Yes, and in Melbourne’s south east corridor this is actually a realistic target in 2026. [cite: 161] Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, double garage — the standard family home — is achievable under $750k if you’re looking in the right estates. [cite: 161]
What’s Realistic in the South East
In Pakenham, Officer and Clyde North, 4-bedroom house and land packages are available in the $680,000 to $749,000 range. [cite: 163] You’re typically looking at around 200 to 240sqm of living space on a lot between 300 and 400sqm. [cite: 164] The Simonds Homes Fairlight and Grampian designs, Carlisle Homes EasyLiving range, and several boutique south east builders regularly offer 4-bedroom packages in this price bracket. [cite: 165]
What to Watch
- Single versus double storey — Double storey can fit a larger floor plan on a smaller block, which helps with land costs. [cite: 167] But builds take longer and cost more. [cite: 168]
- Inclusions — At $750k, you should expect stone benchtops, quality floor coverings and a reasonable appliance package. [cite: 169] If a builder is offering 4 bedrooms well under $700k, check the inclusions carefully. [cite: 170]
- Block size — A 4-bedroom home on a 280sqm block is tight. [cite: 171] If outdoor space matters to you, push for 350sqm or more. [cite: 172]
