House designs for acreage

Kathjax · Nov 11, 2015 3:44 pm

Hi - I've just gone and bought myself a 1 acre block of land in Bunyip...won't settle for 12 months----so let the planning begin.
Hit me with builders that have designs suitable for acreages - I'm after a house that's long to take up most of the width of the block
I've seen Omeo from Simonds which would work...now after more suggestions
thanks

Hi there, I think we may potentially be neighbours - we also signed up for a 1 acre block in Bunyip late last year 😊. We are going to build a custom design, have you settled on a house design yet?

Hi ljrt (i'm the original poster - just new user name) we may neighbours...we've bought in Rangeview acres. plan we've decided on was SJD Rutherford. Now if only the blocks would settle so I can build!

Us too! So frustrating, was hoping they'd be well under way by now

Have you gotten an updated date for titles? I was told late jan/ feb a few months back

ljrt · Aug 18, 2016 11:08 am

No, we were also told Feb a little while back but with nothing happening up there I can't see that being a reality!

Hmmm agree...nothing done there forva while now

Kathjax · Nov 03, 2016 7:01 am

A year since we signed contracts....and nothing..no word from developers and no closer to titles grrr

It's so frustrating isn't it? So glad we didn't rush into selling our current place

Kathjax · Nov 04, 2016 12:17 pm

I wish we were in the same boat...sold and now renting
We needed to move anyway the new neighbours were giving me anxiety ?

ljrt · Nov 04, 2016 12:20 pm

We're completely indecisive now about when to sell! We'd like to sell while the weather's good but also don't want to rent longer than necessary..

Kathjax · Nov 18, 2016 10:10 am

Titles are now june!

ljrt · Nov 18, 2016 2:55 pm

Yes we have heard the same Kathjax! Fingers crossed...

Kathjax · Nov 18, 2016 3:31 pm

Construction should start again 21st November..will watch and wait
Frustrating but at least we'll be ready to go when titles are released

ljrt · Nov 18, 2016 3:34 pm

Same here, will get my butt into gear with our working drawings once I see something happening on site! Are you all ready to go with SJD?

Kathjax · Nov 18, 2016 4:47 pm

.I'm not in a hurry (obviously 😊) so been sitting on draft plans for a month now..will get going soon so we can do colours etc early next year

Kathjax · Feb 17, 2017 9:18 am

A letter from developers with more delays ...hopefully they get going soon...

Kathjax · Feb 20, 2018 2:01 pm

its been over a year since my last update - and we're still waiting....
didn't think I was this patient but I've surprised myself
itching for blocks to be finished a titled - in the meantime we've gone and done some colour selection with SJD Homes and will have a contract price soon

kathjax we are also thinking to build with SJD. Can you please share how was your overall experience? Who was your site supervisor and how he handled everything?
