9 Fantastic New EasyLiving Homes For Small Blocks

Meet our nine beautiful new EasyLiving homes, all designed to meet the Small Lot Housing Code so you can build your compact home with zero hassle and fuss.

 If you’re a small family, downsizing, living alone or working with a tight budget, a compact home might be exactly what you’re after. Until a few years ago, building a new home on a block under 300 square metres required a special planning permit, making the whole process tricky and time-consuming. But the introduction of the Small Lot Housing Code (SLHC) has simplified the process. Now, so long as your home meets specific design and siting standards, you no longer need a permit, making it easy to build your new home on a budget.

We’re excited to introduce nine stunning new EasyLiving homes – two single-storey and seven double-storey – all specially designed for Small Lot Housing Code sites under 300 square metres. Small in size but big on features and functionality, we know you’ll love them!

 

"At Carlisle, we’ve designed smaller homes to suit your lifestyle. These new EasyLiving homes are about smart design, efficient use of space, and making quality living accessible to everyone, regardless of land size and budget constraints."  – John Doulgeridis, Managing Director, Carlisle Homes

 

And best of all, we’ve packaged these homes onto blocks of land from leading estates across Melbourne so you can work to a fixed price for both your home and land combined. View packages here.
