you've got! Anyway, we are looking at slab next week (hopefully), so looks like we will be around the same stage. I don't know what your build time is expected to be but we've been contracted up til feb2012 so you might see yours done well before mine! Your design looks great and I look forward to seeing progress on your build! Re: Our journey to acreage living. 32Apr 23, 2011 7:42 pm Hi mike, where ur building and who with? Would love to see plans. We have a 23 week build so around late aug, We are camping at the property ATM. Can't believe we will be here soon permanently .

We are building in Drouin, Victoria. It's kind of a traditional farming area, rolling hills etc. We are only 5 mins from town. We have a view out the back toward the Dandenong Ranges but it hasn't got a patch on your hill views! Most original plans are on my thread (see my sig) but they have changed a little (not the layout, just extras). I know some people don't mind naming their builder but I would prefer not to. I just think if i'd like to criticize them later, I can go for gold! It's a builder that was assigned to us from national builders and I have to say, so far so good! Really hoping I have some pics like yours to show off next week! Slab supposed to be started next week but it's a short week so you never know.
