I've decided to create this blog to document our upcoming building journey.
The story so far...
After searching for established houses for nearly a year, we found this 1/2 acre riverfront block and decided to build our dream home. The block has about 1000 square metre building envelope, with the rest sloping down to the river.
We paid the deposit on 11.11.13 with settlement due at the end of January, 2014.
Our current house went on the market and sold the same day (within 2 hours in fact!!) We were thrilled to have that done and dusted so quickly. We are lucky enough to be able to live with my parents while we build. They have a big place and we will have our own space. This will allow us to save for all the 'extras' we want... (triple garage for the husband and fireplaces for me).
We have our eye on Rawson (Benham 30 but expanded to 36 squares). We are at the very early stages with them but are very happy with the initial impression. We'll still have a look around at other builders while we wait for settlement.
We have to be out of our place by January 10th, so lots of packing to do. We have been very happy here for 14 years and it is quite emotional to be leaving our beautiful friends and neighbours.
