2026-02-19

For many buyers, building a new home often means moving further from the amenities, connections and lifestyle they know. At Marran Run, you don’t have to compromise.

Located in the heart of Thomastown, Marran Run offers a rare opportunity to build a brand-new home within one of Melbourne’s most established northern suburbs. Enjoy the benefits of modern living while staying connected to existing schools, shopping centres, parks, public transport and everyday conveniences.

When you build new at Marran Run, you can enjoy:

  • A Modern Home Designed for Today – Open-plan living, contemporary finishes and thoughtful layouts designed to suit modern lifestyles.
  • Greater Energy Efficiency – New homes are built to current standards, helping improve comfort and reduce ongoing energy costs.
  • Potential Stamp Duty Savings – Pay stamp duty on the land component only, which may result in significant savings compared to purchasing an established home.
  • Less Maintenance and No Renovation Costs – Everything is brand new, reducing the need for immediate repairs, upgrades or costly renovations.
  • The Best of Both Worlds – Enjoy the benefits of a new home while living within an established community with existing infrastructure and amenities.

Marran Run is a unique opportunity to secure land in a location where new housing opportunities are increasingly limited. Build the home you want, without giving up the convenience of an established neighbourhood.
