Building your dream home in Ocean Grove is both exciting and daunting. It’s a time-consuming process where you have a lot to consider and navigate – especially when you are building your first home. For first-time homeowners, choosing a home from house and land packages in Ocean Grove can be an easier and most cost-effective way of making it a reality.
What to look for in a house and land package in Ocean Grove
Here is a brief checklist of what you should consider when choosing a house and land package in Ocean Grove.
Choose your home first
You might think that you have to find a block of land first before you start building. However, at Hamlan, we suggest you choose your floor plan first. Why?
You don’t want to be lured into buying a block of land to realise that it’s actually very limited in what can be built on it. Or that the orientation of the block means you can’t build the house you really want on it. 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 Hamlan new home consultants help you in your search.
Our new home consultants are friendly and knowledgeable and can easily tell you if a block will suit the home you want. And if the block you’re looking at doesn’t suit the home you want, our new home consultants can find you the block that has the right orientation for that design.
Settle on a location
Choosing your desired location is the next step in your home-building journey.
Ocean Grove on the Bellarine Peninsula is a well-liked spot for beach enthusiasts due to its wide beaches, wineries, and the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve. Its relaxed coastal ambience, the array of amenities, and proximity to Geelong render Ocean Grove an ideal choice not just for holidays but also for owning a new house and land.
Hamlan can help potential homebuyers secure premium land for sale in Kingston Coast, an established community in the centre of the Bellarine Peninsula—surrounded by amenities such as shopping areas, parks, schools, medical facilities, and beaches stretching from Barwon Heads to Point Lonsdale.
Residents of Kingston Coast are also just moments away from the Ocean Grove public library, the Bellarine Aquatic & Sports Centre, and the Ocean Grove Golf Course.
For those who prefer being within walking distance and in between Buckley Park Foreshore Reserve and Ocean Grove Beach or the Barwon Riverfront, the Ocean Grove Golf Course, and Blue Water Lake Reserve and playground, Hamlan’s experienced team will provide you with support in purchasing a block at Sunset Strip and Newcomb St and will put you in touch with the land sales agent to purchase your desired block.
Once you have determined your ideal location in Ocean Grove, find a reputable builder in the area with a package that fits your lifestyle. Every estate and builder will differ slightly in what they offer; some might provide additional extras or include appliances.
Hamlan brings you stylish, award-winning home and land packages suitable for a range of lifestyles.
Research your potential Ocean Grove home builder
Before settling for a land package, ensure you are comfortable and trust your builder. Ask for references and read online reviews from previous clients. Does the builder have the correct building licences and insurance in place? A professional builder will also support you through the planning process of your build organising permits and will ensure the proposed home design meets your needs and expectations.
