Meet the Hamilton: A Country-Minded Classic Made for Wider Blocks
Some homes are built for master planned estates and buzzing, city-focused suburbs, while others – like the new Hamilton 29 look outwards – a single-storey with the quiet elegance of a country homestead, purpose-made for 16-metre-wide frontages that shine in regional Victoria.
A walkthrough that just makes sense
The layout of the Hamilton guides you naturally. Up front, the secondary bedrooms centre around the main bathroom, with the double garage tucked alongside for easy comings and goings.
Move through the centre of the home and the mood shifts to retreat: the main bedroom enjoys a quiet position with dual walk-in robes and an ensuite, while opposite, a dedicated theatre waits for movie nights or a calm place to unwind.
Keep walking and everything opens – a generous kitchen, dining and living space that spills to the alfresco. The walk-in pantry connects neatly to a family-sized laundry, so prep, drop-offs and clean-ups happen out of sight while the living zone stays clear for the moments that matter.
The kitchen is absolutely made for entertaining with its three-bench setup, each with its own purpose. It becomes the central hub for work and socialising – not just when guests are over, but for those everyday conversations at the breakfast bar.

Space that flex – with options to suit
The Hamilton 29 carries its width through to generous room sizes – all four bedrooms are over 3×3 metres, the theatre and main living are sized for family life, and storage is properly considered.
The main bedroom adds everyday luxury with dual walk-ins, and there are options to add a walk-in to another bedroom. The pantry can scale to a butler’s pantry, there’s scope for extra cabinetry, and a smart rear-flip layout means the plan adapts beautifully to different orientations.
In regional areas, we’re still lucky to have 16–18 metre-wide blocks. This design makes the most of that extra width to deliver oversized rooms throughout – and with the rear-flip option, this home works on almost any site and orientation.

Why it suits regional living
If you’re building in Bendigo, Ballarat or across Gippsland, the Hamilton 29 brings the right kind of scale – a true single-level family home that feels like a modern homestead from the street, then opens to a rear entertaining zone for long lunches and summer evenings.
Wide blocks get proper street presence, giving gardens and landscaping room to breathe, while inside you get separation where it matters and connection where it counts.
Having a wider footprint on site allows for not only more room for the family to move around the home, but it also balances the block frontage, giving it instant street appeal.

Make it yours
Start at the street with your desired façade. For a country-esque feel that suits wider blocks, consider Sorrento or Prescott – both bring that modern-homestead character with welcoming proportions. Prefer a contemporary edge? Moda or Hudson sharpen the lines for a cleaner, urban look while keeping the profile that suits regional horizons.
Inside and out, tie it together with Homebuyers Centre’s Colour Collection. From calm, Classic neutrals to moodier Modern tones (and everything in between), each palette is curated to flow from facade to living zone, so the whole home reads as one.
