When their three-bedroom townhome in Brisbane’s north started to feel cramped, the couple began to explore larger living arrangements and discovered Sage, Cedar Woods’ masterplanned community at Burpengary.
They are joining a growing group of upgraders choosing Sage for its high-value house and land packages, ideal proximity to transport, established local amenities, and beautiful natural environment which has been maintained and restored.
“We wanted to stay well connected between the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane and were looking for more space and a quieter environment,” Emilie said.
“Sage is tucked away, peaceful, and feels secure, which is important to us. It’s a lovely, quiet area with a great community feel. We love that it is between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, making it convenient for both our commutes and there’s less traffic.”
Located in the heart of the Moreton Bay Region, Burpengary is just 40 minutes to both the Brisbane CBD to the south and the Sunshine Coast to the North. Burpengary is also experiencing significant growth and is evolving into an established lifestyle precinct.
Emilie and Jordan are building their single-story modern home at Sage with four-bedrooms, two-bathrooms and two living areas, with space in the backyard for a future pool.
“The House and Land package we chose to build was excellent value for us, especially compared to the established housing market,” Emilie said.
“Building allows us to get exactly what we want, right from the start, and it’s more cost-effective. We also avoided the stress and price wars of buying established homes.
“We can’t wait to move into our Sage home around mid-2025.”
Sage is preserving approximately 30% of its site as an ecological corridor, alongside a diverse collection of home sites, making the master-planned community’s tranquil bushland setting the perfect escape from south-east Queensland’s hustle and bustle.
Emilie said they liked that the community was surrounded by lifestyle, health, public transport and education facilities, which will accommodate the couple’s future plans to start a family.
“The area has all the amenities we need, plus lots of nearby bushland and wildlife, which we enjoy,” Emilie said.
“We’re excited about quiet weekends at home in a place that suits our lifestyle, and the new park, which will be great to have nearby as we grow our family.”
Emilie said the purchasing process had been simple with Cedar Woods.
“The Sage team was great to deal with. They helped us secure the perfect homesite, and the whole experience has been smooth and positive,” she said.
