Hilltop Courtyard House | Modern Australian Farmhouse with Vineyard Views

Set on a breathtaking 50-acre site overlooking vineyards and Western Port Bay, this modern home reinterprets the classic Australian Farmhouse. Designed around a central courtyard, the house offers protection from the coastal climate while creating a peaceful, private retreat.

With a layout that adapts to visiting family, the home seamlessly transforms from a one-bedroom pavilion to a spacious family residence. Thick planted walls, deep eaves, and garden-facing rooms offer both privacy and stunning views. Sustainable by design, the house collects all water from its expansive roof, with concrete water tanks used creatively throughout the landscape.
