Land in Australia
There are 330 land listings in Australia on RealEstateAbroad, around 4% of 8,652. Buying a block is one of the more accessible entry points for foreign buyers, but it comes with a build obligation that catches many people out.
Pricing in context
The median asking price across all Australian listings is €428,305, with a middle half from €294,848 to €605,214. Land prices rarely follow these figures: a suburban block in a growth corridor may cost far less than a house, while a coastal plot can match one. Compare the price per square metre of the block with similar sales in the same suburb or locality.
The nationwide median per square metre of €2,776 mixes houses and flats and should not be used for land.
The vacant land rule
Foreign persons can usually buy vacant residential land with FIRB approval, but conditions normally require development to start within a set time frame. Failing to build can lead to forced sale. Rules and fees change, so a solicitor should read the approval conditions before contracts are signed. Our Australia buying guide explains the general process.

Where land is listed
Surfers Paradise is our one linked city, but land listings extend across suburban estates and rural areas. See the Australia page for all locations. Once built, a plot becomes a house; if you prefer ready-made, review apartments.
Due diligence for blocks
- Zoning and overlays. Council planning schemes decide what can be built; check flood, bushfire and heritage overlays.
- Services. Water, sewerage and power may not be connected on rural blocks.
- Title. Confirm the block is registered, with no unregistered subdivision.
- Soil and slope. A site report can reveal costly foundations.
- Developer estates. Estate covenants control design and timing.

Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy land in Australia?
Yes in many cases, with FIRB approval and a requirement to build. Confirm the latest terms with a solicitor.
What happens if I do not build?
You may breach the approval conditions, which can result in penalties or a forced sale. Plan finance for construction.
Is rural land different?
Yes. Agricultural land has separate thresholds and approvals, and foreign ownership is tracked in a national register.
Is land a good investment?
Land produces no income while you hold it and carries council rates, land tax and holding costs. Value depends on infrastructure, zoning changes and local demand, so treat it as a long-term position and model a realistic build budget before purchase.
How do I get construction finance?
Banks lend on staged drawdowns but are cautious with non-residents. See the financing guide.
