How do house and land packages work?

  • House and land packages are becoming an increasingly popular option for those entering the Australian property market, especially first-home buyers and families looking for a tailor-made solution. With a blend of convenience, cost-savings, and customisation, this is an excellent step to owning your dream home. Read on below to understand what to know when buying a house and land package.
 

WHAT IS A HOUSE AND LAND PACKAGE?

  • A house and land package is the purchase of land paired with a new home build. The process is straightforward - you choose a plot of land in a new community like Arramont, and select a house design from a range of options provided by one of Australia's leading builders.
 

BENEFITS OF HOUSE AND LAND PACKAGES

  • SIMPLE PROCESS: For most, the prospect of building a house can seem daunting, and with many decisions and processes, this can be overwhelming. House and land packages streamline this process by combining the key steps into one easy transaction. This approach simplifies the decision-making cycle and paperwork, reducing stress for the buyer.
  • CUSTOMISATION AND CHOICE: Flexibility is at the heart of purchasing a house and land package. They allow buyers to select a design from carefully selected builders that can suit your lifestyle and preferences in a range of contemporary and award-winning home designs. Whether it's an additional spare bedroom or a secondary living space, there's a design to meet your needs. These home-building packages can be catered to fit different budgets and tastes. Homeowners have the freedom to select the level of luxury for their new home, ranging from standard designs to more opulent choices.
  • NEW COMMUNITY LIFESTYLE: Purchasing these packages often means buying into a brand-new or developing community. Wollert, located 25 km from Melbourne's CBD, offers the best of both worlds, the excitement of modern living combined with the benefits of established amenities. Arramont sits just 12 minutes from Craigieburn Station and is conveniently close to major shopping centers like Westfield South Morang and Pacific Epping Plaza. With excellent road connections and a vibrant, growing community, Wollert provides an ideal setting for new homeowners and young families to enjoy a thriving suburb.
  • COST-EFFECTIVE OWNERSHIP: Financially, these packages can prove to be more economical than separately purchasing land and building a house. They offer a single, fixed price for both, which can help you avoid unexpected costs and budget overruns. Additionally, there might be financial incentives or savings available, such as reduced stamp duty or favourable financing options, which are especially beneficial for first-time homeowners. Find offers at Arramont here.
  • FIXED-PRICE PEACE OF MIND: Cost certainty is another benefit of opting for these packages. Buyers typically sign a fixed-price contract with the builder, ensuring that the agreed-upon price at the beginning is what you’ll pay at the end, avoiding any surprise expenses that often come with construction projects.
  • STREAMLINED PROCESS MANAGED BY BUILDERS: Builders overseeing these projects can provide comprehensive management services, including dealing with construction permits, hiring contractors, and supervising the build. This turnkey solution leaves the homeowner free from the day-to-day concerns of the building process.
 

ARE HOUSE AND LAND PACKAGES WORTH IT? 

  • Buying land and building a home in one package is particularly appealing to individuals stepping onto the property ladder for the first time as well as families seeking a new home. 
  • Since these packages provide predictability in pricing and a new community atmosphere, they are a fitting choice for those who value a fresh start without the complexities of traditional home building or buying processes.
  • At Arramont, house and land packages are available from as little as $659,800, providing an affordable entry into a vibrant and growing community.
  • Experience a harmonious lifestyle at Arramont, where lush greenspaces seamlessly merge nature's tranquillity with modern living. 
 

ARE YOU READY TO PURCHASE A HOUSE AND LAND PACKAGE?

  • House and land packages enable many to fulfil their dream of homeownership with lesser hassle and often cost-savings.
  • For a wide range of housing options within a suburb with a wealth of features and amenities consider exploring what Arramont has on offer. Explore the array of retail options, schools, and well-established infrastructure in the vicinity of Arramont. Find out more here.

Wollert, an investment in the North

As Melbourne continues to expand, buyers are looking beyond the traditional inner suburbs and discovering the lifestyle and value on offer in the city’s outer north. Among the standouts is Wollert, a suburb that’s quietly building a reputation for delivering modern homes, strong community connections, and long-term growth potential. Melbourne’s northern corridor includes many established, popular hubs like Epping, Craigieburn, and South Morang, which have all experienced consistent population growth over the past decade. Infrastructure investment, transport upgrades, schooling, shopping centres, and parklands have transformed the area into a genuine destination where families can set up their lives. Wollert sits strategically within this growth corridor. While neighbouring suburbs are more established and becoming more expensive, Wollert still offers buyers the opportunity to secure land and build brand new homes at comparatively accessible price points. It’s the sweet spot between affordability and opportunity in a fantastic location.

Building Modern Homes That Will Last The Test of Time

One of Wollert’s biggest advantages is the ability to build brand new. In many inner suburbs of Melbourne, buyers often face older homes requiring renovation and strict planning overlays. Entry prices can be significantly higher and that’s before factoring in renovation costs. In Arramont Wollert, buyers can design homes suited to modern family living, maximise energy efficiency and sustainability and avoid costly structural renovations.

