In the beginning....

So we have bought a block of land- yay!


To give you the short story we decided Pakenham was the right option for us:
- The land is affordable
- There is a great variety of land and builders to choose from
- It would take a similar time to visit us from Geelong/Melbourne
- Can afford to buy it and have a family in the next decade!
- We would get a brand new house
- We wouldn't be living in someone elses yard or dealing with Builders Corp issues


So yes! After hunting around we found our small corner block in Stage 3 (407m) in Worthington Estate. The estate is close to shops an just off Princes Hwy - perfect for getting to work! Also there is going to be a primary school within the estate - very handy!


I wanted to create this blog to be able to track the progress of our build and share the 'story' with family and friends.


We went to visit our block on the 2nd of April. Our block is in stage 3 and they were only completing stage 2 at the time. Stage One has already been titled and settled and a couple of Display Homes had started being built and car parks were ready. Stage Two  had been cleared, roads were not sealed yet, no trees planted but all lot signs were up on the properties. Stage Three has had nothing done yet - still has rubbish form stage one and two demolitions on it. We could vaguely guess that our block was on the other side of the fence - a paddock at this stage!



Stage 3 - partially cleared
Stage 2 - not quite titled

Stage 3 - not much to look at yet!
