THEY’RE the first family - Indi Abbott and Nathan Murphy and their 14-month old daughter Isla at the weekend moved into their new home at the Bridgewater Rise Estate.
Construction of the home started in January and another four new houses at the Loddon Shire’s first major residential estate are also nearing completion.
Work is expected to start on another two new houses within weeks.
Indi said the family was excited to be in their new home, arriving at Bridgewater Rise days before brother Billy is expected to move into his home that is part of stage one of the development.
Nathan, a bricklayer, will put his finishing touches to the property “after the boxes are all emptied”. He plans to build the letterbox.
Real estate agent Drew Stratton, of McKean McGregor, said more lots at Bridgewater Rise were expected to be titled within weeks.
“Interest in stages two and three released late last year is picking up again,” Mr Stratton said.
“People looking to move to Bridgewater are seeing all the activity of new homes being built and that has generated more inquiries.”
Mr Stratton has said that Bridgewater Rise was proving popular with young families.
