Benefits
The designs at Ten NorthMaine will have a strong focus on solar passive design. This will ensure your home is a comfortable temperature throughout the seasons. You will also benefit from reduced energy usage and running costs, making living more sustainable and economical.
Become part of a one-of-a-kind development in a neighbourhood of like-minded individuals; with a focus on quality and sustainability.
Live on quiet residential streets, that are very close to all the township has to offer.
Be comfortable and confident that the beautiful historic landmark next-door will never be developed. Thus once Ten NorthMaine is complete, a quiet precinct will be maintained.
Each allotment will be sold for private ownership, so no body corporates. You will have the freedom to develop your allotment as you please. You could plant fruit trees, start a veggie patch, a garden, or add full landscaping to your house and land package.

The designs will be unique and range in size, each including:
- Two to four bedrooms,
