Roleystone Rural Project – Custom Hamptons Countruy Home in Roleystone

Set high among the rolling hills of Roleystone, this stunning rural residence captures sweeping views across established eucalyptus trees and picturesque bushland surrounds.

Designed as a Hamptons-meets-country farmhouse, this 431sqm custom family home was created entirely around lifestyle. The owners knew the look and feel they wanted — timeless, relaxed and welcoming — and together we refined the design until every element aligned beautifully with their vision.

The result is a warm, elevated farmhouse that feels both refined and deeply connected to its natural setting.

The Vision

The brief was clear:

• A custom farmhouse designed around family living

• High ceilings and open, light-filled spaces

• Classic materials with country warmth

• Seamless indoor-outdoor connection

• Practical solutions for acreage living

While the design evolved through several revisions, the collaborative process ensured the final home reflected exactly how the family wanted to live — now and into the future.

Elevated Design & Street Appeal

Positioned on a stunning hillside site, the home embraces its rural surroundings.

Key exterior features include:

• Feature stone façade detailing

• Expansive verandah overlooking Roleystone views

• Classic farmhouse proportions

• BAL 12.5 bushfire-rated construction

The verandah creates a beautiful vantage point to take in the landscape while reinforcing the home’s timeless country character.

Light, Space & Volume

Inside, soaring high ceilings enhance the sense of openness throughout the home.

Highlights include:

• Recessed 34-course ceilings to the family, dining and entry

• Generous proportions across all living areas

• Abundant natural light throughout

The scale of the central living zone — an impressive 13.7m x 6.8m — creates a grand yet welcoming heart of the home, ideal for entertaining and everyday family life.

The Heart of the Home – Kitchen & Living

At the centre of the home sits a beautifully appointed kitchen overlooking the expansive family and dining area.

Features include:

• Extensive cabinetry with maximum storage

• Pot drawers for practical functionality

• Large open shelving and drawers to the scullery/pantry

• Skylight to the scullery for added natural light

• Seamless connection to living and outdoor areas

The adjoining scullery keeps preparation and storage discreet, maintaining a clean, Hamptons-inspired aesthetic in the main kitchen space.

Designed for Family Living

This custom farmhouse in Roleystone includes:

• 4 generous double bedrooms

• Theatre room

• Activity space

• Dedicated study

• Additional powder room with external access

The extra powder room was thoughtfully designed for future outdoor entertaining and children coming in from outside — keeping the main living areas clean and practical for acreage life.

Quality Inclusions

Throughout the home, attention to detail elevates the finish:

• Nosings and skirting boards throughout (excluding robes and wet areas)

• Electric boosted solar hot water system

• Durable, family-friendly finishes

• Thoughtful zoning of private and shared spaces

Every element was selected to balance elegance with everyday functionality.
