The thoughtful design and natural wetland beauty of Lara Lakes Estate is what initially caught the eye of James and Samanda. The couple was seeking an ideal balance between accessibility and tranquillity, while still in a commutable distance from Melbourne.
Having previously lived and worked at the bustling pace of Melbourne, the couple were attracted to Lara Lakes for its commitment to spacious living and community-oriented planning.
Their search for a new home was driven by a desire for open space and a connection to nature - Lara Lakes Estate's plan, which focuses on integrating wetlands and landscaping throughout.
James explained he and Samanda were looking for a place where the design and infrastructure allowed them to enjoy their surroundings without feeling cramped.
"The layout and amenities were designed with liability in mind, which really stood out to us,” James said.
The couple chose a modern Australian-style home with an industrial twist, featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an extended double garage.
James said the inclusion of steel fencing and solar rebates also made Lara Lakes appealing.
“With the rising costs of living and the overall property market, it's these additional perks that encourage customers to choose Lara Lakes,” he said.
Discussing the community within Lara Lakes, they highlighted the friendly and supportive nature of their neighbours.
"It's a laid-back atmosphere where everyone is considerate and looks out for each other. It's a real community.
The ability to take leisurely walks along the wetlands and enjoy the local green spaces is exactly the kind of lifestyle we have been searching for.”
Their journey to home ownership in Lara Lakes was marked by the ease of dealing with Bisinella Developments, which contrasted sharply with other developers' high-pressure tactics.
"The process here was straightforward and transparent, making it the easiest part of our building journey," James said.
Nearby attractions such as the You Yangs, the German Shepherd Dog Club, and the Pets Country Club offer engaging activities just outside their doorstep.
Looking back on their decision to move to Lara Lakes, the couple feels it has been an excellent choice to suit their lifestyle.
"We've only been here six months, but it already feels like home,” James said.
"Choosing Lara Lakes was one of the best decisions we've made. The value for money and the seamless buying process set it apart from other developments in the area.”
Lara Lakes Estate has only 33 lots left with sizes ranging from 416m2 to 684m2 and priced from $355,000.
