How Pole Home Designs Can Elevate Your Lifestyle at Ellendale

Ellendale allows you to embrace an elevated lifestyle in harmony with nature. With over 40% of the community reserved for green open space and retained natural bushland, you can look forward to swapping rooftops for treetops.  

The Ellendale masterplan and commitment to nature also create opportunities to design environmental homes that blend in with the unique surroundings. 

Pole homes are a perfect example of this. Also known as stilt homes, pole homes are designs built on raised timber or steel poles rather than traditional slab foundations. Their versatility makes them ideal for homesites that feature split levels or natural slopes, which allows the home to respond to the natural contours of the land.  

This style of home can be found throughout Ellendale – so let’s find out more about what makes them so special.   

Homesites shaped by nature  

Ellendale offers a range of split or sloping homesites, which call for home designs that can adapt to sometimes challenging topography.   

A split homesite comprises two individual flat building pads, while a sloping homesite has no building pad, but follows the natural contour of the land. 

Some of the benefits of split or sloping homesites include: These homesites can offer: 

• Greater freedom and flexibility in home designs by using the split or slope in the home to create different self-contained ‘zones. For example, in a split-up home, the design can include having the main residence on the upper level and a guest wing on the lower level.  

• The chance to create a truly unique home design that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.  

• Being able to capture breezes, spectacular sunsets and treetop views from your balcony.  

 The benefits of pole homes  

There are several benefits to choosing pole home designs, which can include:  

• Minimal earthworks, with less excavation required to construct your new home. This helps to preserve the natural contours of the land at Ellendale, as well as bushland and natural habitats that help to make the community so inviting.   

• Increased ventilation throughout your home, with elevated platforms providing cooler interiors and better airflow.  

• Panoramic outlooks, with your new home offering stunning views across the treetops.  

• Outdoor entertaining options, with scope to add wrap-around or sprawling verandas or decking spaces to your new home.  

 Why pole homes are on the rise  

As Ellendale continues to embrace split or sloping homesites in the future, unique pole home designs will become a fixture in the community. This construction style is common in sloping or bushland sites where traditional options would be either disruptive or impractical.
