Its amazing and would look wonderful on our 11 acre property, i dont want to be rude, but are you able to give a ball park on the initial cost, without your site costs and changes? Re: GJ Gardner Montville- First home build- QLD 36Oct 28, 2018 10:13 am Hi eirrac Thanks for your post. Great food for thought. We are pretty set on the Monteville, all very helpful. Thanks Grant eirrac So we have made some modifications regarding internal colour scheme. We had original planned to have the internal walls painted white exchange half with skirting etc painted plan white with plans to do feature walls later ourselves. We subsequently found out that the cost of feature was was so much cheaper than we thought! and the cost to change to that would be cheaper than us even supplying the paint let alone our terrible painting skills so we have decided to let the experts go ahead and do some feature walls for us . The colours we have chosen basically is a carbon copy of a GJ display home that I looked up online. We didnt visit the display as its miles from where we live so I am hoping that the internal photos/walk through is accurate. We are going with Dulux white exchange half for most internal walls with feature walls comprising Dulux Namadji and Dulux Ashlite. Here is a link to the display home with these as their feature walls. http://www.gjgardner.com.au/tweed-heads ... 0-495.aspx Re: GJ Gardner Montville- First home build- QLD 37Oct 28, 2018 6:26 pm seechange youngone Hi, Just foundthebeautiful Montville design. Its amazing and would look wonderful on our 11 acre property, i dont want to be rude, but are you able to give a ball park on the initial cost, without your site costs and changes? Base price with the Manor facade, largest floor plan was about $525k. No flooring (other than wet areas), no heating or cooling, no lights (just the baton fitting), VERY basic kitchen, and not a high grade of inclusions (tiles, vanities, handles, doors etc). So will definitely be extra costs. We are STILL waiting for the estimate but expect our uplifts to be around $150k Good luck with the build! Hi seachange wondering how you place is going? I was wondering what floor plan you had? Its strange how everyones prices vary. we ended up paying about 498 total but we provided our own applicances and that was with upgrades to floor to ceiling tiles in the main bath as well as overhead cupboards in the butlers pantry and bulk heads. we also upgraded the doors including the front door and had them do all the flooring throughout the house and outside and also included septic tank and water tank. We did get rid of the bar. I also have a feeling we might have got a good deal cause the sales person needed to make a sale? who knows.

Hi Youngone, An 11 acre property sounds awesome, I hope you have great views to go with it, I'm very jealous. The base price really depends on what part of Australia you are located, as the base price it seems varies from state to state. It can start as low as 450K up to 550K (without site costs). Also, depending on what size Montville you wish to choose and how you finish it (that is what inclusions you decide to add on) will obviously influence the final cost, so can be up to another $50-100K. For us, we are close to signing on, all floor plans sorted, doing the colour consult in the next fortnight, then hopefully it all works out. It's been a long process for us Good luck with it all Thanks SBG, We are also considering a mcdonald jones acreage style, have quotes incl site costs on that, and the prices seem similar to that you have mentioned. We are in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Our 11 acres have a view v similar to those you see in the walk through of the Montville design Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Good luck on your build too.
