The allure of acreage: Catriona Rowntree showcases new Highlands 36
Are you looking for a serene, spacious family home? Coral Homes’ just-released acreage home designs, namely Highlands Series, are the epitome of contemporary country living. So much so that Getaway icon and host of Country House Hunters, Catriona Rowntree, was excited to see our new acreage home for herself.
In our latest walkthrough video, Catriona takes you on a journey through our Highlands 36 display home, showcasing the wide-open spaces, raked ceilings, natural features, and modern barn style kitchen (including a butler’s pantry, of course!).
Living in the country herself, Catriona knows how the charm of the acreage lifestyle can bring more relaxation, space and a sense of calm into family life. Watch the video below and discover whether a Highlands Series home is a must for you and your family.
The wide floorplan of an acreage home design
What’s special about our Highlands Series homes is that they’re separated into three wings. Much like a traditional acreage design, the wide floorplan is orientated towards alfresco living.
This allows the open-plan living wing to be the hub of the home, and the main bedroom retreat to be tucked away from the hustle and bustle. On the opposite side of the home, the additional bedrooms and kid’s activity space make up the third wing. As Catriona says, “you can hide your mess” away from your central living room.
In a Highlands Series home, each member of the family has a sanctuary to relax and unwind, and has easy access to outdoor living.

Country living with a contemporary edge
Drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s lodge-style homes and the modern American barn house, Coral Homes’ Highlands 36 display with Lodge Facade is a contemporary take on an acreage home. Featuring a stacked stone fireplace, a mixture of natural materials and a neutral colour palette, you’ll love how the Highlands 36 display home elegantly brings a sense of serenity. We’ve taken much-loved features of a traditional country lifestyle and modernised them to suit the needs and tastes of Australian families.
Plus, if you’d like a different look for your acreage home, you can choose from the classic Hamptons Facade, East Hamptons Facade, Mornington Facade and the highly affordable Designer Facade. Explore the Highlands Series range here.
