Doonan Hinterland Residence
Set across a sprawling acreage site in Doonan, this recently completed residence is a refined example of luxury custom home building in the Noosa hinterland. Designed and constructed as a complete design and construct project, the build responds to the unique characteristics of a gently sloping site, incorporating both the main dwelling and a secondary granny flat, carefully positioned to work in harmony with the landscape and each other.
From the outset, the home establishes a strong sense of arrival. A striking loose lay stone feature wall anchors the entry, creating both texture and permanence, while soft render and clean architectural lines allow the home to sit comfortably within its natural surroundings. This material language continues seamlessly inside, where Laminex Architectural Wall panels define the entry and cleverly conceal a discreet door to the garage—an example of the thoughtful detailing typical of a high-end custom home. Underfoot, burnished concrete flooring grounds the entry and extends through the hallway toward the master suite, guiding movement through the home while offering a subtle contrast to the warmth of the surrounding finishes.
Internally, the spaces unfold with a sense of calm and cohesion, designed to maximise natural light, airflow and connection to the outdoors—key considerations in luxury acreage home design. Natural light filters through recessed sheer curtains across multiple rooms, softening the interiors and enhancing the warmth of the finishes. Parquetry-laid engineered timber flooring introduces a level of craftsmanship and pattern that anchors the main living areas while adding subtle visual interest.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen is both sculptural and highly functional—an essential element in any custom luxury home. Stone Ambassador Ottoman Grey surfaces wrap the island and splashback, creating a refined focal point, while cabinetry in Cinder Venette and Refined Walnut Absolute Grain adds depth and contrast. A butler’s pantry sits neatly behind, supporting seamless entertaining while maintaining clean, uncluttered main living spaces.
The living area is anchored by a feature wood-burning fireplace, set against a tiled feature wall that adds depth and texture. A continuous stone plinth runs the full length of this wall, grounding the composition and reinforcing the horizontal lines of the space. Laminex Architectural Wall panels and custom joinery further enhance the material palette, creating a living zone that is both sophisticated and highly liveable.
Designed to embrace its hinterland setting, the home opens effortlessly to the covered alfresco, demonstrating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection often sought in luxury homes across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa region. A timber-lined ceiling adds warmth overhead, while views extend across the pool and surrounding greenery—maximising the benefits of the acreage site and sloping terrain.
A dedicated wellness space further enhances the home’s liveability. The gym is complemented by its own bathroom, complete with a steam shower and sauna, and enjoys elevated views across the landscape—creating a private retreat focused on health, relaxation and wellbeing, a growing priority in modern custom home design.
A separate media room offers a more intimate retreat, providing balance to the openness of the main living zones and flexibility for family living.
Every element of this home has been carefully considered—from site planning on a sloping block through to material selection and construction detailing. The result is a luxury custom home that feels grounded in its environment while delivering a timeless and highly functional living experience
