Australian Heritage Homes Australian Heritage Homes P/L, CDB-U 49335, custom home builders located in Warrandyte South (VIC).

Australian Heritage Homes P/L, CDB-U 49335, located in Warrandyte South, Victoria. We mostly build in the Eastern and South-Eastern region of Melbourne and outlying suburbs. Our company was founded by Siggy Van Unen, father of the current owner/operator, Renay van Unen, who has been building with the family business for the past 25 years. Every customer speaks with and discusses matters with Renay

, the owner and builder ensuring an expertise in service that cannot be matched by a typical sales rep from other building companies. We employ the same trades people for every project who have been working with us for many years, ensuring the consistency in quality that we pride ourselves on. We pride ourselves on building homes of superior quality and excellent value. What this means is that your home will require less maintenance, look newer and be in better shape than other homes five, ten or forty years into the future. This is because we are a family company that has been around for three generations and plan to be around for at least three more.

🔹 Dream Home Among the Trees – Warrandyte South 🌳
Take a look at this spectacular single-level custom home built on a beautifully treed acreage block in Warrandyte South. We collaborated closely with the owners, took the time to get everything right, and created a home that’s not just built — but designed — to sit in harmony with the landscape.
Australian Heritage Homes

🏡 Project Highlights:

33 squares of living, including 4 bedrooms + master with walk-through robe & large ensuite + study.
Australian Heritage Homes

Entirely single level, with open plan living/dining/kitchen to capture the bushland ambience.
Australian Heritage Homes

Materials chosen for a treed & bushfire-sensible block: true timber windows/doors/decking, rendered brick veneer, feature exposed rafter verandah.
Australian Heritage Homes

Comprehensive design process and bushfire assessment — taking five years from initial chat to full build, because getting it right matters.
Australian Heritage Homes

📌 Why this matters:
When you're building on a treed or bushland site, the challenge isn’t just designing the home — it’s designing for the site. This build proves that with the right partner and the right process, you can have a luxury home that respects the landscape, embraces the surroundings, and still delivers on family living.

Take a look at this striking custom split-level home built for a young couple in Chirnside Park — designed with site-savvy finesse, so they could step right into their dream home. (ahhcustomhomes.com.au

🏡 Project Highlights:

Designed and built on a gently sloping block — the team navigated council overlays and site challenges seamlessly.
Australian Heritage Homes

Split-level layout means the home has character, separation of zones, and makes the most of the land without heavy excavation.

Stylish finishes throughout: warm timber flooring, clean modern kitchen, well-crafted detailing.

Perfect for first-home owners who want something a bit elevated in both style and liveability — this home sets the benchmark.

📌 Why this matters:
If you’ve got a sloping block, or want a layout that’s more dynamic than flat single-storey living, this is a perfect example of how to do it right. Smart site design + elevated finishes = home that feels premium without being over-the-top.
