Proudly representing the Hunter on the national stage
The Housing Industry of Australia Awards gives home builders and designers a unique opportunity to be recognised while showcasing their work to the broader building community. Attracting a who’s who of the building industry, the HIA awards celebrates remarkable builders and projects across the country so it’s a huge achievement to be one of the HIA-CSR National awards finalists.
Shoreline Villas in the Limelight
Riding high on their win at the 2024 Hunter awards with the multi unit development Shoreline Villas, Valley Homes was proud to be announced as a finalist in the 2025 National HIA Awards. Rich Harold from Valley Homes recently attended the conference and awards night in Melbourne and was honoured to represent the Hunter region in the Townhouse Villa Development category. Although they didn’t win, Rich said it was a humbling experience for Valley Homes to be recognised amongst such highly esteemed builders on the National stage.
A winning development team
With over 50 years of experience developing, owning and managing properties the Sheargold vision is people-centred and their values focus on delivering with integrity and creating the future.
Sydney-based Sheargold understands that ‘local knowledge is often best knowledge’, so multi-unit builder Valley Homes was their preferred Tea Gardens builder. Their shared philosophies and values about first rate design, construction and craftsmanship ensured the Shoreline Villa units were snapped up early by those in search of quality designed dwellings.
Developed to empower independence
Shoreline Villas is an effortlessly impressive property development with its timeless Hamptons style exterior and landscape architect designed gardens. This multi unit development celebrates inclusivity, dignity, and independence for all residents, regardless of their age or physical abilities making it possible to age in place without having to move again.
These three bedroom dwellings have a seamless flow with step-free transitions incorporated wherever possible to ensure accessibility for residents using wheelchairs or walkers. Generous 2.7m ceiling heights allow for light, open and airy living arrangements. The indoors opens out naturally to the alfresco dining and private open spaces enhancing the coastal vibe. Slip-resistant surfaces throughout reduce the potential for accidents and foster a sense of confidence during daily activities making these homes not only safe but a pleasure to inhabit.
Shoreline Villas offers future-proof living, designed for long-term comfort with easy accessibility features. Located on the ground floor, the master bedroom has secure wall fixings provisioned for grab bars, shower seats and accessible wall basins which provide additional support and stability for residents who may need it. Sheargold and Valley Homes have designed Shoreline Villas to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all residents with modern and functional accessibility.
Tea Gardens: a winning location to build multi units
The choice of location contributes considerably to the success of a multiple dwelling development. While Tea Gardens can be described as a peaceful hideaway there’s an abundance of activities to satisfy everyone.
Tea Gardens offers the ease of country living with plenty of walking and cycle paths providing easy access to shops, cafes and amenities. There are National Parks, beaches and headlands to explore and enjoy. Many locals are inspired to record the natural environment so, unsurprisingly, Tea Gardens is home to many artists and photographers with their work regularly showcased at the permanent art gallery.
Tea Gardens has a wealth of riverside and coastal activities from fishing to sailing and other water sports. There are plenty of social and sporting clubs including a magnificent golf course in Hawks Nest, just over the ‘singing bridge’.
Located at the southern gateway to the Barrington Coast, Tea Gardens is close to the beauty of Myall Lakes while still being a commutable drive to Newcastle. Whether you’re looking to build a multi unit development or an investment property, Tea Gardens is definitely the place to investigate.
