How much did you pay? 483Oct 22, 2014 3:58 pm Paid $420k for 545m2 in Kellyville, land registered last month but contracts exchanged June 2013, has been a long wait! Re: Land. How much did you pay? 484Nov 22, 2014 6:34 pm CountryHome Woweee! Some of these prices are incredible. We paid a small percentage of what most ppl in here have paid for a 1000sqm block. I'm a bit embarrassed to say how cheap it was! Just goes to show it's location, location, location! (And that not many people want to or are able to live and work in small country towns!). I know exactly how you feel Country Home. We paid $98K for 1100m2 in rural vic. I'm over the moon we could get that much at that price, because we had no budget to be going much bigger/more expensive. Re: Land. How much did you pay? 487Feb 01, 2015 7:39 pm Congrats Booy...

You bought a suburb mate Many congrats, pretty sure it would be very exciting time for you guys. Re: Land.

Re: Land. How much did you pay? 491Feb 02, 2015 12:47 pm We paid $1044 per sqm last year in February. Land, of the same quality in the same area, is now selling for over $1500 per sqm. By quality, I am talking about the ability to use all of the land without major site costs. There's quite a number of weirdly shaped blocks for less as well as rocky and/or hilly land for less.. but for the kind of land we got, it's quite expensive now.. even back when we got it, it wasn't cheap.. but now it's ludicrously expensive.

Surely a typo or have you your own mini state My mistake, small typo, should be 34 hectares = 340,000m2. The land is not serviced though. A lot of work and cost to bring in services and to construct an access track. My nearest neighbour is about 1km from my build site. Hopefully this means that I will not have any of the issues that Bpratt is having with his neighbour. Re: Land.

A lot of work and cost to bring in services and to construct an access track. That's awesome. Just out of curiosity, what services are you going to bring in there? Are you building an off-grid setup from an electricity point of view, for one? Re: Land. How much did you pay? 496Feb 19, 2015 10:54 am $98,000 for a 918m2 block in old quinns rocks (approx 30kms north of Perth) with Ocean Views in Dec 1998. Still haven't built on it before the GFC bank valued it at $660,000 these days I reckon it's closer $480k <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Land.

It is a weak supply (32amp) so I have to minimise my electrical demand. There is a high voltage power line crossing the middle of my property but the cost for me to get a low voltage connection was excessive. Re: Land.

Less/more than 50k? What's the ballpark figure for having that done? I assume they'd have to build a transformer box on your land and all that stuff. What would be the cost to create a solar farm on your land?

I assume they'd have to build a transformer box on your land and all that stuff. When one requires an electricity supply outside a township i.e. for a bush block in a rural location (at least in SA), one must pay the full cost of provision of the electricity supply. I my case, even though high voltage power lines crossed my property, I would have had to pay for an extension of the high voltage line and a step down transformer. This cost was estimated to be about $30,000. Several of my neighbours are off-grid because their build sites were remote from suitable power lines. Their quotes were in the range of $70,000 to $100,000. An extension to a high voltage power line could cost $100,000 per km. This may be complicated by the need to get easements across other peoples properties. Some people may not like overhead power lines as it spoils their view. Undergrounding high voltage power lines could cost double or more. To go off grid means making changes to your lifestyle in so far as reducing peak electrical power demand. I.E. having a solar passive house, no or little air-conditioning nor electric heating and not having an all electric kitchen. Using a clothes line instead of electric dryer etc. Going off grid is probably best dealt with in the Eco forum. Re: Land.

The benefit is you can tender the project out… 9 20432 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed.
