Saltspring 42 by Beachstone Homes showcasing clean lines, open-plan living, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Where architecture meets lifestyleon a new level.

Building on the refined simplicity of its single-storey sibling, Saltspring 42 brings added space and flexibility to the signature coastal-inspired design. This 42-square double-storey home offers the same thoughtfully considered ground floor, with private garden courtyards, curved internal walls, and a light-filled entry framed by full-height glazing.

The generous open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area remains the heart of the home, anchored by a striking pop-up ceiling and highlight windows for natural light and thermal performance. An oversized double garage connects to a functional mudroom, laundry, and butler’s pantry—ideal for busy family life.

Upstairs, the layout adapts to growing families or multigenerational living. Three additional bedrooms—including a new fourth bedroom—are joined by a central bathroom, a second powder room, a rumpus, and a quiet study zone. Downstairs, the original study location is reimagined as a staircase, maintaining smooth circulation throughout.

The ground-floor master suite retains its sense of retreat, with a large walk-in robe, ensuite, and private toilet. Covered outdoor living continues seamlessly under the main roof, extending the home into the garden.

Saltspring 42 delivers all the hallmarks of Beachstone’s architectural approach: passive design principles, double glazing, solid materials, skylights, and a seamless inside–outside connection through considered cladding choices. Every detail works together to elevate comfort, flow, and natural connection.

Like all Beachstone homes, Saltspring 42 is a pre-designed plan with the flexibility to adapt—perfect for sloping blocks or custom changes—and includes access to our full interior design service. It’s fixed-price architecture, built for how you want to live.

Saltspring 42 isn’t just a larger home—it’s a complete lifestyle solution for families needing more space without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions –
Pre-Designed House Plans

What is a pre-designed home?
A pre-designed home is a complete architectural floor plan created by Beachstone Homes to offer a faster, more cost-effective starting point for your new home. It provides the benefits of architectural design with the convenience of a ready-to-build solution.

Can I make changes to the design?
Yes, absolutely. Our pre-designed homes are highly flexible. You can personalise the layout, finishes, and features to suit your lifestyle, block, and style preferences. We’re not a volume builder — there are no limitations to the modifications you can make.

Can I build this home on a sloping block?
Yes. Each plan has been carefully considered for a variety of site conditions, including sloping blocks. We can introduce steps and reconfigure levels where needed to suit your land.

What makes Beachstone’s pre-designed plans different from volume builders?
Unlike volume builders, our pre-designed homes are architecturally-led and tailored for Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Each design considers the whole home in 360 degrees — from natural light and orientation to thermal performance and material flow.

Is pricing fixed for these homes?
Yes. Our pre-designed homes are offered with a fixed base price for the standard inclusions. Once we understand your site conditions and any changes you’d like to make, we’ll provide a clear and transparent quote so you know exactly what to expect.

Do your pre-designed homes include interior design selections?
Yes. You’ll have access to our highly talented and accredited interior design team and showrooms to personalise your finishes, fixtures, and colours. This is included in the design journey to ensure your home reflects your unique style.

What’s included in the base plan?
Our pre-designed homes include architectural plans, specifications, structural design, a high level of standard finishes, and all required documentation to proceed with building approvals and construction.

Can I use a pre-designed plan as a starting point for a custom design?
Of course. If you love one of our floor plans but want to make significant changes, we can use it as a base and evolve it into a fully custom design that suits your vision, site, and budget.

How long does it take to build a pre-designed home?
Generally, the timeline is shorter than a fully custom home because the design phase is already complete. From contract signing to handover, the build time will depend on the site, selections, and any plan changes — but we’ll provide a clear estimate at the outset.

What do I need to get started?
Simply reach out to our team. We’ll guide you through the plan options, help assess your site, and explain the next steps. Whether you want to build straight away or explore customisation, we’ll tailor the journey to suit you.

 

At Beachstone Homes, our pre-designed house plans offer a thoughtfully crafted architectural solution that balances style, functionality, and budget from the very beginning.

By combining expert design with construction know-how, we deliver a streamlined, transparent process featuring fixed pricing, personalised options, and solutions tailored to your site. With award-winning quality, trusted local trades, and a strong focus on sustainability, our homes are designed to be as practical and cost-effective as they are beautiful and enduring.
