Custom Home Builder Barwon Heads

At Derbyshire, we’re a custom home builder who has been designing and building homes in and around Barwon Heads for over 30 years. Barwon Heads is one of our favourite places to work because of its easy-going pace, strong sense of community, and natural beauty. It offers a coastal lifestyle that’s both relaxed and refined.

Barwon Heads has a strong architectural identity, and new homes are designed to respect the town’s laid-back coastal atmosphere. Many areas are subject to planning overlays that favour natural materials, simple forms, and low-profile designs that sit gently within the bush and beach surrounds. We design with this in mind by creating homes that feel at home in the landscape.

Blocks in Barwon Heads can be sloped, irregular, or tree-filled, and often require careful planning to protect privacy, maximise natural light, and preserve vegetation. We consider every layer of the site from wind and sun exposure to soil conditions, drainage, and engineering requirements. Whether we’re designing a rebuild in an established street or a brand-new home, we tailor the design to suit your land and your lifestyle.
