Rural Granny Flat – Marburg

Another great example for those looking for options for the extended family and wanting to downsize at the same time…

Watch the build video below:

OVERVIEW:

2014 Rural acreage bought by several family members
Original house built 1910 – a beautiful 5 bedroom Queenslander
Land size 12.14ha
Kids want to make the original house their new family home
Early 2015, separate stand alone Granny Flat idea mooted
Granny flat designs, approved and lodged
Granny flat building commenced early 2016

DETAILS:

The original 5 bedroom Queenslander was large enough for the kids and extended family. The idea of a smaller separate dwelling for the parents seemed like the logical step to progress things.

We are finding that this is not an uncommon situation – parents wanting to downsize but still live in close proximity and be a part of the family. Currently one in four granny flats that we are building are for immediate family members. It’s a great solution for all concerned.

The building finished and final completion certificate issued, parents moved into their new abode – are they happy! Absolutely – are the kids happy – Absolutely!

Are you looking to downsize and want to help the kids into the property market?
