Building on a Slope | Something for Everyone

Embrace All the Benefits of Elevated Living

At Sherwood Grange, your dream home will not only be set on a large lot but will take in amazing views of the natural landscape as it gently slopes down to Jacksons Creek and Emu Bottom. Building on a slope at Sherwood Grange promises more land, more views, more opportunities for bespoke design to make your home as individual as you are. In a one-of-a-kind community, your home will be exceptional.

What is a Sloping Block?

A sloping block of land may include down slope, up slope, side slope and rolling slope, each offering the chance to do something amazing with your home.

Building on flat land can limit the possibilities for bespoke architecture and style, whereas a sloping block not only gifts residents stunning views, but also the opportunity for distinctive designs that will impress now and into the future.

Why Build on a Sloping Block at Sherwood Grange?

To take in the stunning views of the natural surrounds
For the opportunity to make your home unique with designs such as split-level homes or the inclusion of such features as rooftop balconies, outdoor pools, mezzanine levels and layered gardens
To live in neighbourhoods that showcase distinctive character and style
Elevated homes can more effectively capture light
To take advantage of prevailing breezes that may enhance home ventilation, decreasing energy bills
To capitalize on the fact that elevated homes have a stately appeal that may generate price increases over time.

Choose the Right Builder

It is best to choose a builder who has the experience and knowledge to build on this style of block and understands the important considerations. Builders will work closely with you to realise the unique and perfect vision for your home, that makes the most of the landscape and caters to your lifestyle needs and aspirations. Their expert problem-solving skills will save you money and give you the assurance you need throughout the building process.

Your Custom Builder Will:

Identify the type of slope
Find designs specifically suited to your slope
Adapt your nominated house design so that it works well with your block
Assess costings on your proposed building area, not the entire block (the entire block may have a slope of 6m, however, the proposed building area may only be 3m)
Use lightweight steel options such as LiteSteel Beam as these options have the least degree of cost variation relating to changes in site condition
Cut and fill with split-level slabs
Add floor levels that maximise floor space used vertically, limiting your building footprint and thus saving you additional costs.
