At Rural Building Co., we have spent decades designing and building homes across regional Western Australia that feel perfectly suited to their surroundings. Our homes are created for people who value craftsmanship, authenticity, and a deeper connection to the land.

Albany is one of the most beautiful and historically rich towns in the South West. Perched on the southern coastline, it offers rugged natural beauty, a mild climate, and a lifestyle that balances coastal living with country charm. From its breathtaking headlands and pristine beaches to its vibrant town centre and strong community spirit, Albany is a place where life moves at a gentler pace.

As a trusted builder in Albany, we understand what makes this region unique. The shifting light, the coastal winds, and the varied terrain all shape the way homes should be designed. At Rural Building Co., we draw inspiration from these natural elements to create homes that feel at home in the landscape. Whether you’re overlooking the Southern Ocean or nestled in the hills, we build for your surroundings and your lifestyle.

Our homes suit the rhythm of life in Albany, with thoughtful design, natural materials, and spaces that invite the outdoors in. Whether you are building a weekend retreat, a coastal family home, or a contemporary rural escape, we can help you create a home that truly belongs here.

Just a short drive west of Albany, Denmark is known for its towering forests, pristine beaches, and relaxed creative community. With its mix of coastline and country, Denmark offers a slower pace and a strong sense of belonging.

A home design such as The Tingle View or The Karridale Retreat suits Denmark beautifully. Our collection of home designs celebrate open spaces, natural textures, and light-filled interiors that blend effortlessly with the surrounding environment. They are homes that embrace the beauty of the South Coast lifestyle.

Set among rolling farmland and vineyards, Mount Barker offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with the convenience of being only 40 minutes from Albany. It is ideal for those who want space and tranquillity without losing access to modern comforts.

Designs like The Argyle or The Karridale Retreat work beautifully here. These homes bring together country character and modern living with large windows, verandahs, and considered living zones that suit a rural site.

Between Albany and Denmark, the areas of Torbay and Kronkup offer coastal views, bushland blocks, and a true sense of seclusion. Building here gives you the freedom to live surrounded by nature while still being close to town.

Homes such as The Daintree Retreat or The Blaxland Retreat suit these locations well. These designs make the most of views and natural light, using honest materials so the home sits gently in its setting.

Closer to town, Emu Point and Little Grove provide the perfect mix of seaside living and convenience. With sheltered beaches, walking trails, and nearby amenities, these locations are popular for families, retirees, and anyone seeking a peaceful coastal lifestyle.

A versatile design, such as The Gelorup, would suit these suburbs. These homes offer open plan living and generous outdoor areas that capture coastal breezes and make the most of relaxed seaside life.

Wherever you choose to build around Albany, Rural Building Co. is here to bring your vision to life. Every design we create reflects you and the essence of the region, authentic, natural, and deeply connected to the land and lifestyle that make the Great Southern so special.

To experience our designs in person, visit our South West display home. The Gelorup Retreat is a wonderful example of display homes that showcase our approach to rural and coastal living, with natural textures, considered detailing, and strong indoor-outdoor connections. The Darlington Display is another great example of our farmhouse-inspired design language.

Each display gives a clear sense of how our designs respond to coastal winds, site orientation, and local materials. Seeing a display home helps you imagine how a Rural Building Co. design can sit on your block in Albany or the Great Southern.
