Here are a few key things to consider when planning your build:
Maximise your surroundings – design to make the most of views, natural light, and outdoor living.

Think long-term – choose materials and features suited to the rural environment, built to withstand the elements and low-maintenance over time.
At Nixon Homes, we understand the unique demands of rural and lifestyle builds. We work with you to design and construct a home that’s perfectly suited to your land, your lifestyle, and your future – so you can enjoy the best of country living without compromise.
Does Nixon Homes have lifestyle sections available?
We don't own any lifestyle sections, however, we are happy to work with our clients to find a section that suits their vision!
What financial risks should I be aware of when building on a lifestyle block, and which costs might change during the project?
A lifestyle build will have a few extra variable costs including:
Earthworks
Piling (if needed)
Drainage (incl WW and W tanks)
Electrical mains cable
Typically no (or little) ground improvement has been made on lifestyle blocks before building. This means more costs required by the land owner when building
Often earthworks digouts can be much deeper and unexpected ground conditions are found on site by engineers which require more digging. Councils or electrical services companies can also charge for new connections.
Most of these risks can be fixed or reduced by doing a thorough design and engineering process.
