Dennis Family Homes is proud to unveil three brand-new homestead designs— Northampton 23, Melrose 36, and Augusta 37, —crafted with regional buyers in mind. Ideal for wider blocks, these homes are perfectly suited for families in areas like Ballarat, Echuca, Geelong, Warrnambool, Shepparton, and surrounding areas who are looking for spacious, single-level living.

Peter Martin, Western Regional Manager at Dennis Family Homes, believes these home designs are what customers have been looking for.

“The Dennis Family Homes design team have listened to our customers feedback and brought to market the designs they’ve asked for,” Peter said. “People looking to build a new home have some fantastic choices available in our new acreage products that are available now.”

Northampton 23

From our Aspiration Series, and for those seeking a smart, compact design, the Northampton 23 is the perfect solution.

“This design is great for those wanting the lifestyle without all the space,” Peter said of the Northampton. “The home provides a ranch style and look that can be applied to wider lots or those corner lots that are still to be found in town. All while including 4 bedrooms and a central living area that fulfils the family requirements.”

Despite its smaller footprint, this home maximises space for family living. The master suite is a retreat at the front of the home, while a dedicated wing offers three additional bedrooms, all located around a central bathroom and separate wet corner —ideal for families with growing children.

The kitchen, meals, and family area form the heart of the home, featuring a butler’s pantry that offers plenty of storage and functionality. The open-plan design ensures that the family can gather and connect in a welcoming, spacious environment, while still allowing for individual privacy.

Melrose 36

The Melrose 36 is designed with growing families in mind, offering flexibility and comfort. Part of our Inspirations Series, all four bedrooms are located together in one zone, providing a private sanctuary away from the bustling family hub.

“The family and meals area provides a central location in the home for dinner parties and special family occasions,” Peter highlights. “The home also includes the option to entertain inside or move outside under the large alfresco area. When a little bit of peace is required, the ample living area can provide that.”

The luxurious master suite, complete with an ensuite and walk-in robe, ensures parents have a peaceful retreat, while the remaining bedrooms offer space and comfort for children or guests.

Augusta 37

The Augusta 37 is a standout within our Inspirations Series, offering a luxurious layout that prioritises family living. As you step through the grand entrance, you’re welcomed into a thoughtfully designed space that includes four generously sized bedrooms, all with walk-in robes. The master suite is a private retreat, tucked away from the central living areas, providing a quiet oasis.

One of the key features of the Augusta is its seamless flow from the open-plan kitchen, meals, and family area out to the generous alfresco, perfect for enjoying the tranquil regional lifestyle. “Both the family and meals areas access the outdoor alfresco, along with a mud room for those who enjoy a tranquil, regional lifestyle,” Peter said.

The large pantry, mudroom, and laundry are positioned conveniently near the kitchen, ensuring daily tasks are efficient and well-organised. This design is all about practicality, comfort, and style—making it an ideal choice for families who appreciate space and function.

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, meals, and family area, which opens directly to an oversized alfresco—perfect for year-round entertaining. A separate living area and study offer additional spaces for work, play, or relaxation. Ample storage solutions throughout the home, including in the garage, add to the home’s practicality, making the Melrose 365 a perfect fit for those who need space to grow and thrive.

“Four different facades provide ample choice for those still wanting that modern look,” Peter added.
