Another win for Southern Vale
G
RAHAM Searle’s
Southern Vale Homes
has picked up another
major award at this year’s
Master Builders Association of Victoria Regional
Building Awards held on
June 3, 2016.
The latest award of Best
Display Home $350,000 $500,000 for the Retreat
35 display home in White
Box Rise, Wodonga, joins
a long list of accolades
received over the last
22 years.
“The award-winning
design was the product
of many team members,
who carefully assessed
the home’s location in
order to craft an innovative
house design taking full
advantage of the available
natural light and surrounding views,” said Graham.
“Most people who
walk into this home are
surprised to see a timber
staircase as soon as they
enter the front door.
“Then they climb the
stairs to discover a very
unique living area complete
with far-reaching views of
the surrounding hills and
countryside.
“Our main aim with this
home was to make people
think outside the square.
By thinking imaginatively
about the size and location
of your lot, you can really
take full advantage of the

Southern Vale Homes has taken out the Best Display Home award at this years Regional Building Awards for the Retreat 35 display home in
White Box Rise, Wodonga, adding to an already extensive list of wins over the past two decades.
space and views available
to you.”
The family-owned
business was founded in
1994 by Graham Searle
with its first office operating from the garage of his
Albury home.
After continued growth
and multiple building
awards, Southern Vale’s
offices are now spread
across Albury Wodonga,
Sydney, Griffith, Shepparton, Bendigo and Ulladulla.
“We believe the differ-
ence between Southern
Vale and other project
home builders is our ongoing quality of workmanship
as well as our flexibility
in creating unique homes
tailored to suit each client,”
said Graham.
“Our in-house team of
drafting staff can customise
any existing plan, so that
each client’s specific living
or budget requirements
can be met.
“This means we can
create and implement new
home designs that truly
reflect the varied needs
and styles of our customers, as well as the different
demands across all of our
six operating locations.”
The award winning home
features four-bedrooms and
includes an expansive master bedroom and ensuite,
three living areas, a large
study nook and a generous
under roof alfresco.
One of the main highlights of Retreat 35 is the
unexpected mezzanine loft,
which is the hallmark of
this home. It is a spacious
home for those on a
smaller lot, who seek an
attractive single-storey
home with the advantage
of an extra room within the
cleverly designed mezzanine level.
The Retreat 35 display
home is located at 44
Maygar Avenue, White Box
Rise Estate, Wodonga. It
is open to the public from
1 – 5pm Mon to Friday and
12 – 5pm Sat and Sun.

Inner city living has a promising future in Albury
I
NNER city apartment living
has a strong future, according to well known local real
estate identity Alan Chapman,
now retired.
A new development in David
Street, Albury – Wighton Apartments – is about to be released
onto the market and will fill a
niche gap in the central Albury
area, he says.
“This is quite a unique project as it includes 10 spacious
units, close to the city, but not
too close to Dean Street, with
affordable price ranges,” said
Mr Chapman.
Mr Chapman is the father of
one of the developers which
include his son Glenn and wife
Kerry, Gerald and Mary Judd and
Daryl and Ange Ryan.
“The object of this development is to offer quality and
spacious inner city town-houses
at reasonable prices. They are are
situated in an excellent location in
central Albury but do not attract
the huge rates.
“David Street is a beautiful,
quiet and leafy inner city location
and is an improving area; people
are realising its potential.”
He said the villa units will
appeal to older people, due to
their privacy and security and to
younger buyers because of the
modern design, spaciousness
and amount of outdoor entertainment area.
They will be offered for sale at
prices ranging from $440,000 to
$540,000. Units will be open for
inspection at 11am on Sunday
June 19, 11am on Sunday June
26 and 11am on Sunday July 3 (all
until 1pm).
One unit (only) will be offered
for sale by auction on Saturday
July 9.
