Country Living Homes

What Country Living Homes does

Country Living Homes (CLH) is a family-owned residential construction company headquartered in Moonta, South Australia, founded in 2006 by Mark and Julia Ravenscroft. The company designs and builds single and double-storey family homes across multiple South Australian regions, including the Yorke Peninsula, Port Augusta, the Mid North, Clare Valley, Barossa Valley, Adelaide Plains, and Northern Adelaide. Its core product portfolio spans 44 pre-designed house plans plus fully bespoke custom homes, with design flexibility offered at no additional cost, a differentiated position among Australian project builders. CLH also extends into commercial construction, including tourist accommodation cabins, camp kitchens, and amenity blocks for tourism operators, and delivers homes within Lifestyle Village partnerships such as Moonta Lifestyle Estate. A new House & Land Packages offering combines land acquisition with construction, bundling more of the buyer journey.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market model. Building Consultants guide customers through a structured pre-construction process of approximately 6–8 months, with selections made at the company's in-house Studio Envy design studio at Moonta headquarters. The company opened the St Andrews Display Home at Port Hughes in 2025 as a flagship showroom and conversion channel. Revenue is generated through fixed-price residential construction contracts, with possible variations for footings, structural steel, energy rating, and site-specific conditions. Sales are supported by a website, social media presence on Instagram and Facebook, downloadable educational brochures, and content marketing.

The company is 100% family-owned, with three generations of the Ravenscroft family actively involved, including Founder Mark, Co-founder Julia, Business Manager Jack (son), and grandfather Ian as Building Consultant. CLH holds builder's licence BLD 194214 under South Australian law and is recognised as HIA's 11th largest builder in South Australia and 59th largest in Australia per the 2023/24 HIA Colorbond Steel Housing 100 report. It has won the HIA Project Home of the Year award in three consecutive years (2023–2025) and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees.
