So, it all started as a dream....

That one day we'd build our own home.....

For years we've wandered through display homes, collected brochures and pretended that we were keen on building.

We had a few factors holding us back, a house that needed to finish being renovated and we were waiting for a nice block of land.

Well, our current home is a few weeks away from being finished, a renovation years in the making and finally, we found a block of land that met all of our requirements.

We wanted a leafy outlook, a wide frontage, and a block large enough for Archie to run around in.

Enter Stonecutters Ridge, a parcel of land we found by chance, a builder we like had a display home there...
So we drove into the estate, not knowing what to expect, we didn't even know it existed, apart from seeing the golf course as we drove by on the motorway.
There were parks, great sized blocks, a golf course (I guess it's never too late to learn... right?), a few amenities that looked promising, as well as a great community feel.

So we've finally exchanged contracts on a 555sq metre block of land, if all goes according to plan, the block should settle by December and we'll be on our way to building our new home in the new year.

Between now and then, we've got to finish our current house off....
Renovate a bathroom, finish the entertainment area, put new flooring down and a list of small jobs like paint touch ups, grouting and patching walls.

We think we've picked the home we'll build, but I'll keep that under wraps until we know for certain that it's the one!

Hopefully I'll have a few things to blog about between now and when we decide on a builder....
