Our history

Live Green Homes was created in 2022 to support the ever-growing need for environmentally friendly homes in Geelong, the Surf Coast, and the Bellarine Peninsula. Formerly Hotondo Homes Ocean Grove, the Live Green Homes brand remains a local family-owned business, employing a local team and using local trades.

During the Hotondo Homes Ocean Grove era, the team worked with many clients who were keen to improve design and energy efficiency in new homes. Recognizing the need for high-quality, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly custom homes, Live Green Homes was created.

As a local family owned business, we pride ourselves on supporting and being actively engaged in, our local community.
