If you’ve been to Echuca and experienced the unique character and atmosphere of this border town in northern Victoria, you may be starting to wonder about relocating here. Situated on the banks of the iconic Murray River across from the township of Moama in NSW, Echuca beckons. So, you may be wondering how to go about building your new home here.

JG King Homes plays an important role in this region, building sturdy, bushfire-resistant homes with high energy efficiency standards to protect you and your family. We are some of the best new home builders in Echuca and Moama.

But first, let’s review the reasons why building your home in the Echuca and Moama region should be a serious consideration.

Why Choose Echuca for Your Next Home?

People are increasingly attracted to the lifestyle benefits of this town, which is home to a picturesque river setting and a small community. While the Echuca population is small (currently numbering approximately 15,000 residents), it has lots of great attractions for tourists, which also provides fun things to do for Echuca locals. You could say it is a hidden gem, and many families are only now beginning to uncover it as a great place to settle in.

House and Land Packages in Echuca

JG King Homes is not just another home builder. We understand the risks of weather events such as bushfires and have gained our great reputation by building steel-framed, 7-star energy-efficient homes that are bushfire resistant.

We offer house and land packages in Echuca at the McMahons Place Estate and the Yallarah Estate, a growing contemporary community that will grow to more than 2000 homesites. If you’re looking to build on the other side of the river, why not consider the Maidens Green Estate in Moama?

Things to Do and See in Echuca

Echuca is a place where you will find a balance of peaceful living and local entertainment. There are many things to do in Echuca: attractions to explore and activities to participate in.

Set on the historic Murray River is the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre. Forming part of the original Echuca wharf, it not only holds exhibitions of the river trade of the 19th century but is the departure point for paddle steamers.