A Genuine Community Feel

Wollert is proving most new suburbs wrong, with the area already building its own personality. Master-planned communities, new schools, childcare centres, parks, walking trails, and local retail precincts are being designed with connection in mind. Families move in at similar life stages, creating a strong sense of shared growth. Compared to more established northern suburbs, where communities are already formed and housing stock varies widely in age and style, Wollert offers a cohesive neighbourhood feel. Streets are fresh, amenities are modern, and residents are invested in building a future together. That community energy matters, particularly for young families and first-home buyers.

The Affordability Advantage

When comparing Wollert to the inner suburbs of Melbourne, the entry price difference can be significant. Inner areas often command a premium simply due to proximity to the CBD. Wollert, allows buyers to:
  • - Enter the property market sooner
  • - Build a free standing home
  • - Get the backyard they’ve always wanted
  • - Allocate budget toward upgrades rather than location premiums
For many buyers, this makes home ownership achievable and not just aspirational. And while prices in neighbouring northern suburbs have steadily climbed as they mature and become more of a hot spot, Wollert still presents relative value within the corridor.

What About Rising Interest Rates?

Interest rates have risen in recent years, prompting many buyers to pause and reconsider their timeline. It’s a fair question: is now the right time to buy land and build? While higher rates affect borrowing capacity, they can also create opportunity:
  • - Reduced competition compared to peak-market conditions
  • - Builders offering competitive packages and incentives
  • - The ability to secure land before further infrastructure growth pushes prices higher
Property remains a long-term asset. For buyers focused on lifestyle, stability, and future growth rather than short-term market fluctuations, suburbs like Wollert offer a compelling case. You’re not just buying a house, you’re investing in an emerging community with room to grow.

The Best of Both Worlds

Wollert represents a balance many buyers are searching for. Affordability, modern homes, community atmosphere, and long-term growth potential. For those weighing up inner suburb convenience against outer suburb value, Wollert presents a practical middle ground, offering home ownership, lifestyle, and future opportunity in one package.Speak to the Arramont team today on 0425 741 891 and at arramont@rpmgrp.com.au for more information on buying land in Wollert.

Front Lot Landscaping

We’re so excited for you to start planning your front lot landscaping, the final touch to your brand new home that will bring it all together and turn your house into a home! There are a few things you can keep in mind that will help you on the journey to creating your very own front yard oasis. It’s about creating curb appeal, and allowing your new home to stand out. Your front lot space may be small, but it has so much potential and there are a number of ways you can make the most out of it. So, where do you start? Here are our top tips to designing a front garden that is not only practical, but looks great all year round.

Keep it low maintenance

A low maintenance garden is always the way to go, unless you’re an avid gardener. Choose durable, low-effort plants that take care of themselves. Opt for perennials that return each year without the need for constant replanting or fussing. Hardy shrubs, succulents, and ground covers are your best friends, delivering greenery and texture with minimal work. Lawns look great, but they can be thirsty and time-consuming. Instead, think about:
  • Gravel or stone pathways
  • Mulch or bark chips to suppress weeds
  • Concrete or stone pavers to break up garden beds
  • Dense ground covers for lushness without mowing
  • These alternatives add visual appeal, structure, and practicality all with much less upkeep.

Lean Into Australian Natives

Australian natives are perfectly adapted to our hot, dry summers, making them a smart choice for long-term sustainability. Natives are a great investment as they require far less water, thrive in our soils, offer incredible textures and colours, and attract beneficial wildlife such as birds, bees and butterflies, Some great options are kangaroo paws, grevilleas, banksias, lilly pillies, or coastal rosemary. Not sure what to plant? Your local garden nursery will be able to give you great recommendations.

Install a Sprinkler or Irrigation System

Watering can be one of the biggest chores in garden care. An automated sprinkler or drip irrigation system ensures your plants get consistent moisture without relying on the hose. Benefits of an automated system are reduced water waste, keeps plants thriving through peak summer heat, maintains the garden while you are away, and saves hours of manual watering. Set it on a timer, adjust seasonally, and let it do the work for you.

Add Evergreens for year round greenery

Evergreen plants are the backbone of a landscape design. They are rich in colour throughout every season, add natural screening for privacy, shade and protect from sunlight and create height and shape variants against your home facade. Murraya, photinia, viburnum, and lilly pilly varieties are popular choices that pair beautifully with natives.

Create a Standout Garden Feature

A well-chosen garden feature adds personality to your entrance. A sculptural piece, bird bath, bench seat or oversized and colourful pot plants are all easy additions to a front garden. They create a centre piece for you to design your shrubs around.

Don’t Forget Lighting

Outdoor lighting transforms your landscaping at night and boosts security, a little lighting can go a long way in helping showcase your garden. Use pathway lights, uplights to highlight trees or architectural features, and warm festoon or LED strip lighting for ambience. If you’re not wanting to spend a fortune, check out solar powered lights as these are a cheaper alternative and are also cost effective.

Use Mulch Wisely

Mulch isn’t just practical, it improves the whole look of your garden beds and has many benefits such as:
  • Reduces soil moisture loss
  • Prevents weeds
  • Keeps soil temperatures stable
  • Gives a polished, tidy finish
Choose a mulch colour that complements your plants and facade.

Bringing It All Together

Front yard landscaping doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. With smart plant choices and a practical layout, you can create a front yard that beautifully completes your new home. Chat to neighbours who have already established their front landscaping, as they can also recommend plants that they have found flourish in the soil where you have built your new home.
