If you and your family are considering a tree change and want to upsize, an acreage home might be on your radar. At Kurmond Homes, we’ve seen first-hand how transformative acreage home designs can be for families. But can you be sure that this lifestyle suits your needs?
In this blog, we explore the most popular features and benefits of acreage living. We also share essential questions to ask your potential builder so you can be confident this move is perfect for you and your family.
What’s to Love About an Acreage Lifestyle
If you want a home that delivers the following, acreage living is for you.
Space and privacy
Large acreage homes are set on generous blocks of land and are typically located in rural areas or on Sydney’s outskirts. Such a location affords excellent privacy and an abundance of space. Indeed, Kurmond acreage homes can be up to 66m2. Leave the rat race, congestion, road rage, nosey neighbours, and sardine-living behind. Now you can breathe…
Investment potential
Having all that spacious living and surrounding space means you don’t risk any build-up or developments. Moreover, we all know that land is a finite resource. For these reasons, a home with acreage can be a strong investment opportunity. Not that you will ever want to leave!
Sustainable living
If becoming more self-sustainable or living a greener life is important to you, contemporary modern acreage homes will be very attractive. Enjoy the space to grow your own vegetables, fruits and herbs, house a rainwater tank, or install solar panels.
Improved health and lifestyle
Many Kurmond Homes clients talk about instant physical and mental health improvements when they move to bigger, more open, extra space and generous open-plan living. The benefits of being closer to nature, having room to breathe, and moving about more freely cannot be overestimated.
Tight-knit community
Outer suburban and semi-rural areas in Australia are renowned for their community support and relaxed, welcoming environments. People with homes and acreage are often like-minded and share similar ideals about living in more open spaces away from the hustle and bustle.
