Building Their Future:
Sophie & Ryan’s Acreage Journey in Nulkaba
Building your first home is a milestone moment, filled with decisions, excitement, and anticipation. For Sophie Pointer and Ryan Maxwell, this dream became a reality when they chose Hunter Homes to build their forever home in Nulkaba. Nestled on a picturesque half-acre block, their new home is not just a house but a reflection of their vision and lifestyle.
Why Nulkaba?
For Sophie and Ryan, the choice of location was personal. With family nearby and a strong connection to the area, they had long envisioned building a home in Nulkaba. As the estate grew and developed, their dream of living in the serene surrounds of this beautiful community only strengthened.
“We’ve watched this area evolve over the years and knew it was where we wanted to build our first home together,” Sophie shared.
The estate’s generous half-acre lots and peaceful setting provided the perfect backdrop for their next chapter.
The Branxton 283: A home designed for living
Sophie and Ryan chose the Branxton 283 design, complemented by the elegant Bourke Façade. This four-bedroom home is tailored for both comfort and style, making it an ideal fit for their needs. With three spacious living areas and two and a half bathrooms, there’s ample room for their family to grow and enjoy.
Key Features of the Branxton 283:
Bedrooms: Four well-appointed rooms, perfect for family and guests.
Bathrooms: Two full bathrooms and a convenient powder room.
Living Areas: Three separate spaces to relax, entertain, and unwind.
Ryan highlighted, “We loved how the design felt open yet still offered privacy when needed. It’s perfect for hosting family gatherings while giving us space to recharge.”
From breaking ground to handover
Sophie and Ryan’s building journey began on 6 June 2023, when construction officially started. They were impressed by Hunter Homes’ efficient process and clear communication throughout every stage. From site preparation to the final touches, the experience was smooth and stress-free.
By 18 December 2023, just over 28 weeks later, they were handed the keys to their dream home, ready to celebrate the festive season in their brand-new space.
“Seeing everything come together was amazing. The team kept us updated at every step, which really put our minds at ease,” Sophie said.
Personalising Their Space
The Branxton 283 design offered Sophie and Ryan the flexibility to tailor their home to their lifestyle. Some standout choices included:
Open-Plan Living: The kitchen, dining, and main living area are seamlessly integrated, making it the heart of the home.
Dedicated Media Room: A perfect retreat for movie nights and downtime.
Stylish Finishes: From flooring to fixtures, every detail was selected to reflect their taste and preferences.
