16 Oct Modified Bargara in River Heads

A New Chapter in River Heads

This stunning Modified Bargara build in River Heads is a beautiful example of how thoughtful design changes can make a home perfectly suited to its setting. With a few smart modifications, the owners created a spacious, functional retreat that captures the relaxed coastal lifestyle of the Fraser Coast.

Designing a Home to Suit the Land

Relocating from Southern Queensland, the owners worked closely with Oakvale Homes to tailor the Bargara plan to suit their River Heads block. By flipping the design, they maximised the home’s orientation and connection to the outdoors, ensuring the alfresco and living spaces took full advantage of the natural light and views. They also made a few interior tweaks, adjusting the shower and toilet layout to better suit their needs and enhance functionality.

A Home Built for Easy Living

The Modified Bargara offers the perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm. Its open-plan living area flows seamlessly to the large alfresco – ideal for entertaining or relaxing in the coastal breeze. Two well-sized bedrooms provide flexibility, with generous built-in storage and room to adapt for guests, work, or hobbies.

Why River Heads Is the Perfect Fit

For the owners, River Heads offered the peaceful lifestyle they were searching for – close to Hervey Bay’s conveniences yet surrounded by natural beauty and a friendly community. It’s a place where coastal living feels effortless, and the slower pace makes every day feel like a getaway.
