Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Great results are possible
with smaller sections
Newer Rolleston subdivisions offering land sizes
upwards of 300 square metres are introducing an era of
denser living, and signalling the town is coming of age.
These more affordable smaller and medium sized
land packages are attracting a wave of first home buyers
to the town.
Currently, sections on the market are priced from
around $155,000 for 400sqm in the new Acland Park,
$165,000 for 500sqm in Goulds Estate and $175,000
for 447sqm in Faringdon, while Newman Park has a
starting price of $190,000 for 685sqm.
Before signing up, it is advisable for prospective
purchasers to determine developer requirements, in
terms of the design approval process and covenants
governing what can be constructed on a section;
checking if there are any design requirements or
dispensations relating to site coverage and building
distances from each boundary. While more site
coverage may be advantageous the downside of this is
that houses can appear crammed in.
Established companies with a history of building in
the Selwyn district have the expertise to guide clients
through these processes, helping ensure a smooth and
hassle-free build.
Less land translates to less work around the yard,
ideal for those who dislike gardening, have work
commitments which eat into their time, or where they
want their weekends free for recreational pursuits.
It is still possible to create attractive outdoor areas
for relaxing and entertaining even with a smaller yard.
Design is the key to making the most of any section,
both in terms of the house itself and landscaping of the
bare dirt outside.
“There’s lots of design options for a small section,”
suggests Evan Beker, co-owner and operator of
Generation Homes South. “It’s a case of working with
clients so they get the right house on the right section
to capture the sun while ensuring outdoor flow in a way
that suits their needs.”
When working with a smaller lot, the solution is to
choose a more compact design which still provides
all the features of a three or four bedroom home like
walk-in robes, reasonable living spaces and a good
sized functional kitchen. To achieve this, Evan and his
team assess where space can be saved, to be used more
effectively elsewhere.
“Even on a smaller footprint, buyers want all the
features of a larger home so minimising certain aspects
like hallways puts space where it counts. Outdoors, we
might subtly narrow the width of the eaves so an area is
more open or to gain more sun,” adds Evan.
With every section differing in size and orientation,
Evan says the secret is addressing how the house and
outdoor features will be used, strategically siting each
for indoor/outdoor flow with sheltered entertaining
areas close to kitchens and living room. Fencing to keep
children and animals safe, courtyards, patios, decks,
small or no lawn, decking and strategic planting may all
combine to creating a stunning setting where there is
intimacy and space for play.
Small sections can have
attractive outdoor areas.
Strategic planting can help create a
stunning setting on a smaller section.
