<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>How to choose the right homesite for your build</strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
</div>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Building a new home is an exciting opportunity to create a place that feels entirely your own, shaped around the way your family lives today and hopes to live in the years ahead.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">That vision begins with the land beneath it. Choosing a homesite that complements your preferred home design, lifestyle and priorities can give your building journey a confident start.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Mirvac Sales Consultant Chris Reid shares the key factors to consider when choosing land at Kindira Monarch Glen.</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Chris helps buyers explore homesites at Kindira from the Mirvac Land Sales Centre. Here, an interactive 3D digital twin brings the community to life, allowing visitors to explore the masterplan, planned neighbourhoods and streetscapes, and view details for individual homesites.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Finding the right homesite allows all the other pieces of the puzzle to fall into place more easily. I always encourage people to think of land first, because it’s the foundation for a successful building journey,” says Chris.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">The Mirvac Land Sales Centre is in close proximity to the <a href="https://everleigh.mirvac.com/now-selling/display-village">Everleigh Display Village</a>, featuring home designs from eleven of South East Queensland’s top builders. Walking through the display homes can help you compare floorplans, room proportions and finishes, and better understand which features matter most to your family. Builder representatives can also explain how particular designs may suit different lot widths, depths and orientations.</p>

<h3 style="margin-left: 40px;">Start with size and shape</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Chris recommends securing a homesite before finalising a home design, as the block dimensions will determine which floorplans are the best fit. If you already have a preferred design, speak with the builder and the Mirvac sales team early to understand the frontage, depth and other site requirements it needs.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Look beyond the total area of the homesite and consider its usable dimensions. Frontage can influence the range of facades, garage configurations and floorplans available, while easements and required setbacks can affect where the home sits on the block,” says Chris. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“The homesite’s shape and levels should also be reviewed with your chosen builder so the design responds appropriately to the land.”</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Orientation is another important part of the conversation. The direction a homesite faces, the position of living areas and the placement of outdoor spaces can all influence how the home captures natural light and responds to the seasons. A builder can help assess these factors against the design you are considering.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Both your homesite and home design should work together to meet the needs of your family now and into the future,” says Chris.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Think about how much private outdoor space you want, how much maintenance suits your lifestyle and whether you need room for children, pets or entertaining. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Some families may prefer a more compact homesite and make greater use of nearby parks and recreation areas.” </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">At Kindira, most homes will be within 400 metres of open green space, with 10 neighbourhood parks, two district sports parks and a major sporting precinct planned alongside 400 hectares of conservation bushland and walking trails.</p>

<h3 style="margin-left: 40px;">Look beyond the boundary</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Choosing the right location to suit your lifestyle is one of the most important decisions you will make. You may be able to modify or upgrade your home over time, but you can’t change its location without moving,” says Chris.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Consider the places that shape your day-to-day routine, including schools, shops, parks, walking routes and sporting facilities, as well as how you expect those needs to change over time. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“It is also worth looking at where the homesite sits within the neighbourhood, its relationship to open space and the routes you are likely to use most often.”</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Kindira’s masterplan provides a clear picture of the community planned around each homesite. Schools, parks, playgrounds, sporting fields, walking trails and retail are incorporated into the broader vision, helping buyers understand how their neighbourhood is intended to grow. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">A mix of lot sizes, from smaller lots to traditional family homesites, also provides options for different households, home designs and lifestyles. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"> </p>
<h3 style="margin-left: 40px;">Consider a house and land package</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">A house and land package offers another way to buy, with a builder pairing a particular homesite with a compatible home design. This can simplify the early research by giving buyers a ready-made combination to assess, often with an indicative price covering both the home and land.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“When comparing packages, look closely at the floorplan, facade, inclusions and the location of the homesite,” advises Chris. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Ask the builder what can be personalised and confirm that the design suits the way your household wants to live. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Buyers who want greater flexibility may prefer to select a homesite first and then work with a builder on a suitable design.”</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"> </p>
<h3 style="margin-left: 40px;">Make an informed start</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Choosing a homesite becomes easier when you begin with a clear list of priorities. “Bring your preferred home designs, budget range and lifestyle requirements to the conversation, and note which features are essential and which are flexible,” says Chris. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">“Our Mirvac sales team can explain the available land, while your chosen builder can advise how a design will work with a specific homesite.”</p>
