Are you thinking about building a house in regional Victoria? Is the Macedon Ranges Shire on your radar? It definitely should be! Read on to find out why becoming a home builder in the Macedon Ranges is a very good idea.

1. Location

Situated in Central Victoria, the Macedon Ranges region is less than one hour from both Melbourne and Bendigo by car and train.

Drivers can take the Calder Highway, which links Melbourne to Bendigo, to reach any of the nine primary residential areas in the Macedon Ranges Shire.

There’s also a V/line train service, running from Melbourne to Bendigo almost every hour. This fast rail link stops at Clarkefield, Riddells Creek, Gisborne, Macedon, Woodend, Kyneton and Malmsbury.

So whether you’re thinking of building a first home or a second home in the Macedon Ranges, commuting between Melbourne and/or Bendigo will never be an issue.

Residents of the Macedon Ranges Shire enjoy a very high quality of life. First of all, there are all the health benefits that come from living close to nature. Second, there are all the psychological benefits that come from living in a small, friendly community, where people really care about their local town.

And there’s no need for your career to take a backseat when you live in a place like the Macedon Ranges. There is a buzzing, business-friendly community. Tourism, agriculture, equine, professional and creative services all thrive in this popular part of regional Victoria.
