This development has been carefully planned so that every architecturally-crafted home benefits from the unique surroundings. Lakes, ponds, parkland, walking tracks - all cleverly designed to work with the natural fall of the land and merge your home with the natural environment.
Lush greenery stretches as far as the eye can see and you will never tire of the beautiful vista, the open spaces and what seems to be the freshest of country air. Each home at Canterbury Hills has been designed by award winning architects to cater to your lifestyle, five-star energy ratings and attractive streetscapes with no visible power lines are key components.
The Townshend Homes Group Design Panel reviews all plans to ensure they meet the building covenants and guarantee that all properties continue to meet the developer's high standards. Choose from a range of boutique homes in contemporary or traditional styling, all featuring plenty of space to move inside and out.
A perfectly planned community that will eventually host over 1000 families, at Canterbury Hills you're never far from the beauty of water. The estate is designed around the central Great Lake, ponds, creeks and cascading waterfalls. This fertile natural habitat attracts scores of birds and native wildlife. Walk along any of the tracks and you'll be delighted by the sights and sounds of nature.
