🏡 Building Your Dream Home in Kerrie, Hesket, Taradale & Tylden: Why These Hidden Gems Are Worth a Closer Look
When people think of building in the Macedon Ranges or Hepburn Shire, the usual places come to mind—Woodend, Daylesford, Kyneton, or Trentham. But for those looking for more space, serenity, and a truly personalised home-building experience, it’s time to look just beyond the well-worn paths to places like Kerrie, Hesket, Taradale, and Tylden.
At Talbot Homes, we specialise in custom home builds that are perfectly suited to regional living. These emerging locations offer an exciting opportunity to build your forever home in a setting that’s peaceful, private, and full of potential.
🌳 Kerrie: Rural Charm Just Minutes from Gisborne
Tucked between Gisborne and Mount Macedon, Kerrie is a secluded rural haven perfect for those dreaming of tree-lined drives, expansive views, and country-style living. Blocks here are typically generous, and the proximity to Gisborne offers convenience without compromising on privacy. Whether it’s a modern farmhouse or a passive steel-frame home, Kerrie offers the space and tranquillity to create something truly special.
🌲 Hesket: Elevated Living with a Mountain View
Situated on the slopes of Mount Macedon, Hesket is ideal for those looking to build in a highland climate with natural beauty all around. With limited development and a strong sense of community, this pocket of the Macedon Ranges is perfectly suited to architecturally designed custom homes that embrace the landscape. Our team understands the terrain, weather patterns, and BAL ratings unique to Hesket, and can help you build with confidence in this elevated location.
🏞️ Taradale: Character and Community in Central Victoria
Located between Kyneton and Castlemaine, Taradale is a historic goldfields town with a vibrant, artistic community and some of the most scenic building lots in the region. Its heritage feel and bushland surrounds make it perfect for custom country homes, period-style renovations, or eco-conscious new builds. We’re currently building in Taradale and love the balance it offers between accessibility and off-the-grid charm.
🌾 Tylden: Space to Dream, Build, and Grow
Tylden is one of Victoria’s best-kept secrets for rural living with town connectivity. Its flat open landscapes and stunning horizons are ideal for those wanting to build a large custom home, homestead, or shed-inclusive property. With easy access to Daylesford and Trentham, Tylden is well-suited to families, tree changers, or retirees looking to invest in quality craftsmanship and long-term value.
