Benjamin & James’ First Home Journey
4 February 2026
Finding Their Place at Rivermark
Tucked along the river, surrounded by towering gums and a whole lot of calm, Rivermark instantly felt right for Benjamin and James.
It wasn’t just the location, it was the lifestyle.
A place where quiet mornings meet weekend adventures. Where nature, space and convenience all come together. And where their first home story could begin.
A Lifestyle That Just Fits
What sealed the deal for Benjamin and James was Rivermark’s peaceful, established feel, without feeling far from everything else.
Close to the city where they both work, yet far enough to slow things down, Rivermark gives them the best of both worlds. Add in riverside walks, nearby vineyards, the Guildford café strip and easy access to the hills for weekend hikes, and it quickly became clear: this was home.
As they put it best:
“We love all the surrounding amenities — the river, vineyards galore, the Guildford strip, and being close to the hills for weekend hikes.”
Sounds pretty perfect, right?
Building Their First Home with B1 Homes
When it came time to choose a builder, Benjamin and James knew they wanted a team they could trust, especially for such a big milestone.
They chose to build their first home with B1 Homes, selecting a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom design with a generous backyard, ideal for entertaining friends and giving their very good boy, Oscar, plenty of room to run.
They also opted for the Waterwise rear landscaping sustainability incentive, helping create an outdoor space that’s both beautiful and future-friendly.
A Smooth Start with the Right Support
The journey into Rivermark was made even easier thanks to Estate Manager Zoey, whose friendly, supportive approach helped Benjamin and James feel confident every step of the way.
From finding the right lot to ticking off all the boxes for their future home, Zoey’s guidance made the process feel exciting, not overwhelming.
