Custom-Built Excellence with a Focus on Sustainable Living
Nestled in a sought-after pocket of Maiden Gully, this stunning 309.5m² custom home on an 853m² block exemplifies Sandeman Build’s dedication to timeless design, liveability, and sustainable construction. Designed and built in-house, the home balances bold architectural form with warm, natural materials and eco-conscious features.
From the striking recycled red brick, Interlock 25 cladding, and rendered finishes to the elegant fin panel detailing and fully landscaped gardens — complete with lush lawn and ornamental pear trees — every element has been crafted to create a sense of presence and longevity. Soaring 4 metre ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing, and custom Blackbutt hardwood flooring set the tone for a home that feels both refined and deeply connected to its environment.
Inside, thoughtful zoning ensures both connection and privacy, with two spacious living areas, four generous bedrooms, and a seamless transition to outdoor entertaining. Sustainability was front of mind throughout the build, including thermally broken double-glazed windows, zoned climate control, and custom joinery designed for durability and beauty.
For clients dreaming of a home that reflects their lifestyle and values, this home showcases what’s possible — where considered design, quality craftsmanship, and personal vision come together to create something truly exceptional.

Exterior & Façade
The exterior of this home is a bold statement in textural contrast and sustainable design, combining recycled red brick, Interlock 25 cladding, and smooth rendered finishes. Kōbe Board — a bonded cement and reclaimed timber composite — adds a durable and environmentally conscious layer to the design. Custom fins provides architectural interest, while the fully landscaped gardens, complete with lawn and ornamental pear trees, frame the home beautifully.
Interior Features
Inside, the home opens to soaring 4-metre ceilings and rich feature-grade Blackbutt timber flooring that flows throughout. Floor-to-ceiling, thermally broken, double-glazed windows and doors fill the home with natural light while maintaining superior thermal efficiency. Comfort is tailored to each space through zoned reverse-cycle refrigerated heating and cooling, with individual room controls. Large-format tiles feature in the bathrooms, complemented by a separate powder room for added convenience.
Kitchen & Living
The heart of the home showcases over 12 metres of luxurious stone benchtops and exquisite natural hardwood custom joinery. A 900mm induction cooktop is paired with double ovens for functionality, while Blanco sinks and picture window splashbacks elevate the aesthetic. The butler’s pantry mirrors the kitchen’s premium finishes, providing a seamless and practical extension of the space.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The main suite is a private retreat, featuring electric windows, a walk-in robe with extensive custom joinery, and a thoughtfully designed ensuite with travertine-look porcelain tiles, a handcrafted vanity, and matte black tapware. Secondary bedrooms include built-in wardrobes with custom joinery and block-out blinds, offering both comfort and storage across the home.
Sustainable Features
Sustainability is integrated at every level, beginning with site preparation using Class 3 recycled crushed concrete. The home's orientation has been carefully considered to optimise solar gain and promote passive heating and cooling. Thermally broken, double-glazed window systems enhance thermal performance, while natural timbers and recycled materials — including Blackbutt flooring, reclaimed bricks, and feature timber joinery — are used throughout. Kōbe Board, a durable and sustainable cladding solution, further strengthens the home's environmental credentials. Landscaping has been designed with future growth in mind, creating shaded areas that will mature beautifully with time.
Additional Features
Additional features include a bespoke study nook with direct access to the alfresco area, enhancing indoor-outdoor flow. A high-end laundry with matching stone benchtops and ample storage offers both function and style, while the secure generous two-car garage provides convenient internal access to the home.
