BALLARAT’S Lucas Display Village continues to strengthen its reputation as one of regional Victoria’s best showcases of contemporary home design, and the arrival of Simonds Homes’ new Blass 25 and Ash 27 further reinforces its position as a destination for quality, design-led living.<\/p>\n

These two homes don’t just expand the offering at Lucas, they sharpen the conversation around what modern family living should look like in a fast-growing regional market.<\/p>\n

Designed for 14m+ blocks, both homes respond directly to the needs of today’s households: more flexibility, better zoning, and a stronger connection between everyday living spaces.<\/p>\n

The Blass 25, styled in an Ultra-Modern aesthetic, is a clear statement in efficiency and flow. It centres around a large open-plan living, kitchen and alfresco zone that anchors the home, creating a natural gathering point for families.<\/p>\n

Three well-sized secondary bedrooms sit alongside a private master suite, while additional inclusions such as a study nook, walk-in pantry and secondary lounge add genuine versatility rather than token spaces.<\/p>\n

It’s a design that prioritises liveability without compromising on style.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Ash 27 embraces a Modern Farmhouse style, delivering warmth and softness alongside contemporary functionality. Its single-storey layout supports easy movement through the home, while the front-positioned master suite offers a sense of retreat and privacy.<\/p>\n

The central living and dining space connects seamlessly to a gourmet kitchen, while a second lounge ensures families have room to separate and regroup depending on the moment. It’s a design that feels grounded, welcoming and highly adaptable.<\/p>\n

Simonds local New Home Specialist Tim Britt says the new displays set a clear benchmark for the region, describing them as “perfect for a vibrant and growing area like Ballarat” and a strong reflection of what modern buyers now expect from a new home \u2013 from the inside, out.<\/p>\n

The Blass 25 and Ash 27 each offer something different, giving Ballarat buyers a real sense of choice at Lucas Display Village. From layout to lifestyle, both homes have been designed to feel practical, liveable and distinctly their own.<\/p>\n

With a Lifetime Structural Guarantee and fixed price hold periods, Simonds homes are designed to give buyers added confidence and certainty throughout the build journey, from first walkthrough to final handover.<\/p>\n
