Introducing Avery's Rise: Uncomplicated Living, Made Complete

Recognising the immense potential of this area, Complete by McDonald Jones is proud to be building in Avery’s Rise, an exclusive estate designed to make new home ownership a stress-free reality. Avery's Rise offers affordable lot prices, making it an attractive option for families seeking a desirable rural setting with convenient access to urban amenities.

We believe that building a home shouldn’t be complicated. Our house and land packages at Avery’s Rise are founded on the principle of “Uncomplicated Living.” This means one fixed-price contract, with no hidden costs or unwelcome surprises. As part of this turnkey solution, buyers can choose from a range of cleverly designed single-storey homes, with floorplans offering multiple bedrooms and bathrooms to suit every family size and lifestyle.

While other builders may start with a low base price that excludes essentials, our turnkey solution ensures your home is genuinely move-in ready from day one. This is what we mean by Complete:

  • A fixed price, guaranteed: Your single contract covers the home and the land. Site costs, BASIX requirements, and even design guidelines are all factored in.
  • Premium inclusions as standard: Enjoy reverse-cycle ducted air conditioning, premium appliances, and silica-free stone benchtops, all included.
  • A home that’s ready for living: We take care of everything outside, too. Your driveway, fencing, turf, letterbox, and clothesline are all included, so you can start living the moment you receive the keys.
