By Austen Builders
Sited on 30ha of rolling land and surrounded by stunning rural views, it was essential that this four-bedroom homestead blend easily into the surrounding environment.
Materials were chosen to complement the country surrounds, including corrugated Colorsteel roof, board-and-batten cladding and natural stone columns.
The home was positioned to capture all day sun, with polished concrete floors (Firth RibRaft HotEdge) absorbing and storing heat from the sun rays.
Visitors enter via the kitchen and are greeted by raked ceilings and a schist feature wall behind the free-standing fire. Warm country charm flows through to the living areas. Each bathroom is furnished with custom vanity frames, rustic timber tops and stylish stone bowls.
