Whether you’re dreaming of backyard barbecues or planning space for a future veggie patch, your lot size will play a big role in shaping your lifestyle. So, how do you know how much space is just right?

Here’s what to consider when choosing from available lots at Matilda, which currently offer homebuyers the opportunity to secure lots ranging from 276m² to 566m²!*

Think About How You Live

Start with your lifestyle. Are you an entertainer who loves to host? Do you have kids (or pets) who’ll need space to run around? Or are you dreaming of a low-maintenance garden that won’t take up your weekends?

Smaller lots (up to 350m²) can be perfect for:

  • Busy professionals or downsizers who want less upkeep
  • First-home buyers looking for an affordable entry into the market
  • Compact, clever home designs that maximise internal space

Larger lots (400m²+) may be better suited for:

  • Families needing more bedrooms and living zones
  • Outdoor lovers who want room for a trampoline or an alfresco area
  • Future flexibility — like room to extend or add a shed

What Will You Build?

It’s important to match your block with your preferred house design. A wider frontage or deeper lot might open up more options with your builder, including a double garage, extra bedroom or open-plan layout.

Working with a builder early in the process will help ensure your home fits comfortably on your block and meets local siting requirements.

Don’t Forget Outdoor Space

It’s easy to focus on the house, but your outdoor space matters too. Even a modest backyard can become a play area, garden, or peaceful retreat. At Matilda, you’ll also have access to shared green spaces, including manicured pathways, waterways and child-friendly parks, meaning you don’t need a massive backyard to enjoy the outdoors.
