Build your dream country home on the city doorstep

This 2.59 acre vacant allotment is a rare find, offering the best of country living just a short drive from the heart of the regional city of Mackay. Imagine building your dream home in this peaceful green oasis, where there’s plenty of room for the kids to roam and for anything else your heart desires – a swimming pool, shed, studio or workshop, veggie patch, chicken coop – the choice is yours.

One of the largest blocks of its kind this close to the city, this prime land is located in the small rural village of Homebush. Part of an established cane farming district, Homebush is just 25 minutes drive from the city. School drop offs will be a breeze with Homebush State School just 300m away and in nearby Eton village there’s a general store and post office. Homebush is also known for its classic country pub, the General Gordon Hotel.

Access to the property at Lot 1 Stevens Drive is via a 3m easement opening up to 10m wide beyond the cane rail tracks, allowing room for standard truck access during construction. Set well back from the road, you’ll enjoy peace and privacy in your own idyllic piece of beautiful north Queensland.

Save a life time of energy bills and live off grid or connect the property to the electricity network, the choice is yours. With the recent announcement of the Queensland Government’s $5,000 regional home building boost grant and the HomeBuilder Grant of $25,000 now is a great time to build a new home and offset some of those costs. For first home owners/builders, the timing could not be better with not only the First Home Owner Grant but also the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme which will reduce the amount of deposit required. Thank you Government! These grants all have certain criteria and eligibility to meet, check out the links to see if you may qualify.
