This pared-back farmhouse sits in the idyllic Pink Lake corner of Esperance, complementing the surrounding landscape beautifully and sympathetically.

The classic homestead façade has been replaced and updated with neat, minimalist edges and smart urban styling. The elevation feels daring and architectural, making a big statement on a rural block, while retaining the magnificent farmhouse warmth and grandeur.

Inside there’s still all the space you’d expect in a country retreat, with a freeform living and dining area opening up to a super-sized alfresco. Big windows and huge glass doors let light and views stream in at every turn.

This is a home perfectly suited to relaxed family living. The kids will feel right at home in their own wing complete with three huge bedrooms, family bathroom, activity zone, and there’s plenty of space for guests, too.

Be the star of your own cooking extravaganza in the kitchen with its funky angled island bench, while keeping all the mess neatly out of sight in the large scullery and adjoining walk-in pantry.

A home theatre, study and luxurious master wing with a freestanding bath in the ensuite complete this fearlessly contemporary design.
