Contemporary Rural Living

Designed as a tranquil rural retreat for an international client, this impressive contemporary custom home has been expertly designed and constructed to enable the occupants to immerse themselves in the gorgeous natural surroundings. Crafted by multi-award winning Victorian builder Hedger Constructions, the thoughtful open-plan layout enhances the sense of space and calm, while expansive double-glazed windows bring the beauty of the countryside into every corner of the home.

Designed for low maintenance and finished with quality materials and craftsmanship, this contemporary rural home incorporates unique features to create a striking and distinctive modern aesthetic.

At its core is an impressive entertaining galleria, with soaring 4.3m ceilings and exposed steel frames, the space feels expansive and bright – flooded in natural light thanks to floor to ceiling glazing which create a strong connection to the outdoor environment.

Polished concrete floors flow seamlessly through the open-plan space into the modern  kitchen, which features an abundance of storage, stainless steel appliances, a custom rangehood, and a huge island bench for easy casual dining. The kitchen also includes a walk-in butler’s pantry, precision joinery, and plenty of room to host large gatherings. Its connection to the main living areas enable easy interaction with guests during meal preparation.

A striking feature of the this stylish residence is a rustic bluestone feature wall which houses a traditional open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space to gather in colder months.

Privacy for both owners and guests has been cleverly ensured in this contemporary rural home by creating separate zones on either side of the central entertaining galleria. Each wing includes bedrooms with private ensuites, and separate entrances. Advanced security systems and thoughtfully chosen fixtures  privacy. The design also maximises stunning views of the surrounding natural landscape from every part of the home.

For daily ease, the cellar serves as both a games room and a social retreat. Equipped with an air circulation system, it ensures year-round comfort in any season.
