Land in rural areas is usually cheaper than in the suburbs or the city, and if you buy in a more distant neighbourhood, you will have more money in your pocket to spend on home building.
In rural areas, the design of the home is also not as limited. Unlike inner-city councils, there are fewer rules about the fences or facades and even the colour of the roof.
Living in rural areas gives you more freedom and brings fresher air, open spaces, wonderful views, and no traffic jams or noise. In addition, most small towns have a great sense of community, the local stores, post offices, sports clubs have a more rural feel, and everyone knows each other like in the movies.
It's also a great opportunity to grow fresh fruits and vegetables at home or raise a flock of free-range chickens. In addition, you can have room for boats, trailers or even a pony; the list goes on only limited by your imagination. Another plus side to living on acreage is with them constantly expanding city limits; your property will most definitely increase in value.
High ceilings and raked ceilings set off by highlight windows and even a stunning Velux Skylight or two can help to create that beautiful natural light that makes an open plan home the perfect design. Imagine walking out onto your porch, coffee in hand, admiring the native flora and fauna that surrounds you. Acreage living is truly a lifestyle in itself. With postcard views and space to stretch your legs, you’ll feel inspired to take up new hobbies that perhaps weren’t possible with city living.
You don't have to give up city living altogether. In fact, many acreages properties are close to plenty of stores, schools and cafes. In addition, most major areas are accessible by freeway, so you can spend the day immersed in the hustle and bustle of the city or relaxing in the country air - the choice is entirely yours.
Integrity New Homes Genesis Series and Barrington range of house plans are just two examples of a good-sized rural home that suits a wide block. The Grand Series has been built many times over the years and has evolved into a truly functional but simple design that won't break the budget. Instead, you can enjoy a modern and stylish build surrounded by natural bushland, lush trees, rolling hills and a spectacular view – it really is as good as you can get!
