Timeless Country Living Homes

At McDonald Jones Homes, we specialise in country style homes. Some people think of an expensive country home as somewhere residing kilometres away from the city – but rest assured, a country home can be a affordable house as well as a luxurious one. 

What Landscapes Are Suited to Country Style Homes?

Country style homes are ideally suited to, as the name suggests, the country. However, this doesn’t have to be inaccessibly remote. The main thing you need for an affordable country house is a block of land with a suitable amount of acreage. There are three main considerations here.

Firstly, a country home should be situated deep enough into the block that there’s a decent amount of buffer between your home and surrounding blocks and roads. The sense of subtle seclusion is key to country style living.

Secondly, a beautiful country landscape to admire is a big part of the reason you’d choose a country home in the first place – so backdrop scenery (perhaps mountains or trees) is a must.

Finally, country style homes are based on the idea of space and freedom – so you want a block big enough to accommodate the vast layout of a country home. You can’t fit a spacious home into a tiny block.

A Sense of Space and Freedom

A country style home affords you the magic of wide-open spaces, big blue skies, and a sense of space and freedom. At McDonald Jones Homes, we offer a range of luxury acreage home designs ideally suited to take advantage of wide rural lots. Our homes feature grand facades, expansive windows, and open-plan layouts where the living spaces flow into one another. At the same time, we are able to customise our floor plans to suit any family’s unique needs.

What Extra Advantages Does a Country Style Home Have?

In addition to the unique opportunities that the country house itself affords in terms of space and usability, there are many other benefits that are included. Choosing a rural block with sufficient acreage lets you design and create the garden you’ve always dreamed of. Imagine a beautiful garden in which to host lunches or an afternoon tea. Alternatively, build a vegetable patch to grow fresh vegetables and fruit straight from the garden and onto the table! If you’re an animal lover, a more rural block gives you the space that your cats and dogs will love. Imagine how much happier your pets will be with wide-open space rather than cramped into an urban environment.

The Bronte

Explore our original architecturally designed acreage home from Stuart Everitt - The Bronte. The perfect choice for wide, acreage blocks, this is lavish, single-storey country living at its finest.

The Bronte is a home that immediately draws you in and envelopes you in its atmosphere of warmth and welcome. Brought to life by the expansive windows and doors opening to the outside and the spacious optional alfresco, the harmony of the family/living and dining area make it an inviting, multifunctional hub for everyday family life, as well as for entertaining on any scale.

Being in the kitchen of the Bronte is a pleasure for everyone – including the chef. Located just off the dining area, the spacious gourmet kitchen offers expansive bench space, a large pantry for stocking the essentials, and a wide window overlooking the vistas of your new home.

The Hermitage

With every space designed to inspire and enhance the way you live, the Hermitage is a home that will always be a symbol of everything your family has achieved together.

It’s here in the spacious, free-flowing areas of the Hermitage your family will create memories and share all the magic moments that make a house a home.

The Hermitage exudes welcome and makes family and friends want to linger. Naturally, the heart of the home is the airy and light-filled family/living and dining zone which opens to the inviting optional alfresco to create a spacious indoor/outdoor area. The stunning gourmet kitchen, with its wide stretches of bench space, is a sanctuary for long chats over cups of tea, a hub for busy mornings and the nerve centre for creating delicious family meals.
