PROJECT

Edencliff Design

SERVICE

To design and construct a home for challenging lot through collaboration and creative solutions.

COMPLETION

2023 - October

Overview

Nestled amidst the tranquil town of Southside Gympie, Hillside Estate is a magnificent acreage home that embodies the essence of modern living. This newly built residence, designed by AUSMAR’s award-winning team, seamlessly blends contemporary style with the breathtaking natural beauty of its surroundings. Perched atop a picturesque treescape, Hillside Estate occupies a generous 39-meter-wide lot, providing ample space for Caitlyn, the homeowner, to realise her dream acreage lifestyle. The Edencliff floor plan, renowned for its functionality and versatility, perfectly aligns with Caitlyn's aspirations, creating a harmonious living environment. 

Caitlyn's desire for a treechange led her to Southside Gympie, where she discovered Hillside Estate's unmatched north-facing orientation and expansive 1,432sqm block allotment. The property's private and peaceful ambiance, coupled with its panoramic surroundings, offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Hillside Estate invites you to unwind and embrace the tranquility of its surroundings. Whether you're sipping a refreshing beverage on the alfresco or simply taking in the breathtaking views, this newly built AUSMAR home is the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.
