FOR anyone considering building a new home in the Goulburn Valley, the Simonds display homes in Shepparton offer the perfect place to begin. Featuring five thoughtfully designed homes in one convenient location, the display village allows visitors to explore a range of layouts, living styles and design ideas while experiencing the craftsmanship that Simonds has delivered to Australian families for more than 75 years.
According to Simonds New Home Specialist Jason Timperley, stepping inside a display home often helps people visualise what their future home could really look like.
“Seeing a home in person makes it much easier to imagine how you would live in the space,” Jason said.
“You can walk through the rooms, experience the flow of the layout and start to picture how your own lifestyle could fit within the design.”
One of the hero homes in the Shepparton display line-up is the Camperdown 33, a single-storey design that shines when it comes to entertaining. Designed for 18 metre and wider blocks, the home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage, with the option to add a fifth bedroom. At its centre is a spacious open plan living area that flows to an outdoor alfresco, creating an ideal setting for gatherings with family and friends. Secondary bedrooms are zoned for comfort, while the master suite sits privately at the front of the home.
Another standout is the Willandra 34, a contemporary Australian design that blends relaxation with social living. Designed for 16 metre blocks and wider, the home includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. From the entry, the layout branches into separate zones before leading to the open plan heart of the home at the rear, where an entertainer’s kitchen overlooks the dining area, courtyard-style alfresco and multiple living spaces.
The Macedon 33 is a favourite for families seeking flexibility. Multiple living zones allow everyone to enjoy their own space, whether hosting guests, relaxing in a quiet corner or spending time together. Four bedrooms provide generous storage and comfort, with the option to add a fifth if needed, while a dedicated study offers a practical space for working from home or helping the kids with homework.
For families who value adaptable living, the Mortlake 29 is designed to grow alongside its owners. The master suite sits at the front of the home to create a private retreat, while three bedrooms at the rear provide space for children or guests. A flexible leisure room can evolve into a playroom, study or second lounge as family needs change. At the centre of the design, open plan living and alfresco dining bring everyone together.
Completing the collection is the Venetia 32, a home that places flexibility front and centre. With four layout options available, the design adapts easily to different blocks and lifestyles. The base design begins as a three-bedroom home, while larger variations introduce a fourth bedroom and a dedicated games room, making it an ideal option for growing families.
“For many visitors it is the moment everything clicks,” Jason said.
“They might come in with a few ideas, but once they walk through the displays, they start imagining what their own home could look like.”
