Boomers underpin growth in unique housing design trend

LOS ANGELES: Baby boomers are underpinning the growth of unique housing design in the beguiling landscape settings.

Dahlia Estate is built into the side of a hill with a long list of luxury features from a helipad and outdoor gym to a resort-style pool and tennis court.

Ross and Ashley Hankin are behind the property in the picturesque Tallebudgera Valley.

The pair, who has two children, decided on a tree change during Covid, and swapped their beach pad for life at Dahlia Estate.

They paid $1.725 million for the 2.19ha block which settled in February, 2021.

“Our initial concept for Dahlia was simple — to do justice to this incredible property,” Ms Hankin said.

“It is the most unique site we have ever come across, so we knew whatever we were going to build had to take advantage of the uninterrupted views and natural landscape of the land.”
