Ask the Builder | Australian Floor Plans | New House Design Release
Looking for the Perfect Modern Acreage Home?
If you're dreaming of building a spacious family home on acreage, our newly released 353
KR Modern Acreage House Plan could be just what you're looking for.
Designed for families who enjoy space, privacy and entertaining, this impressive single-storey home combines contemporary country styling with a practical, flexible layout.
Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a dedicated home cinema, rumpus room, large billiard room and extensive outdoor decking, the 353 KR is designed to make the most of a relaxed acreage lifestyle.
With approximately 360.52m² (3,881 sq ft) of total design area, this home offers an attractive alternative to conventional family house layouts.
A Modern Country Home with a Difference
One of the most appealing features of the 353 KR is its distinctive arrangement of separate living and bedroom wings.
Rather than placing every room inside a conventional rectangular floor plan, the design spreads the accommodation across connected sections, creating private retreats and inviting communal areas.
The extensive timber decking connects these spaces, making outdoor living a central part of the home.
Imagine enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the garden, entertaining friends on the deck or relaxing with the family in your own dedicated cinema room.
This is the type of lifestyle the 353 KR has been designed to accommodate.

Four Bedrooms with Privacy in Mind
The master bedroom is positioned in its own wing of the home, complete with an ensuite and walk-in robe.
This arrangement offers additional privacy and separation from the other bedrooms.
Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are grouped within the central section of the house, close to the family bathroom and additional living spaces.
For families with teenagers, visiting relatives or guests, this separation can be a particularly appealing feature.
A Home Designed for Entertaining
What makes the 353 KR particularly interesting is its selection of entertainment and relaxation spaces.
Dedicated Home Cinema
A separate home cinema provides a comfortable space for movie nights, watching sport or relaxing away from the main living area.
Rumpus Room
The rumpus room offers additional flexibility for families, whether used as a children's activity area, games room, reading retreat or hobby space.
Large Billiard Room
The billiard room measures approximately 6.248m × 4.844m, providing a generous entertainment space.
It could also be adapted into a games room, additional family lounge, hobby room or multipurpose entertainment area.
Open-Plan Family Living
At the heart of the design, the kitchen, dining and lounge areas provide an inviting space for everyday family life.
The arrangement allows easy movement between the main living spaces and surrounding decks.
Extensive Decks for the Australian Outdoor Lifestyle
One of the standout features of this design is the approximately 141.75m² of outdoor decking shown in the plan area schedule.
The decks create attractive spaces for outdoor dining, family gatherings, relaxation and enjoying views across an acreage property.
For a rural home, the relationship between the building and the surrounding land is especially important.
A well-positioned deck can help you take advantage of winter sunshine, summer shade, cooling breezes and garden or countryside views.
Ask the Builder Tip: Before finalising any acreage home design, consider the orientation of your land. Positioning your main living areas and decks correctly can make a significant difference to comfort and energy efficiency.

Could You Modify This Design to Include a Fifth Bedroom?
Absolutely worth considering.
Although the current 353 KR layout provides four bedrooms, its generous entertainment areas offer potential opportunities to explore alternative arrangements.
For example, the separate billiard room or rumpus room could be reviewed as part of a proposed fifth-bedroom modification.
Any change would need to consider access, natural lighting, ventilation, privacy and relevant building requirements.
At Australian Floor Plans, we can prepare modified concept drawings based on your requirements before you commit to full construction documentation.
Why Start with Affordable Concept House Plans?
Building a new home is a significant investment, and one of the most common mistakes is committing to detailed drawings before the layout and budget have been properly considered.
Our concept house plans provide an affordable starting point.
They allow you to review the floor plan, discuss the design with builders, explore potential construction costs and identify modifications before proceeding further.
The 353 KR Concept Plan Package includes architectural floor plans, elevations and presentation drawings, with options to upgrade to more detailed documentation.
Important: Concept plans are preliminary designs. They are not complete construction or permit-ready drawings. Site-specific engineering, local approvals and other required documentation must be addressed before building.
Can This Home Be Built on a Sloping Acreage Block?
Possibly, depending on the site.
Every acreage property has different conditions, including slope, soil type, access, drainage, orientation and local planning requirements.
The 353 KR design may be suitable for adaptation to certain sloping sites, but changes to foundations, floor levels, decking and structural details could be necessary.
A site survey and professional assessment are recommended before determining whether the design is appropriate for your land.
Ask the Builder: Three Things to Check Before Building on Acreage
1. Site access and services
Consider the cost of providing suitable driveway access, power, water, wastewater treatment and stormwater management. These costs can have a substantial impact on the overall building budget.
2. Decking and outdoor living costs
Large decks are a wonderful feature, but they also require careful budgeting for foundations, framing, decking materials, balustrades where required and ongoing maintenance.
3. Building orientation
Consider where the sun rises and sets, prevailing winds, important views and summer heat. Good orientation can improve everyday comfort and reduce unnecessary energy use.
Make the 353 KR Your Own
Every family has different needs, which is why we offer a customisation service for our house plans.
Whether you would like to add a fifth bedroom, enlarge the kitchen, modify the decks, change the roof style or adapt the layout to your land, we can help you explore the possibilities.
You can send us your ideas, notes or a marked-up copy of the floor plan, and we can provide a quotation for the required modifications.
