The Peak Heathwood at a glance
The Peak is a masterplanned house and land community at 172 Wadeville Street, Heathwood, in the southern suburbs of Brisbane City. Turnkey packages start from $1,089,900, built by the builder under fixed-price building contracts, with titled lots listed as available on the The Peak listing.
This guide sets out what the starting price covers, the homes and inclusions, the measured distances to schools, shops and rail, and the steps in buying house and land in Brisbane's south. Anyone searching for the estate by name will find the current lots, floorplans and prices on the listing page, which updates as stock changes.
Pricing and how to get current figures
The starting price at The Peak is $1,089,900. Individual package prices vary by lot, by home design and by facade, and they move as the builder updates its price list. For that reason this review quotes the entry price only. The listing page shows each available lot with its current package price, and our team can send the latest price list and floorplans on request.
A turnkey package bundles the land, the home, driveway, fencing and landscaping into one contract sum, so the figure you finance is the figure on the contract. When comparing two lots, look at the lot position, the orientation of the backyard and the facade chosen, because these account for most of the price difference between packages of the same design.
Ask for the full inclusions schedule in writing before you commit. Prices in any online guide, including this one, are a starting point; the contract is the document that counts. A solicitor can review both the land contract and the building contract before you sign.
The homes and their inclusions
One builder is named on the listing. The released floorplans include the Barrett, Gilmour and Lyndon designs, ranging from four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes to a five-bedroom plan, each with a double garage. Several lots carry the Barrett design, so buyers can compare the same home on different blocks and see how lot shape changes the backyard.
The listing describes layouts with ground-floor guest suites, open-plan central living and landscaped backyards, planned with multi-generational households in mind. Standard specifications listed for the estate include:
- 2590mm raised ceiling heights
- Kitchens with Caesarstone benchtops and 900mm cooking appliances
- Ducted or multi-split climate control
- Landscaping with turf, fencing, driveway and letterbox
Specifications can differ between designs, so check which items apply to the plan you are considering. Our guide to vetting developers and builders lists the questions worth putting to any builder, from licence and warranty details to how variations are handled.
Elevation is one of the features the listing leans on, describing hillside topography with scenic views and afternoon breezes. Because lots differ in aspect and slope, it is worth walking the specific block with the sales team and asking to see the survey and the engineering plans for the lot you shortlist. Those documents show levels, retaining requirements and where services connect, all of which affect the finished backyard.
Location and measured distances
Heathwood sits in Brisbane's south, with Forest Lake to the east and the Logan Motorway and Centenary Highway corridors close by. The listing places The Peak on elevated ground overlooking native bushland reserves, next to Forest Lake. These are the measured distances from the estate:

Hospital access is through QEII Jubilee Hospital & Emergency, and Griffith University Nathan Campus is the closest major university.
Primary schooling is the closest of these, with Pallara State School within walking distance. Secondary options and daily shopping sit a few minutes away by car around Forest Lake, and Richlands station gives access to the Brisbane rail network.
The Heathwood and Pallara area
The Australian Bureau of Statistics recorded 16,586 residents in Pallara and Willawong at June 2025, an increase of 7.4% over the previous 12 months. That reflects a suburb where new housing is still being delivered alongside established streets.
The Peak is described as an infill community inside the Brisbane City boundary, which places it under Brisbane City Council rather than a neighbouring council. If you are weighing it against other regions, our comparison of Brisbane and the Gold Coast sets out how the two markets differ in price points, lifestyle and infrastructure.
How buying house and land works
A house and land purchase in Queensland usually involves two contracts: one for the land with the developer and one for the home with the builder. Settlement of the land normally comes before construction starts, and progress payments are then made as building stages are completed. Lenders treat this structure differently from an established home, so speak with a broker early about how a construction loan would be arranged.
Deposit support can come from several places. Our guides cover the Family Home Guarantee, the First Home Super Saver Scheme and gifting or lending a deposit. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, so confirm the details with a broker or adviser.
Before signing, ask for the estate's design guidelines, the plan of subdivision and the building contract inclusions, and have a solicitor review them.
