Inside Geelong Cats player Rhys Stanley's luxe Surf Coast farmhouse
Geelong Cats premiership ruckman Rhys Stanley racked up more than 1200 AFL hit-outs in the almost three years it took to build his family's forever farmhouse on the Surf Coast. But, much like on the footy field, he and wife Kirsten never took their eye off the prize as they inched ever closer to finishing their dream European-style home. The couple and its three children finally moved into 'Farmhouse Fields', about 15 minutes from Torquay, just before last Christmas. They searched long and hard to secure the right rural acreage property where they could embrace a working farm life and their love of wide, open spaces. 'When we first found the site, we drove to the top of the hill and knew instantly that this is where we want to build our family's forever home,' Stanley said. 'The project is something we can grow with and grow into; we're hoping the farmhouse is going to be something we can love for generations.' For their first new build, the couple turned to local interior architecture and design studio Studio Hallihan to bring together their love of combining old and new. The family lived in an existing two-bedroom cottage on the property during the home's construction. As well as oversized windows framing views across the countryside, the new house features high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, textured oak timber floors and tactile limewashed walls. Outside, natural stone cladding reinforces the farmhouse vibe, while internally Gyprock products, including Flexible Plasterboard, help achieve soft feature curves. 'The designer had some fun with curves throughout the house and they have turned out better than we could have imagined,' Stanley said. The house has separate kids and parents' zones and a large open-plan living space anchored by an American inspired kitchen to satisfy the Stanley's love of entertaining. 'Built-in cabinetry ensures we can hide away the mess and enjoy the beauty of the space while entertaining,' Kirsten said. Custom cabinetry also features in the earthy-toned ensuite, which has a marble vanity and European-style brass tapware. Stanley said the length of the build, which started around the time of the Covid pandemic, was impacted by supply chain delays and lockdowns. 'A whole lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into this project,' he said. 'Seeing it completed and looking so beautiful fills us with a lot of pride.'

Inside content creator's $2.7m dream home switch
Controversial online personality Annie Knight splashed $2.7m on a 'forever home' after making $600,000 from an extreme six-hour stunt. The big-ticket purchase of a four-bedroom house with a pool is a big upgrade from her previous most expensive investment, an acreage home bought for $1.37m in August last year. Knight has now listed the earlier purchase, a Gold Coast house she had rented at $1100 a week, for sale. 'I bought the house of my dreams that doesn't need any renovating in a different area,' she said. 'So then I decided to sell the home I bought last year since I'd bought that with the intention of renovating and living in it. 'As an investment property, it just didn't make sense.' The 28-year-old, who was this week ranked in the top 0.01 per cent of creators on an online subscription platform, earlier revealed she had leveraged $600,000 in profit from a one-day filming event involving 583 people. 'When I say this is my dream home I mean it. It is so, so perfect, so much space, huge backyard, a pool.' While her purchase of the new four-bedroom house is yet to settle, Knight has listed her Currumbin Waters property for auction on August 22. The Tierney Drive home has three bedroom and two bathrooms over a 4,388 sqm bushland parcel, and is marketed by Coastal agent Emisha Canning. 'Tucked away at the end of a quiet street, this sun-dappled hideaway feels more like a secret treehouse than a suburban home,' the listing states. Features include high ceilings, timber floors and large windows framing a green outlook. An open-plan kitchen and dining zone flow to outdoor decking, while the main bedroom has an ensuite and there's also a study nook. The home's location was described as 'a quiet, family-friendly pocket where the bush meets the sea, just 10 minutes from Currumbin's surf breaks and rockpools, with local shops and sporting facilities all within easy reach'. Knight said the house had been rented last year, with the tenants since vacating ahead of the sale. PropTrack data shows house prices in Currumbin Waters were up 7.1 per cent over the past 12 months to a median of $1.2m. Knight retains another local investment property.
