From The Beginning



Chelsea - New Home Design
Chelsea 37 Resort


Its been close to 18 months since we first selected the Chelsea as a future home. We are building on acreage on the Mornington Peninsula and the layout was ideal for our land and the presentation of the display by Metricon was the best we had seen.

The sales team at Marriott Waters in Lyndhurst were excellent to work with assisting us with our requirements. We selected a large number of the displayed options (the cost was a shock, but close to our original budget).

Being on acreage added a number of complications:
  • No towm water requiring tanks and sealed gutter system.
  • Bush fire regulations (added significant cost)
  • Tank gas (LPG gas appliances)
  • Costs of services higher due to distances from road.
After the journey through Studio M we eventually had plans to present to council. 7 month later we had our palanning permit and could start to finalise our contract.

Despite the time to get things right we are already at 14 variations, fortunately mostly in our favour.
