Designed by Landmark Homes North Shore Rodney

From the group home builder:

Set on a serene rural expanse, this 544m² residence reflects the charm of a country farmhouse, reimagined with modern distinction. 

Designed for a family who envisioned a substantial home in a picturesque rural setting, the architecture blends strong gable forms, expansive glazing and considered detailing to deliver a home that is both enduring and distinctive. 

White brick cladding contrasts with dark-shingled roofing, while dark timber-panelled garage doors and lattice-style joinery add depth, craftsmanship and character.

The owner’s brief called for a character-filled country manor with 45-degree pitched roofs, feature sills and lintels above windows and doors, and generous indoor–outdoor flow. 

Large bifold and French doors connect seamlessly to a covered alfresco area with a motorised louvre roof, ideally suited to entertaining. 

The home also incorporates three-car garaging for practical family living.

Inside, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home welcomes you with flowing, expansive spaces designed for comfort and functionality. 

Two generous living rooms cater to both relaxed family moments and entertaining alike, complemented by two gas fireplaces with stone hearths and surrounds for a cosy yet open atmosphere. 

A separate playroom provides flexibility for children, while an additional attic room offers scope for future development.

 High-stud ceilings enhance the sense of scale, and a moody, elegant home office delivers a touch of refinement.

The garage entrance flows through a well-planned laundry and mudroom to the scullery, which opens into a large, character-filled kitchen. 

Here, a freestanding range, pot filler, brass finishes, Calacatta stone benchtops, panelled cabinetry and a butler’s sink combine classic craftsmanship with contemporary function. 

A sophisticated home bar adds further finesse, featuring a bar fridge, sink, antique glass splashbacks, stone tops and LED lighting.

The grand entrance sets the tone, with an open mezzanine, soaring ceilings and statement feature pendants. 

The stairwell reinforces the home’s refinement, with crafted wooden newel posts, a natural textured wool carpet runner, wrought iron balusters and solid timber handrails.

Bathrooms continue the theme of everyday luxury with double vanities, marble-look porcelain tiles and traditional chrome tapware – walk-in showers, large mirrors and stand-out wall lights also feature. 

A personality-plus powder room, enhanced with dark panelling and designer wallpaper, balances traditional style with modern fittings. 

The guest bedroom, located in its own private wing, enjoys additional privacy with a dedicated ensuite and direct outdoor access.

Beyond the home, manicured gardens and a vast outdoor area make the most of the picturesque rural backdrop. 

With its generous proportions, serene atmosphere and quiet composure, this home offers a lifestyle that is both luxurious and entirely at ease – a true reflection of the owner’s vision for family living in a country setting.
