Waldara Coastal Barn

Where Country Meets Coast: Angles, Arches & Everything in Between

When this young family set out to build their dream home, they were drawn to the character of a barn-style design softened with subtle coastal influences. Located in the heart of Victoria’s gourmet wine region, the vision was clear from the beginning: create a home that feels equally suited to quiet everyday rituals and larger family gatherings.

The result is a thoughtfully designed custom home that captures both beauty and balance. From morning light streaming into the kitchen to winter evenings by the woodfire and long summer afternoons spent by the pool positioned between the home’s two wings, each space has been designed to enhance the way this family lives.

The façade makes an immediate impression, defined by three symmetrical peaks that give the home its signature silhouette. A crisp combination of painted brick and vertical groove cladding is grounded by dark window frames and a charcoal roofline, while expansive glazing draws natural light deep into the interiors and frames views of the surrounding landscape.

Luxury coastal farmhouse kitchen with cathedral style ceilings and a half arch entryway into the butlers pantry.

Inside, the kitchen forms the heart of the home. Travertine-style crazy pave flooring and a farmhouse sink reference its country inspiration, while stone benchtops that extend into the splashback, brushed brass hardware and soft undercabinet lighting introduce a refined edge. Cathedral ceilings create volume, balanced by a curved rangehood and arched entry to the butler’s pantry that gently soften the architectural lines.

The master suite continues this interplay of structure and softness. Soaring ceilings add drama, while the ensuite layers crisp paneling and angular tiles with curved tapware, rounded mirrors and a sculptural freestanding bath. Backlit mirrors complete the space with a calm, spa-like ambience.

This double shower is true luxury - square stone tiles, brushed brass tapware, a beautiful blend of mixing straight and angular lines with soft, round curves.

Each additional bathroom carries its own distinct tone, from warm blush finishes with brass accents to timeless stone textures and clean-lined simplicity.

Throughout the home, every detail has been carefully considered to create a space where this family can live, grow and build lasting memories.
