SIMONDS has opened the doors to two new display homes at Coridale Estate in Lara, giving local families the opportunity to experience contemporary design and practical family living firsthand.<\/p>\n

Now open to the public, the Leyburn 28 and Gisborne 34 showcase two distinct interior styles, Minimalist Contemporary and Modern Hampton, designed to suit the evolving needs of growing Geelong and Bellarine families.<\/p>\n

The Leyburn 28 is a striking single-storey home featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a double garage.<\/p>\n

Designed for flexibility, it includes a private guest suite, raked ceilings with skylights that flood the home with natural light, and a spacious alfresco for easy entertaining.<\/p>\n

A butler’s pantry and dedicated study nook add everyday functionality to its thoughtfully zoned layout.<\/p>\n

The Gisborne 34, designed for 14m+ blocks, is a generously proportioned double-storey home with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and dual alfrescos.<\/p>\n

The ground floor includes a guest suite and home office, while upstairs an apartment-style master retreat features dual walk-in robes and a luxurious en suite.<\/p>\n

With Lara continuing to grow as a lifestyle destination between Geelong and Melbourne, the new displays offer inspiration for those ready to explore building a new home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Additional bedrooms are arranged around a rumpus room, creating space for both connection and privacy.<\/p>\n

Simonds Homes Coridale new home specialist Nilu Srikantegowda said the displays reflect what many buyers in Lara are looking for.<\/p>\n

“Families want homes that feel spacious but still practical for everyday life,” Srikantegowda said.<\/p>\n

“The Leyburn 28 offers single-storey simplicity with standout design, while the Gisborne 34 gives larger families the zoning and flexibility they need.<\/p>\n

“Walking through the homes really helps buyers picture what’s possible on their own block.”<\/p>\n

With Lara continuing to grow as a lifestyle destination between Geelong and Melbourne, the new displays offer inspiration for those ready to explore building a new home.<\/p>\n
