Introduction
Do you think Caloundra might be the perfect area to build your dream home? Why not visit a local display home, located either in Pelican Waters or an Aura Display Home to find the perfect design for you? Today we’re looking at display homes in Caloundra, with the main purpose of this blog being to provide links to our in-depth reviews of the display villages and of the builders.
House and Land Packages
At Master-planned estates, house and land packages are usually heavily promoted by the builders as an option that streamlines the building experience. While this sounds fantastic in theory, you need to carefully consider that you won’t have much choice if you choose to take this route. This isn’t to say it won’t suit anyone, but you may find that with the right guidance, choosing to buy land and then choose a builder may be better value for money than a house and land package. Contact us today to find out more about the best building option for you.

As you may have guessed, prices skyrocket when you look at waterfront properties. From what’s available, expect to pay at least 1.4m for a waterfront block of land. Cheaper inland vacant lots still are selling for at least $400,000.
At Aura, there is currently lots of land available at the time of publication. Prices range between $300,000-450,000, depending on size and location.

Pelican Waters Display Village
Pelican Waters is a suburb in Caloundra, known for its waterfront properties as well as being a community popular with families. The suburb itself began development in 1990 and has since grown to have a population close to 6,000. It’s not the cheapest place on the coast, so maybe difficult for first home buyers

Is Caloundra the right area for me?
Caloundra is an ideal place for those who want to be close to the beach and rural areas. It tends to attract a lot of families and retirees, due to its relaxed vibe and access to shopping, public transport and schools. The University of the Sunshine Coast in Sippy Downs is about 20-30 minutes down the road. It’s also within a half an hour of many of the Sunshine Coast’s other suburbs such as Maroochydore,
Caloundra is definitely best suited for those looking for a quieter, more laid-back lifestyle and who don’t mind being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Properties can be expensive (especially if you’re thinking of buying near the beach) so first home buyers might need to settle with somewhere in the suburbs.
