Buying land/building a home in Airlie beach
Airlie Beach, QLD 4802 is located within the Whitsunday local government area, part of the Mackay (Greater) Region in Queensland.
Has anyone here done that before? What was your experience like? Did you run into any problems? How much did your home cost to build? We just want something basic (3 or 4 bedroom, nothing fancy) know a good builder? Anything to watch out for when building new?
Not sure whether to build or buy a cheap home in cannonvale instead?
Thankyou

Proserpine is the best place to build, it is affordable and the community supportive and friendly with great transport, health and education facilities you would be bonkers to build elsewhere.

Did you end up buying land and building a house? If so can you please post your feedback
I wouldn't recommend building unless you have specific needs which from your question it didn't sound like you did. Perhaps it would be helpful to write a list of qualities that are important to your family in home eg. close to education and transport services, type of entertaining area needed etc. Look at whether the list can be met with the existing houses. If these needs cannot be met with the existing housing it is worthwhile looking at building your own custom home.
There are certainly plenty of options to buy in Cannonvale for 3 and 4 bedroom houses.

We have been holidaying here for the past 30 years. Now that we have just retired we are in a position to finally get that holiday house! My question would be what would be the cost of building a basic, small house on an elevated block? We are very used to flat building blocks. If building here we would like a view if at all possible. We know the cost of the blocks but don't know the cost of building. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

I would choose Proserpine as well. Airlie Beach is a dump.
