Acreage Homes

Wide-Open Land. A Home Designed to Match.

Building on acreage isn’t just about space — it’s about creating a lifestyle. At Stannard Family Homes, we design and build custom homes that embrace the land, capture the views, and give families the freedom to live how they’ve always imagined.

With 25+ years of experience across Adelaide and regional South Australia, we understand the unique opportunities and challenges of acreage living. From sweeping country homesteads to modern lifestyle retreats, every home we build is designed to fit your block, your family, and your future.

Why Choose Stannard Family Homes for Your Acreage Home?

  • Designed for Lifestyle
    Expansive kitchens, multiple living zones, seamless indoor–outdoor flow — we create homes made for entertaining, family life, and quiet escapes.

  • Built Around the Views
    Hills, paddocks, or river outlooks — we design your home’s orientation, windows, and living spaces to frame what makes your land special.

  • Room to Grow
    Workshops, guest wings, garages, or future additions — acreage builds give you freedom, and we design with tomorrow in mind.

  • Custom, Every Time
    No two families are alike, and no two acreages are the same. Every home we build is unique, crafted to suit your land, lifestyle, and vision.

What Makes Acreage Builds Different

Acreage homes come with considerations that city builds rarely face:

  • Larger footprints and clever zoning for efficiency and comfort

  • Services like water, septic, and power that need smart planning

  • Working with slopes, contours, and natural features of the land

  • Balancing openness with energy efficiency

We’ve built over 225 custom homes across South Australia — and more and more landowners are trusting us to bring their acreage visions to life in Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, the Murraylands, and beyond.

How We Work on Acreage Builds

Designing and building on wide-open land takes a little extra care. Here’s how we make it simple:

  • 1

    Project Consultation

    We start with a 20-minute chat about your land, vision, and budget. If you already own land and have plans in mind, we can move quickly.

  • 2

    Concept & Feasibility

    Together, we shape a concept that suits your block — whether that’s sloping, riverfront, or rolling country land — and provide early budget clarity.

  • 3

    Approvals & Preparation

    Acreage builds often involve services (water, septic, power) and local council requirements. We handle the permits, engineering, and site prep.

  • 4

    Build & Updates

    From slab to handover, you’ll get full visibility through our BuilderTrend portal with schedules, photos, and updates at every stage.

Thinking About a Knockdown Rebuild?

If you already live on acreage but your home no longer fits your lifestyle, a knockdown rebuild could be the answer. Stay where you are, keep the land you love, and start fresh with a custom home.

Every Acreage Home Is a Custom Home

No two acreages — and no two families — are the same. That’s why every design we create is completely unique, tailored to your block, budget, and lifestyle.
