Now more than ever, people are looking for a tree change – choosing to leave stressful city living behind and embrace a more laidback lifestyle on acreage, away from the hustle and bustle. Acreage living has so many benefits. A quiet neighbourhood, fresh air, a relaxing environment, plus plenty of space to build your dream acreage home where your family can grow!
If you’re dreaming of a serene rural lifestyle, then an acreage home design is an absolute must. Acreage homes have a range of features designed to make the most of rural living, such as extra-large windows to take in the natural beauty, generous living and outdoor entertaining areas, ample storage, plus so much more.
It’s important to remember that the home design you build on a suburban block will be vastly different to the one you choose for an acreage block. So where can you find the perfect acreage home design to suit your lifestyle and your family’s needs?
Hallmark Homes have built over 1,000 properties in the past 40 years. And we are proud to present our latest acreage display home at The Fairways Kensington Grove. Ideally located in the beautiful Lockyer Valley, The Fairways is perfect for living a relaxed South East Queensland lifestyle, with 14-hectares of parkland, a medical centre, chemist, selection of convenience retailers – plus it’s only a short drive from Ipswich and Gatton. This exciting new community consists of prime acreage land, perfect for building a big family home, such as the functional Fairview 321 by Hallmark Homes. This brand-new display home is part of our new EDEN range of acreage homes, which will be officially launched later this year.
With plenty of room to move, the Fairview 321 is a spacious, yet functional home design featuring open plan family living areas, making it ideal for families of all sizes. Entertaining is a breeze with the large gourmet kitchen situated centrally within the home. The indoor living and kitchen connect seamlessly to the outdoor alfresco area, designed to take advantage of the great outdoors, and perfect for year-round entertaining with friends and family.
At one end of the home there are three generous bedrooms, perfect for the kids, plus an activity room ideal for games nights and slumber parties! The luxurious private master suite is situated away from the rest of the home in its own wing and has a large ensuite and walk-in robe; making it a true sanctuary. The home also has a study that can double as a work-from-home lifestyle setup, plus a separate large media room perfect for your favourite Netflix marathon. This beautiful acreage house plan from Hallmark Homes delivers a functional, practical and stylish design that will maximise your rural lifestyle. You can take a virtual tour of this fabulous Fairview 321 acreage home now.
With an extra wide block and a contemporary home design to match, it’s important to choose a façade with maximum street appeal. Hallmark Homes offer a selection of stylish façade options for our acreage homes, including Classic, Executive, Urban and the ever popular Hamptons look.
