PerCapita Home Daylesford

Summary:

Discover PerCapita Home, a remarkable retreat that redefines the idea of a country escape. More than just a place to stay, this minimalist home has been crafted as an immersive design experience - one that invites guests to slow down, disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with nature and each other. Guided by PerCapita Studio's philosophy of simplicity, timelessness and thoughtful living, every detail has been carefully considered to create a home that feels both calming and inspiring.



The Space:

Nestled in a peaceful pocket of Daylesford, yet only moments from the town's celebrated cafés, restaurants, galleries, boutiques and mineral springs, PerCapita Home offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. Sleeping up to four guests across two beautifully appointed queen bedrooms and a designer bathroom, it's an unforgettable destination for couples, friends, creatives or anyone seeking an elevated escape from the ordinary.



The home's striking architecture immediately commands attention. Expansive glazing, soaring ceilings and clean geometric forms frame breathtaking views across the valley and flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day. Every window has been positioned to celebrate the surrounding landscape, creating an ever-changing backdrop that becomes part of the living experience itself. Warm timber, designer furnishings and carefully curated objects soften the minimalist aesthetic, creating spaces that feel luxurious without excess and beautifully connected to their environment.



At the heart of the home, a generous open-plan living and dining space encourages guests to embrace a slower rhythm. Browse the thoughtfully curated library, put on a favourite vinyl record and settle into the designer lounge as the afternoon light moves through the home. In keeping with the philosophy of intentional living, there is no traditional television. Instead, a discreet projector transforms the living room into your own private cinema, inviting cosy evenings curled up together watching a favourite film against the backdrop of one of Australia's most thoughtfully designed homes.



The beautifully appointed kitchenette has been intentionally designed to complement the home's minimalist ethos. Featuring a generous island bench, induction cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and a compact bar fridge with freezer, it's perfectly suited to preparing leisurely breakfasts, grazing platters, and lighter meals. Wake slowly with premium St Ali drip coffee or a freshly brewed French press before heading out to explore the region. Rather than encouraging elaborate home cooking, PerCapita Home celebrates its location - placing you just minutes from Daylesford's award-winning restaurants, artisan bakeries, wineries and cafés, making every meal an opportunity to discover one of regional Victoria's most celebrated food destinations.



Both queen bedrooms have been designed as peaceful sanctuaries, embracing the same understated elegance found throughout the home. A beautifully detailed shared bathroom with feature shower continues the home's refined material palette, while the integrated European laundry with washer/dryer offers convenience for longer stays. Split-system heating and cooling throughout, together with ultra-fast Starlink Wi-Fi, ensures complete comfort without compromising the home's clean architectural vision.



Outside, the experience continues. Gather around the firepit overlooking the lake and valley as dusk settles over Daylesford, sharing local wine beneath a canopy of stars while the surrounding landscape falls quiet. Every outdoor space has been carefully considered as an extension of the architecture itself, offering moments of reflection, conversation and connection immersed in nature.



PerCapita Home isn't about excess—it's about intention. It's a place where architecture becomes part of the experience, where thoughtful design encourages presence over distraction, and where every element has been chosen to create a feeling of calm, clarity and connection. Whether you're visiting for the architecture, the food, the landscape or simply to slow down for a few days, you'll leave feeling inspired, refreshed and already planning your return.
