In the heart of the Macedon Ranges, a new neighbourhood offers a treechange with an urban twist.
A beautiful new home in an established location is what dreams are made of. So, it's no wonder Rosalia Gisborne, featuring over 600 spacious lots, is turning heads.
Developer ID_Land says the location in the vibrant regional town of Gisborne alone will appeal.
Gisborne residents get the best of both worlds when it comes to access to amenity and country charm.
But buyers get the best of both worlds—space to move with plenty of urban conveniences in a thriving regional town, all within a 50-minute drive of the Melbourne CBD.
A region in demand
Located just 54 km west of the city, this picturesque town has always held appeal.
Think tree-lined streets, beautiful parklands, lush nature reserves, heritage buildings, and a charming central hub. It also boasts all the amenities, like a library, recreation centre, a burgeoning hospitality scene, childcare centres, schools, and a train station.
"Gisborne is an incredibly desirable place to live," explains Anne Flaherty, realestate.com.au economist. "It's at the gateway to the Macedon Ranges National Park, so it's a very leafy, green, a beautiful part of Victoria. But it's also less than an hour from the CBD, so people buying there get the best of both worlds in terms of location, which is why it's been so popular over the years."
She adds that growth has been strong, with the median price currently at $1.03 million—up 27 per cent over the past five years.
Nick Bosco, ID_Land general manager, adds that Gisborne's already established status despite its regional placement is also a big drawcard.
"The town centre has a great community feel full of great cafés, shops and local services, as well as major retailers like Coles and Aldi.
"It’s great that Gisborne already has those everyday conveniences established, which offers a great choice from a lifestyle perspective."
A place for living
Bosco says that Rosalia has been designed to embrace Gisborne's country charm.
There will be over 600 blocks available, ranging from townhomes up to 2000sqm lots, giving people ample flexibility and space to design their dream home and include a backyard.
Additionally, the neighbourhood has been beautifully planned.
"The blocks are on average bigger when compared to metropolitan subdivisions, and we've got room to create a location that buyers will feel proud of," Bosco shares.
"The streets are tree-lined, and the lots have wider frontages that will be coupled with traditional and ranch style facades, which are very popular in the area.
"We've really taken Gisborne's beautiful style and made sure that it's mimicked throughout.
"It's also been designed with bicycle and shared paths that connect the pocket parks and open spaces."
Nearby is the Gisborne Shopping Centre, where people can shop and mingle.
However, there are also potential plans for a vibrant local convenience centre within Rosalia that will be only a short walk from residents doorsteps.
Bosco adds that Rosalia will be much more affordable than buying established homes in the area.
"Gisborne has traditionally been large lots with huge homes, but it's an area that has been starved of that more affordable property.
"So, we saw a really good opportunity to add an affordable product to the Region."
Blocks start at $398,000.
Buyers looking for more space will be pleasantly surprised when they see the larger blocks on offer.
Created by experts
In the current property climate, buyers want to know they are in good hands, so the fact that it's ID_Lands' second project in Gisborne will likely be of interest.
“This will be the second ID_Land project in the area, following Willow, Gisborne which is nearing completion, so people can see the kind of communities we offer and deliver just up the road,” shares Bosco.
"It's a testament to our brand and our teams’ ability to deliver that we’ve built over our 15 years of business."
The company also boast awards, having been acknowledged by industry bodies like the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) for some of their other Victorian-based projects.
Bosco adds that purchasers get to build their own home designs with trusted big-name builders and that the project includes a future display village that buyers will get to experience.
Located at 89 Ross Watt Road, Gisborne he said people should come by and take a look at the site and our brand-new Sales Office.
"We are actually really excited about it," he says. It has an urban and vibrant design but is in a lovely location."
