Selling a city home and building a smaller house on a bigger block. Here's how people approach it.

1 min readUpdated 22 October 2026

Many buyers sell a city home and build something smaller on much more land.

A smaller, smarter house

A well-designed smaller home is easier to clean, cheaper to run and quicker to build.

More land

Around 2.5 acres gives room for sheds, gardens and hobbies.

Timing the sale

With settlement at Hidden Valley expected in mid-2027 and no time limit to build, you can coordinate the sale of your current home with your build.
