Tucked into the peaceful Oldbury landscape, this custom-designed home has all the hallmarks of a Rural Building Co. classic - bush poles, wide verandahs and a relaxed, country feel.

Custom cladding and corrugated steel give it that true character, while inside, vaulted ceilings and gabled windows flood the space with natural light.

The open-plan kitchen and living area flows out to the alfresco, perfect for easy entertaining or quiet mornings. A hidden scullery, walk-in pantry and cleverly placed laundry make day-to-day living simple and functional.

This is a home built for space, comfort and connection to the land.

There’s something about this space that just feels right. The warmth of exposed brick, a quiet moment preparing dinner, and the simple joy of being home with your dog.

At The Rural Building Co., we understand; homes should be a reflection of who you are - a place where everyday life feels both comfortable and authentic.
