THE Housing Industry Association has awarded Metricon\u2019s Highlander 66 display home located at Gisborne the ‘Best Display Home over $1 million\u2019 at the 2023 HIA Western Victoria Regional Housing Awards last Friday.<\/p>\n

The double storey, five-bedroom home, fronted by an Pindari fa\u00e7ade seeks to showcase modern country grandeur.<\/p>\n

The Highlander’s high ceilings, large proportions, and high-quality fixtures and finishes garnered well-deserved praise from the competition\u2019s judges.<\/p>\n

Set against the picturesque Macedon Ranges, the Highlander stands as the flagship double-storey design in Metricon\u2019s Acreage Collection.<\/p>\n

The build seeks to harmonises pastoral charm with refined aesthetics, and create a home with warmth, comfort, and character.<\/p>\n

“We are incredibly proud of the Highlander,\u201d said Phil Barrett, Metricon’s general manager of regional housing Victoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really is an absolute showstopping country luxe home, it showcases contemporary acreage living with just the right amount of opulence and grandeur.<\/p>\n

“This award win is a celebration of our great local trades and supplier’s dedication to delivering the best home-building process to our customers.<\/p>\n

“The Highlander is a break-through and now award-winning country home set on acreage that has set new standards for volume building design.\u201d<\/p>\n
