Five Farms is moving into its next phase of delivery, with more than 220 lots handed over in 2025 and nearly 200 new families welcomed into the community over the past year alone.
For buyers weighing up a house and land package in Melbourne’s south-east growth corridor, that momentum matters: it signals not just a masterplanned vision, but an estate actively taking shape.
Five Farms is a 1,600-lot masterplanned estate at 100 Wild Goose Way, Clyde North, with completion currently forecast for October 2030. It forms part of Melbourne’s established south-east growth spine, around 55km from the CBD and 38 km to the Mornington Peninsula, with M1 access via Bells Road.
The scale is significant. Five neighbourhoods are planned, with residential land, house and land packages, and townhomes available. Current land pricing sits between $451,000 and $640,000, with select incentives including a $20,000 land rebate on nominated lots.
In 2025, stages 26–29 were delivered, with construction progressing across stages 7, 9, 30 and 60. Stages 7, 9 and 30 are currently available for sale, giving buyers options between more established pockets and earlier-stage releases. This delivery pipeline helps reduce one of the biggest risks in greenfield estates: buying into a long-term vision that takes years to materialise.
Five Farms is structured around walkable amenity rather than a centralised retail strip that may take years to arrive.
The estate will include 5.36 hectares of parks and green space with walk and bike paths, plus access to the Allendale Residents’ Club, with outdoor pool, gym, multi-use court, café and function spaces. A future town centre with shops and a supermarket is proposed , though buyers should treat that as medium-term infrastructure rather than day-one amenity.
On the education front, St Josephine Bakhita Primary School has opened and welcomed more than 100 students. Birranga College is in the final stages of construction and preparing to open to its first Year 7 cohort in Term 1, 2026, expanding year by year. For hospital access, St John of God Berwick Hospital and Casey Hospital are around 10km away.
That combination, operational primary school, incoming secondary school, and established health infrastructure nearby, shifts Five Farms beyond the purely speculative phase many new estates go through.
Builders to consider for Five Farms and the Clyde North region
Below are several builders active in the region who offer house and land packages or build on buyer-owned land in Melbourne’s south-east.
Davidson Building Group
Established: 1972
Homes per year: ~40
Build locations: Melbourne East, South East, Drouin/Warragul
Davidson Building Group operates at a smaller annual volume, delivering around 40 homes per year. For buyers concerned about being one of hundreds in a production pipeline, that scale can be appealing.
Their house and land packages are positioned as a streamlined pathway to building, with an emphasis on tailored design guidance, quality materials and transparent communication. The company highlights a collaborative approach, involving clients from planning through to handover.
In estates like Five Farms, where lot sizes and orientations vary by stage, a builder comfortable with customisation and sloping sites can be valuable, particularly on non-standard blocks.
Ridgewater Homes
Established: 2017
Homes per year: ~210
Ridgewater Homes positions itself in the custom and luxury segment, with a growing presence across metro and regional Victoria. With around 200 homes delivered annually, it sits between boutique and high-volume scale.
The company emphasises craftsmanship, supplier relationships and tailored construction solutions. For buyers wanting to differentiate their home within a large masterplanned estate, a builder comfortable stepping beyond catalogue-only designs can help avoid the “same house, different street” effect.
Singh Homes
Established: 2009
Homes per year: ~300
Build locations: Melbourne West, North, South East
Singh Homes focuses heavily on design and fixed-price certainty. Their house and land process involves selecting a block, matching a suitable design and finalising interior and exterior finishes with consultant guidance.
A key feature of their house and land offering is a fixed price that includes site costs, council requirements and developer guidelines, an important consideration in estates with specific design controls.
For Five Farms buyers, where developer guidelines and façade requirements will apply, clarity around what is included in the base price versus optional upgrades is critical.
Simonds Homes
Established: 1949
Homes per year: ~1,000
Simonds operates at large scale, delivering around 1,000 homes per year. Their house and land packages combine land and home into a single, streamlined pathway, supported by a fixed-price guarantee.
The model is designed to reduce the complexity of managing separate land and build contracts, with partnerships across major Victorian land developers.
Gresswell 41
Buyers can select from a broad range of single and double-storey designs and personalise finishes within structured inclusions.
In a large estate like Five Farms, a volume builder with established processes can offer predictable timelines and pricing, though buyers should pay close attention to upgrade pathways and site cost assumptions.
Mimosa Homes
Established: 2007
Homes per year: 500–700
Build locations: Melbourne West, North, South East & Geelong
Mimosa Homes operates in the mid-to-high volume bracket and is known for its display home presence across Melbourne and Geelong. Their house and land packages focus on balancing affordability with design flexibility.
Riverdale 226
Each home undergoes a 200-point quality assurance review, according to the builder, with an emphasis on consistent craftsmanship and modern floorplan configurations.
For buyers in Five Farms who want a structured house and land pathway but still value some customisation in façade and internal layout, Mimosa sits between boutique custom builders and the largest production operators.
The bottom line for Five Farms buyers
Five Farms is no longer just a future concept. With delivered stages, operational schooling, active construction and defined amenity, it has moved into a more mature delivery phase.
The decision now becomes more granular:
-
Do you prioritise builder flexibility or pricing certainty?
-
Are you buying in an earlier stage and comfortable waiting for surrounding infrastructure?
-
Is long-term resale value tied to façade differentiation in your chosen street?
In an estate projected to house 1,600 families , individual buyer decisions, lot selection, builder choice, and level of customisation, will ultimately shape both liveability and future value.
For those set on Clyde North, the opportunity at Five Farms lies not just in securing land, but in pairing it with the right builder for your budget, timeline and appetite for design control.
