Make the move to your countryside dream home more quickly by investing in a Swanbuild modular home. ![Country road sign](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/1-7.png?width=600&name=1-7.png) Sydney University published a study in the Journal on Ageing in recent times and concluded that the country lifestyle is most likely better for your health. Noise from aircraft, rail and vehicles; high density housing; a lack of natural areas; inadequate transport and infrastructure design; were found to be detrimental to the constitution of city residents. Life in regional areas, on the other hand, means: better access to cheaper, fresh local produce; low density and more affordable housing; access to wide open spaces; a stronger sense of community; and a slower pace of life.  Naturally, the cleaner and more spacious environment of the country translates to better physical health. The more affordable lifestyle and laidback, nurturing communities means your mental wellbeing will benefit as well. Enjoy more quality time with your family as opposed to enduring the daily onslaught of rush hour traffic. Imagine arriving home to a house that mirrors this lifestyle. A home that can accommodate a growing family, takes in the views of a significant backyard and natural skyline. A home that you know if you open the windows, you will only be letting in sunlight and fresh air.  Swanbuild’s Modular Homes are the perfect choice for your country lifestyle. The homes are factory built and are therefore not delayed by weather. Swanbuild Homes can be custom built to suit your needs and property. They also use ecofriendly materials and the cost is more certain from the outset. Don’t wait forever to make the move to a healthier lifestyle. Invest in a Swanbuild Modular Home and get the keys to your dream country house more quickly than ever before.   [Home Design](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/topic/home-design) [Lifestyle](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/topic/lifestyle) [Tips](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/topic/tips) ## Related Posts ### [29, December, 2017 Smart Technology for Modular Homes](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/smart-technology-for-modular-homes) ### [5, February, 2020 Here’s how Swanbuild builds your modular home in six easy steps](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/build-your-modular-home-in-six-easy-steps) ### [16, December, 2025 Modular Myths Busted: The 5 Things People Get Wrong About Building A Modular Home](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/modular-myths-busted-the-5-things-people-get-wrong-about-building-a-modular-home) ![Accreditation logos 2025 9001](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Accreditation%20logos%202025%209001.png?width=83&height=160&name=Accreditation%20logos%202025%209001.png) ![Accreditation logos 2025 Green 14001](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Accreditation%20logos%202025%20Green%2014001.png?width=80&height=160&name=Accreditation%20logos%202025%20Green%2014001.png) ![Accreditation logos 2025 Yellow 45001](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Accreditation%20logos%202025%20Yellow%2045001.png?width=79&height=160&name=Accreditation%20logos%202025%20Yellow%2045001.png) Accreditations ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems ISO 14001:2015: Environmental Management System ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Building License # VIC Domestic: CDB-U 49079 VIC Commercial: CCB-U 62548 NSW: 260670C SA: BLD264723 Contact Details: Swan Hill: 210-214 Karinie St Swan Hill Victoria 3585 Bendigo: 45 Fairview Rd Kangaroo Flat Victoria, 3555 Phone: [**1800 008 024**](tel:1800%20008%20024) [Follow on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/swanbuildhomes) [Follow on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/swanbuild_homes) [Follow on Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/swanbuild) [Follow on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmDDRMUEn1A-jsNOplgoetQ) Email: [**sales@swanbuild.com.au**](mailto:sales@swanbuild.com.au) Hours: Monday - Friday: 8am-4:30pm [FURTHER ENQUIRIES](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/contact/) Quicklinks - [Virtual Tour](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/virtual-tour/) - [Our Story](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/our-story/) - [Commercial Buildings](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/commercial-buildings/) - [Internal Photos](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/internal-photos/) - [External Photos](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/external-photos/) Copyright 2021 © Swanbuild
