How a family craving a sense of community and extra space made their tree change dreams come true in Axe Creek.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A local family who recently made a tree change to Axe Creek are giving others inspiration to do the same with Catriona Rowntree on Chanel Nine\u2019s Country House Hunter\u2019s Australia<\/em>, showcasing the Metricon home, as an example of what real estate is on offer in rural Australia, in an upcoming episode.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that regional Victoria is continuing to gain popularity as more families and couples opt for extra space and a deeper sense of community, a trend that is reflected in the popularity of Country House Hunter\u2019s Australia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Robyn and Shane Eames and their two young children are one of the many families who have chosen to build their dream home in regional Victoria, seeking out the picturesque Axe Creek as their new community.<\/p>\n

The dream of building their family’s very own home on a sizeable piece of land was something they had longed for, with the draw of kangaroos in the backyard and the dream of watching their children play amongst nature beckoning, the family took the leap.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the change they have made and with the finishing touches on their Davenport 34 now complete and shown in an upcoming episode of Country House Hunter\u2019s Australia<\/em>, Robyn describes what she loves the most about where she now lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the open spaces, the everchanging landscape, the beautiful little community of neighbours we have dotted along our street and the environment our children get to grow up in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t dream of a better place to raise a family. The way the kids play has really changed so much since living here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reliance on technology just isn\u2019t there now, they love playing out in the dirt and riding their bikes up and down the driveway, it is beautiful to watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe truly have the best of both worlds here; we\u2019re only five minutes away from shops, schools, and doctors in Strathfieldsaye but when we\u2019re at home it feels like we could be out in the middle of nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as we saw the Davenport 34 floorplan, we knew we could stop our search. It was almost as though this home had been designed entirely with our family in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metricon Regional North manager, Tania Tonks, witnesses firsthand how much families are relishing in the more laid-back existence that regional Victoria has on offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cwe\u2019re now seeing families who made the move during COVID now fully immersed and engaged members of the local community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first met Robyn and Shane we knew they had dreams of having more space for the family and so being able to build their dream home here has been something we really are proud of. Working closely with them and our trusted team of local suppliers and trades has well and truly delivered something that we are all so proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are interested in building your dream home, why not visit the Romsey display home located just outside Bendigo at 1 Main Street, Romsey. It\u2019s open every day bar Wednesdays and Thursdays between 11am and 5pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
