Homestead and Guest Retreat: A Cohesive Farmstead at Tarcutta

At Tarcutta, a modern farmhouse vision unfolds across two dwellings—the main homestead and a guest house—balancing family life, hospitality, and a deep connection to the land.

The homestead anchors the property with four bedrooms, a study, generous mudroom, and master suite. Pitched roofs, wide verandahs, and recycled brick details blend Scandinavian and French Provincial farmhouse influences, while expansive windows flood the interiors with light and frame sweeping rural views. The result is timeless, practical, and built for longevity.

A short walk away, the guest house mirrors the homestead’s character with its pitched roof, verandah, and generous glazing. Inside, open-plan living and calm bedrooms create a private, restful retreat. A shared material palette—textured render, brick, and metal roofing—ensures cohesion, while its smaller scale brings warmth and intimacy.

Together, the two dwellings embody the spirit of Tarcutta: welcoming, enduring, and deeply connected to place.
