Manjimup Home Builders

The ground around Manjimup grows orchards, dairy pasture and plantation timber, and on the town edges the blocks stay treed, so we can help you select the perfect home for the block you have. The Rural Building Co. has been creating homes across regional Western Australia since 1992, from Kalbarri in the north to Albany in the south. As an award-winning WA builder, proudly built by WA Country Builders (BC11422), we design for people who value craftsmanship, authenticity, and a connection to the land.

Manjimup sits 307 kilometres south of Perth in the South West, with 4,279 people at the 2021 Census. It is the regional centre for a shire of 7,027 square kilometres and 9,093 residents, so a family gets a main street, a hospital and Manjimup Senior High School on Rutherford Street without leaving town. The Pink Lady apple was created here in 1973.

Blocks come in two shapes. There are serviced lots in and around the townsite, and there are the orchard, dairy and plantation holdings spread across the shire, where acreage and working-farm land dominates by area. On the town edges the blocks are treed. Access, distance from services and siteworks, the work to prepare your block before the build starts, all connect back to that choice, so it pays to plan this early.

Our designs are drawn for both types of block. A farmhouse form with wide verandahs for an open paddock, a tighter plan for a townsite lot, and living areas that hold the northern sun through winter. Whether it is a family home or the main house on a working block, we build for your land.

Deanmill and Jardee are small settlements immediately around the Manjimup townsite, close enough that the town’s school, hospital and main street are a short drive away.

Lots here are modest and largely cleared, so a compact farmhouse plan works well for most families. The Kingston or The Evolution Farmhouse both suit a level site of this size.

Palgarup and Dingup are rural localities in the Shire of Manjimup, part of the farmland, orchard and dairy country that makes up most of the shire’s 7,027 square kilometres.

This is paddock-scale land, so the house usually sits well back from the road with sheds and stock of its own. The Country House or The Argyle are drawn for exactly that kind of open site.

Perup is one of the shire’s bush localities, where the block usually comes treed and the outlook is canopy rather than paddock.

Treed land limits how much you can clear, which shapes both the footprint and the access track. The Forest View or The Bushland Retreat are drawn for blocks where the trees stay.

Northcliffe is a separate locality in the Shire of Manjimup with rural land around it, and it has a page of its own on our site if your block is out that way.

It is far enough out that access and delivery matter to your build cost, so raise them at your site assessment. The Hinterland Retreat suits a large holding, The Forest View a treed one.

Pemberton is the other main town in the Shire of Manjimup, a smaller settlement with its own page on our site if that is where you are looking.

Blocks there are tighter and more heavily treed than Manjimup’s farm country. The Karridale Retreat or The Bushland Retreat suit those sites better than a wide farmhouse plan.

North of Manjimup on the Blackwood River, Bridgetown is the other service town in the Warren Blackwood, the part of the South West made up of the Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Manjimup, Nannup and Boyup Brook shires.

Blocks there are rarely flat, so slope is the first thing we look at. The Valley View or The Marri View suit ground that falls away toward the river.
