Geelong Homes House and Land Packages
So picture this: your dream home in your ideal location and for the right price, all presented in one neat package. This may sound too good to be true, but this is exactly what a home and land package is about.
Home and Land packages are a serving suggestion of what it would cost to build a home in a particular estate. The beauty of a house and land package is that there is the flexibility to change the home or select another block that may be more suitable.
Buying a home and land package offers a convenient and cost-effective solution that can reduce stress from building a home or renovating an older property.
Cost Benefits: One advantage of house and land packages is that the finished price is typically disclosed upfront. This can provide cost transparency and help you plan your budget effectively.
Additionally:
- When building a new home, you only pay stamp duty on the value of the land component, not the house.
If you’re a first-home buyer, new homes built in regional Victoria and valued up to $750,000 can get a First Home Owners Grant of $20,000. - If you’re looking at the property as an investment, a depreciation schedule can be put in place and will provide returns come tax time. New homes also appeal to tenants.
- Two contracts are involved when purchasing a home and land package, one with the developer for the land and the other with the builder. However, you can bundle the finances in one construction loan to avoid having separate loans.

Flexibility: Building your home allows you to customise it to your liking, ensuring it meets your preferences and needs. While house and land packages are essentially samples of design options suitable for the block of land you have chosen, you can work with our sales consultants to make modifications or find the right home design that aligns with your vision.
Location: Building your own home allows you to choose the perfect block in a location that suits your family, professional, and social life, whether it’s in close proximity to schools or just a short drive to the city. Do you have a dream neighbourhood or region? If you have a specific place where you want to live, a house and land package can allow you to build in that area if suitable land is available.
Quality: Everything is brand new! There’s no wear and tear, no maintenance and best of all, you’ve had your very own hand in choosing its fittings and finishes at the standard you want.
Ease: If you have a clear idea of where you want to live and what type of home you like, simply building a new home can simplify your home-buying process. If you’re looking to buy land in a new development, packages can help you navigate the building experience by clearly showing you the options.
Read our guide to house and land packages.
House and land packages aren’t necessarily cheaper than building a home separately, their real value lies in clarity and confidence, particularly for first‑home buyers or those who haven’t built before.
House and land packages are designed to help you better understand the total cost of building on a specific block of land. By combining a home design with a particular block, they provide a realistic, upfront indication of pricing for different home sizes, layouts, and styles, helping you compare options more easily during your research.
For many buyers, especially those new to building, house and land packages are a helpful starting point. They remove some of the uncertainty by clearly showing how factors such as site costs, design choices, and land characteristics can influence the overall build price.
At Geelong Homes, our house and land packages are created to inform and guide, not to limit your options. They can be adjusted to suit your needs, or used as a reference point while you explore other designs or blocks.
At Geelong Homes, we only require a deposit of just $2000 to get you on your way. Your deposit secures the current pricing of your home and any relevant promotional offers.
You might assume that finding a suitable block of land should be your first step in the building process. However, we recommend starting with your floor plan selection here at Geelong Homes.
You and your new home consultant will explore floor plans until you find the perfect layout that fits your needs and lifestyle. You don’t want to be lured into buying a cheap block of land to realise its orientation or size is very limited in what can be built on it.
Finding suitable land for our clients is part of our service. If you know which house you want and prefer a specific estate or area, allow our new home consultants to assist you. We don’t own the land but present you with available blocks that complement our designs, providing flexibility to adjust the home component of your package.
Have you got land? Here is what’s next.
Once you’ve selected your perfect block and chosen your home design, your dedicated new home consultant will provide you with a cost proposal for building your new home. This proposal will include additional requirements and an allowance for your site costs. With your pre-approved budget, you can explore our Geelong house packages that align with your financial situation.
If you accept this proposal, you can move on to the next step! Once all changes to the floor plan have been incorporated, our drafting team will produce your final working drawings.
You also get the chance to personalise the look and feel of your new home, the way YOU want it with our interior designer.
Once everything is in order, we will send you an electronic copy of your contract to review and sign. These documents are then handed over to our construction team, signalling the commencement of your building project.
Once your home is complete, your site manager will meet you at your new address, guide you through your new house, and present you with your keys.
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a brand-new Geelong Homes property. It’s time to move in and make it your own!
