Gingin registered tremendous growth in buyer demand, drawing city dwellers in droves.

The lure of rural living, which offers more bang for the buck than the capital city Perth, has seen many buyers bid farewell to city life.

Gingin – one of Western Australian’s oldest towns – has experienced a remarkable growth in buyer demand in the last 12 months.

It is ranked second Australia-wide as the most popular place for capital city movers to regional rural areas, recording a whopping 273.7 per cent in net inflow, according to Commonwealth Bank and Regional Australia Institute’s Regional Movers Index report for the June 2025 quarter.

“It is drawing city dwellers in droves,” Claymont Chairman Jerry Goh said.

“This is a tremendous growth rate for a traditional regional town like Gingin, and I feel proud of the town’s achievement that it has gained national recognition as a very popular rural lifestyle destination.

“It is testament to the popularity of our development in Country Heights Estate near Gingin.”

Country Heights Estate is where dreams meet the rolling valleys. Imagine waking each morning to the sound of birdsong drifting through towering gum trees, the soft glow of sunrise stretching across rolling hills and the peace which only wide open country spaces can bring.

At this estate, this is not just a dream – it is everyday life.

Nestled in the breathtaking Cheriton Valley, Country Heights Estate offers families, couples and retirees a rare chance to claim a true country lifestyle while staying comfortably at the fringe of Perth with excellent accessibility.

Just under an hour from Perth Airport or the Perth metropolitan area, the drive here feels like a gentle exhale – no red lights, no gridlock, just open roads leading you to fresh air, space and freedom.

With plenty of space to breathe and ample room to grow, every homesite at Country Heights Estate is more than one hectare in size – over 25 times larger than the average suburban block.

It is room for your kids to build cubby houses, for dogs to run free, for orchards and vegetable gardens to thrive or simply for you to soak in uninterrupted views of sweeping valleys.

“You get excellent value, as you do not pay more than an average suburban lot, making it an excellent choice to grow your roots here with your family,” Mr Goh said.

“The prices will likely continue to escalate from here due to higher civil construction costs.”

Mr Goh said the blocks were truly special.

“Developed to an exceptional standard with the highest-speed internet, reticulated water, power, sealed roads and fencing, large fully serviced rural homesites with modern conveniences are almost too rare to find this close to Perth,” he said.

“Families can enjoy the best of both worlds – a big country block with plenty of fresh air and open country spaces without sacrificing excellent accessibility via Tonkin and Brand highways to the airport and Perth metropolitan area.”

Yet, the conveniences are such that school buses will pick up your kids at designated bus zones in the estate to school in the Gingin townsite or high schools in the northern Perth suburbs.

The historic township of Gingin is less than 10 minutes away, offering schools, cafes, shops, medical care, a bank, a post office, a hotel and sporting clubs like a nine-hole golf club, a huge aquatic centre with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, numerous tennis courts, a bowling green and a gym.

Coastal escapes are also close at hand, with Lancelin, Seabird and Guilderton all nearby for weekends by the ocean or on Moore River.

Stages 1-3, totalling 172 lots, have completely sold out, with many families already settling into their dream rural lifestyle homes.

Stage 4 with 55 lots brings in the next chapter and is now open for expressions of interest from $385,000.

Construction has commenced, with completion for Stage 4A expected in the March 2026 quarter, with the balance in the June 2026 quarter.

An idyllic picture-perfect countryside awaits – an exclusive country address with 10,000sqm lots from $385,000, offering the best of country living on Perth’s fringe.
