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 is a piece of land with varying levels, where one side of the block is lower or higher than the other. Blocks can slope in different directions – sloping down means the lowest point is at the road, sloping up means the highest point is at the road, or cross fall where the slope is side-to-side.

Why build on a sloping block?

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 be able to

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)
Cut and fill with split-level slabs
Add floor levels that maximise floor space used vertically, limiting your building footprint and saving you additional costs
