Acreage Home Designs & Plans

The Benefits of Building on Acreage with Eden Brae

High property costs and the shift to remote and hybrid working, have helped make rural and acreage homes an attractive and rewarding choice for couples and families looking to stretch their legs and their budgets further. Acreage land isn’t just designated to regional and remote towns, you’ll also find opportunities to purchase picturesque acreage in spacious suburbs on the outskirts of cities. Whether you want to design your dream home or live a laid back lifestyle, there are plenty of benefits that come from building your new home on acreage.

Size and spaciousness
In Sydney, the average family home design is built on block sizes that are less than 500 square metres. To be classed as acreage, land must be at least one acre - roughly the equivalent of over 4,000 square metres, giving you plenty of space to bring your perfect home to life! This amount of land could give you the space to include generous alfresco areas to entertain, create the perfect outdoor oasis, have plenty of yard for your children to run around, or whatever you wish to include that will best suit your needs.

Custom home designs
Acreage homes are a wonderful choice for families looking to expand, explore, and enjoy a more relaxed way of life. At Eden Brae, we can tailor your home to take full advantage of the ample space available to enhance your lifestyle. With our flexible and modern Lifestyle Series luxury acreage home designs, you could enjoy large open living spaces, expansive alfresco areas, zones for entertainment or work, and much more - all without the constraints you would have to endure if you were building on a smaller lot.

Enhanced privacy
Acreage home designs naturally provide your family with a greater degree of privacy. Most acreage homes are set further away from neighbours and noisy roads, giving you seclusion along with peace and quiet. Our team can work with you to design your home layout and landscaping, to maximise the space so everyone can relax in comfort.

Designed and built with nature in mind
All Eden Brae luxury acreage home designs give thought to the surrounding environment. We understand that you aren’t just wanting a home, you desire the peace and natural beauty that acreage properties often afford homeowners over smaller urban blocks. Our team will think strategically about where to place windows and outdoor living spaces, so you can get the most out of the scenery and natural landscape.

What is more important - land size or location?

When it comes to comparing a smaller block of land in a prime location to acreage in an area that might be less desirable, you may want to seek advice from a qualified and registered property valuer. There are a range of factors that these valuers will take into consideration when valuing a plot of land, including:
* most valuable use
* zoning
* restrictions or other constraints
* size, shape, and features
* location and views
* nearby development and infrastructure

At the end of the day, you should always do thorough research on the location, size and development potential of the land before you make a final purchase decision.
