Why should you consider house and land in Donnybrook?

As you might be able to tell from its name, Donnybrook has a proud Irish/Australian history. That history includes being less than 10kms from Ned Kelly’s childhood home. It’s not too much of a stretch to think that Ned and his brothers once roamed the hills and paddocks that make up modern-day Donnybrook. And the surrounding hills and paddocks are part of what makes Donnybrook house and land packages so attractive. Less than 50 minutes form the Melbourne CBD, Donnybrook is on the edge of the rolling hills of Central Victoria. The nearby Kinglake National Park features some of the most magnificent bushland in the state, perfect for the regular weekend getaway or school holiday vacation. Donnybrook is also close to other thriving growth suburbs, such as Craigieburn, meaning schools, sporting grounds, restaurants, quality shopping and plenty of employment opportunities are close by. With access to the Hume Freeway, driving is a breeze, and with a V/Line station, and the nearby popular park and ride Metro station at Broadmeadows, getting wherever you want to go is simple. It’s easy to see why Donnybrook is such a popular growth suburb, and why Metricon has more than 200 house and land packages ready for you to discover. And don't forget, we also offer a lifetime structural guarantee*, so you can purchase with confidence knowing our homes are built to last.

What you need to know about house and land packages?

Buying a house and land package means you can have the house you want on a block of land that suits. Buying a home built for someone else’s family usually means you have to compromise, perhaps going into the purchase immediately with renovation ideas. Building a home means you can have a house built for your family’s needs today, and one that can grow with you. And house and land packages mean you don’t have to worry about fitting the house you want on the land you already have. Blocks of land also come in various sizes, allowing you to pick the right block for you, as well as the right home. Flexibility is also something Metricon values highly, with a wide range of facades, floorplans, features and fixtures, giving you the opportunity to put your own stamp on your dream home.

Do stamp duty exemptions apply to house and land packages?

Buying a house and land package is one of the cheapest ways to buy a home in Australia. Part of that is down to the different way stamp duty is calculated. Stamp duty is a tax on a transaction, and is imposed by state and territory governments. As a result, the amount of stamp duty you pay, and whether or not you attract any concessions or exemptions, can vary depending on which state you live in, or where you are buying the home. As well as property purchases, stamp duty can also be payable on transactions such as car registrations and sales, insurance policies and hire agreements. If you are buying a house and land package in Victoria, you only pay stamp duty on the value of the land, not the house. This can save you a lot of money. If you are a first home buyer, or you're buying a house and land package to live in, not as an investment, you might also be eligible for any stamp duty exemptions or concessions.

Are there affordable options available?

Affordability is important to anyone buying a home, and being able to escape the clutches of auctioneers can be an important reason to buy a house and land package. Our HomeSolution range is designed to help you get off the rental treadmill and into your own home. These low-deposit homes have a range of options that can suit families of all sizes. Our Freedom range is all about giving you more home for less. At Metricon, affordability doesn’t have to mean compromise. By choosing a HomeSolution or Freedom home, you will still have access to a large range of award-winning home designs, floorplans, features and fixtures.
