Most granny flats still look like an afterthought bolted onto the back fence. That’s not what we build. A genuinely luxury granny flat in Melbourne should feel like a home in its own right, not a smaller, lesser version of the main house, and that distinction shapes every decision we make on a Luxe build.
What “Luxury” Actually Means on a G-Flat™
Innovista’s Luxe tier is our top-of-range G-Flat™, and it earns that position through specifics, not marketing language. At $265,000 turnkey for a 60m² 2 bed/1 bath layout, it’s our best seller for a reason: 3m ceilings, skylights in both the kitchen and bathroom, a curved kitchen island with Bosch appliances, a frameless walk-in shower, floor-to-ceiling tiles with underfloor heating in the bathroom, multi-head air conditioning to the living area and both bedrooms, and decking to the front and side. Ceiling height alone changes how a 60m² footprint feels day to day, which is worth reading more about in our guide to granny flat ceiling heights.
The Standard Inclusions Behind Every Tier
That Luxe-specific detail sits on top of what comes standard across every tier we build, not as an upgrade path: stone benchtops, hybrid SPC flooring, double-glazed thermally broken windows, soft-close cabinetry, Colorbond fascia and gutters, James Hardie Axon cladding, a reverse cycle split system, a European laundry, and a 10-year structural warranty. Materials are sourced from Australia and the best suppliers around the world, and every build carries a 6-month maintenance guarantee on top of the warranty.

Why Buyers Choose Luxe
Luxury doesn’t have to mean lower practicality. A well-finished Luxe build tends to command stronger rental interest and broader resale appeal than a stripped-back budget dwelling, which is part of why it’s become our most requested package. If you want the fuller picture on how a premium finish plays into rent, our article on premium features and higher rents covers the numbers in more depth.
Pricing, Timeframes and What’s Included
Pricing is turnkey, meaning it includes the building permit, site connection up to 10m, and the full build, subject to your site conditions. Build time runs around five months end to end, from sign-off to handover. Want an extra bed or bathroom added to the Luxe layout? That’s a $15,000 adjustment on top of the base price.
See It Before You Decide
The fastest way to judge finish quality is to see it in person rather than take our word for it. Our Luxe series display home in Ferntree Gully is open for walkthroughs, and we’d recommend checking what to look for on a display home tour before you go, so you know exactly what to inspect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Luxe tier worth the extra cost over Signature? It depends on your goals. Luxe adds 3m ceilings, dual skylights, Bosch appliances and multi-head air conditioning, which suit buyers prioritising rental appeal or long-term comfort. Signature remains excellent value if your priority is a lower entry price with strong standard inclusions.
Can I customise the Luxe floor plan? Luxe is available across our full floor plan range, including Stella, Aurora, Lana 2 and Sirius, so you can pair the finish level with the layout that suits your block.
Does the Luxe price include the building permit? Yes. Every Innovista price is turnkey, covering the building permit and site connection up to 10m, subject to site conditions.
