How to Choose the Perfect Rural Block for Your New Farmhouse
                     How to Choose 
The Perfect 
Rural Block for 
Your New 
Farmhouse
There’s no denying it: rural blocks are a great 
investment. They’re a solid long-term asset that can 
add value to your property, and they can help you 
achieve your dream of owning your own farmhouse 
with the help of new house builders in 
Melbourne. But before you sign on the dotted line, 
there are a few things to consider. Here’s our guide for 
choosing the perfect rural block for your new 
farmhouse!
Keep 
climate in 
mind
Keeping the local climate in mind is 
important when choosing a block for 
your new farmhouse. For example, 
if you live in a hot, dry climate and 
want to grow fruit trees or other 
plants that need plenty of water, 
then it’s best to stay away from 
blocks that are on hillsides or close 
to a creek. 
Think about what 
it’s going to cost 
down the track
You should also think about what it’s going to 
cost you down the track. How much does it 
cost to run a farmhouse? What are the costs of 
running a farmhouse? Who pays for what? Are 
you going to be able to afford all of these 
things, or will you have to sell off your cows 
and chickens and goats in order to pay for 
repairs?
Conclusion
If you want to know what the area is really like, we’d recommend having a chat with your 
neighbours. Find out how they feel about the local community and whether they’re happy being 
there. After all, you’ll be living in the same neighbourhood as them for years to come—it’s worth 
making sure that you have similar views and interests! Of course, before moving into a new area 
altogether, it’s also worth checking out other aspects of life in the region.
