The Build

Five acres. One excavator. A family betting everything on Stillwood.

We call it Stillwood — five acres we bought below market value with one plan: manufacture equity through renovation, and turn it into the foundation for everything that comes next. Buy smart, renovate hard, revalue, refinance, repeat.

The strategy is a duplex layout — two dwellings, two income streams, one property. It's the same approach we're building our whole portfolio on, and Stillwood is the biggest test of it yet.

This isn't a polished renovation show. It's the real thing — the wins, the budget blowouts, the inspections that don't go to plan, the days everything goes right and the days nothing does. Luke's behind the excavator, Zoe's running the numbers and the cameras, and the kids are along for every bit of it.

New episodes of the Stillwood Reno Series drop fortnightly on YouTube — from the purchase, through every stage of the build, to (hopefully) profit.
