House & Land Packages South Australia

A house and land package works by taking the pressure off building a new house by bundling the block of land and the home from the start. 

At Metricon Homes, we keep it even simpler. We offer fixed-price house and land packages, so you get a clear cost before the building process even begins.

As a licensed Australian home builder with decades of experience in South Australia and across the country, we don’t just build houses. We build in communities you want to be part of. We bring the right mix of local knowledge and national expertise to every build, and we’re ready to do the same for you.

A house and land package with Metricon includes everything you need to move in with confidence, from a smart, functional floorplan to carefully considered inclusions that add real value. You’ll have the option to choose from a wide range of home designs, with upgrades and facade options that help you shape the space to suit your style.

Here’s what you’ll find in The Metricon Range:

• HomeSolution – A smart choice for first home buyers ready to get into the real estate market. These low-maintenance homes are designed to make the most of smaller blocks in popular growth areas like Mount Barker, Riverlea Park and Munno Para Downs.
• Freedom – Built for growing families across South Australia. Our Freedom homes give you more space inside and out, with floor plans that work well on blocks in places like Angle Vale, Gawler East and Littlehampton.
• Designer – Ideal for buyers who want more control over the details. Our Designer homes come with a range of inclusions and facade options and suit a mix of block sizes, whether you’re building in Adelaide Hills or closer to the coast.
• Signature – Designed for bigger plans and long-term living. Our Signature homes are a great fit for premium land releases or larger blocks across Adelaide and regional areas, with more flexibility to create a space that feels truly yours.

There are blocks that just ask for something different. That’s where our DualOcc homes and Acreage Collection come in. Whether you’re building on a wider site or planning ahead for multi-living, we’ve got house designs that make the most of the land.

South Australia has always offered more breathing room, and that still holds true. A house and land package from Metricon Homes gives you a smarter path to homeownership with a new home designed around your lifestyle and the confidence of working with a builder who knows the market and holds a proper builder’s licence.

Here’s why it works for different buyers:

• First home buyers – Packages in places like Gawler East and Murray Bridge offer a way in without overreaching. You’ll know the price, avoid bidding wars, and still get your dream home in a great location with the essentials already sorted.
• Growing families – Families want a bit more space, a backyard that actually works, and somewhere that makes school runs and weekends easier. Areas like Encounter Bay and surrounding suburbs offer that lifestyle without the stretch.
• Investors – It’s not just about finding a tenant. It’s about getting in early on well-planned land developments, with designs that meet local demand. Plus, because it’s a new build from a licensed builder, ongoing costs are easier to manage long-term.
• Upgraders and downsizers – Life shifts, and your home should too. A Metricon house and land package gives you the flexibility to find a block that fits your plans, so you can downsize to something easier to manage or move up to something with more breathing room.

Every Metricon home is backed by experience, smart thinking and a focus on what matters. A quality home that works for how you want to live now and down the track. Want to see what that looks like before you build? You can drop by a Metricon display home in South Australia, or take a 3D virtual tour and explore our house designs from wherever you are.

There’s no single answer, but there is a clear way forward. With Metricon’s house & land packages, you’ll get upfront pricing with no unexpected extras halfway through. The final figure depends on your block, your design, and the level of finishes you choose, but the price you see includes the essentials you need to get started.

A few key things can influence the cost:

• Site costs – These cover site-specific factors such as soil type, slope, access and drainage. They vary from block to block, which is why we assess each site early and build it into the package price.
• Home design and upgrades – Layout, footprint, facade, and inclusions all play a role in the final cost.
• Location and land size – Bigger blocks and more in-demand suburbs may carry a higher land price, but we work closely with developers to offer options across a wide mix of budgets.

There’s also stamp duty, but the good news is you’ll only pay it on the land. That’s because the house hasn’t been built yet when contracts are signed, which can mean real savings upfront.

Not sure what works for your budget? Get in touch with our friendly new home consultants, and we’ll walk you through what’s possible and help you narrow it down. No pressure, just real numbers and honest answers.

Finding the right home should feel like progress, not paperwork. That’s why Metricon Homes keeps the process clear and the support ongoing, from choosing a block to final walkthrough, and every step in between. You’ll have the right team behind you, and a floor plan that actually fits the way you want to live.

1. What is a facade on a house?

A facade is the front of your home that gives it street appeal. You can see a range of facade options at our display villages across South Australia.

2. Can I build more than one house on my land?

In some cases, yes, but it depends on your block size, zoning, and local council rules. Our team can assess your site and talk you through your options, including our DualOcc designs.

3. What does dual occupancy mean?

Dual occupancy means building two separate homes on one block, each with its own entry and layout. It gives you a smart way to live, rent, or share space all on the same piece of land.

4. What are site costs when building a house?

Site costs cover what’s needed to prepare the land for building, like soil testing, levelling, drainage, and access. With Metricon, we assess these early and include them in the fixed-price package.

5. How long does it take to build a Metricon home in SA?

Build times can vary depending on house design, block, and approvals. If you’re looking to move in sooner, ask us about our FastTrack Your Build service, available on select home designs.
