Looking for an acreage house design to suit a large block of land?
Have you been dreaming of having a tree change? Are you looking to get out of suburbia and into an area where you and your family can spread out? Do you want to build your dream home on a large block of land?
Wide open spaces lend themselves, to a wide open house design. So if you are looking to build a spacious family home on a large block of land, then you would want to start looking at an acreage house design.
Layout of an acreage house design
It is often the case, that when you have a large block of land, you usually are looking for a large home. Most acreage house designs have at least four bedrooms and some even have five bedrooms. You are probably also going to want formal and informal entertaining areas as well. Notwithstanding this, alfresco living areas such as wide open verandas and undercover terraces, will also be on your must have list.
When deciding on an acreage house design to sit on your block, it is important to consider a number of factors. You will want to position the house to catch morning sun and afternoon breezes. This usually means that you want the living areas to face north.
Usually you would have the front of the house facing the street. However with a larger block of land you could position the house with the side facing the street. This would be especially important, if your block is longer than it is wide. You may also want to take advantage of scenic views, or it could offer more privacy from main road.
A selection of acreage house designs
When doing your research, you will find many different types of acreage house designs. Some of these are based on a heritage or country style, whilst others will have a more contemporary feel.
