Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who's Bought Land - Akora Box Hill 13Mar 22, 2016 5:20 pm Quote: We like the idea of the butler pantry too, thanks for the tip! I think depending on price of course. I really like the designs you selected too, both are really nice. If you want my opinion, I like the second facade version. Both look really modern though. Your house looks lovely Will! The Ponds house. And WOW at the price! That is an amazing win for you, I bet that price when you bought it you would have bitten someone's leg if it was 100k less than that And all good regarding the parties, I think you have just called yourself into being the resident host for the NYE parties lol. Let's try to get more people, surely there are many others who just don't know where to discuss their recent Akora purchase. Facebook would be a great start so let's really get that going. Hey Michael. No worries at all. Will keep you posted when we sit down with Allcastle and discuss prices. It will all come down to budget with the facade in the end. I know the 2nd facade is cheaper to build, but the large balcony appeals to me on the first design. Decisions decisions! lol. I do like the second facade as well. Cheers mate. Lots of love and hard work when into the house. We love it as it was out first house that we built and will miss it a lot. We only paid $300k for the 500sqm land and $220k for the house including site costs etc. Pool and landscaping weren't cheap or easy to do - but all worth it. I think if we had sold last year, we would have made more, but we ended up with a good price in the end. Now the clock is ticking as we have to be out on 14th April. I have been applying for rentals and we saw one in McGraths Hill that we liked. Best part is it is just down the road from Akora =) Hahaha yes my neighbor pretty much relied on me to set things up for our little street parties. It's a great way to have a good friendship with people in the street and I'm sure it will be an interesting mix of people too. I have made you an admin on the FB page too. Always easier to have 2 admins. I agree, we need more people. It's going to be slow for a while as many people have bought land, but aren't searching for groups yet. Let's face it, it's just farm land now haha. Still, our numbers will grow over time. The Ponds group only had 2 members and now has about 3,000. I started it from scratch and it's crazy busy now. Talk soon =) Re: Who's Bought Land - Akora Box Hill 14Jul 13, 2016 9:28 pm Hi will81 & micdeez I just came across your forum now My husband and I have secured a lot in Akora estate also and we're building with Rawson Homes Re: Who's Bought Land - Akora Box Hill 15Nov 29, 2016 1:16 pm Huntley In The Hills Hi will81 & micdeez I just came across your forum now My husband and I have secured a lot in Akora estate also and we're building with Rawson Homes Hey Huntley in the Hills. Congrats! What design did you choose from Rawson if you don't mind me asking? We are still looking! Have you driven past it too? They've started the civil works, albeit not a huge amount done.
