The Acreage Upsizer Movement: Why Caboolture West is Drawing Families from Brisbane & the Coast

Strong rental returns, rapid land sales, and future growth make Caboolture West a hot spot for property investors in 2025.

AUSMAR's Acreage Collection offers affordable floor plans best suited for Upsizers tapping into the Caboolture West Property Market.

A growing number of families are leaving crowded suburbs and heading north for a better lifestyle. Caboolture West is emerging as a hotspot for upsizers - particularly those coming from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast - looking for more space, modern floorplans, and a better quality of life.

Many buyers are cashing out of $1M+ homes on small blocks in areas like North Lakes or Narangba and moving to Caboolture to reduce their mortgage or go mortgage free altogether. Others are selling larger rural properties affected by rezoning or development and are seeking low-maintenance blocks with cleverly designed homes that offer room for family connection and privacy.

For these upsizers, it's not just about land size - it’s about functionality and freedom. Floorplans with open living, dedicated media rooms, kids' retreats, and dual living capabilities are in high demand. AUSMAR offers a variety of larger family home designs that suit growing or blended households and provide the flexibility to evolve with changing needs.

While developers in Caboolture West typically offer traditional residential block sizes, there is a growing trend of local landowners subdividing larger existing acreage properties - creating 3000sqm parcels that allow new buyers to enjoy more generous space while staying connected to future infrastructure and lifestyle precincts.

Some buyers are even subdividing older acreage blocks in nearby areas to fund their next chapter. This creates a growing market of buyers who want a balance between space and manageability.

AUSMAR is actively partnering with developers like Stockland to support families upsizing into new estates such as Kinma Valley and Rivermont. These homes are currently in planning, but we already have clients who’ve secured land and are now customising homes designed to suit their lifestyle.

Caboolture West - now officially known as Waraba - is expected to grow rapidly over the next 40 years, evolving into a community of 70,000 residents. Developers including Lennium, Orchard, and Baycrown are delivering a wide mix of home and land options. With infrastructure already underway and a masterplan that prioritises livability, this region is the ideal fit for families looking to move up without moving far.

If you’re ready for a lifestyle upgrade, AUSMAR can help you build the family home you’ve been dreaming of - right here in Caboolture West.
