Does a house and land package in Lara Lakes Estate sound like what you’re looking for?
A house and land package simplifies the process of finding a home. These packages offer a catalogue of houses and floorplans to choose from, making it easy to envision your dream home in your ideal location at the right price.
Our house and land packages provide flexibility to change the home design or select another block that may be more suitable. This convenience allows for a streamlined process from selection to construction.
How to buy a Lara house and land
You might think that you have to find a block of land first before you start building. However, at Geelong Homes, we suggest you choose your floorplan first.
This ensures the land suits your desired home design and avoids limitations related to block orientation or building restrictions.
Seeking out the land for our clients is part of our service, so if you know which home you want and you’re sure of what estate or area you want to live in, then let the Geelong Homes’ new home consultants help you in your search.
Once we’ve received enough details on your new home, we can start seeking information on your block of land to determine site costs. Your initial $2000 deposit allows us to perform a soil test, survey the land and produce your preliminary plans.
While Geelong Homes doesn’t own the land, we showcase available blocks that fit our designs, offering flexibility in your home choice.
We have excellent relationships with the land sales teams at various estates across the Geelong and Surf Coast region and we also understand the different requirements and deposits required for each estate.
So once you’ve chosen your ideal home and land package, you can feel assured that our new home consultants will guide you all the way through till construction begins.
