Designed to Reset Your Life

What if your home didn’t just look beautiful, but actually made you feel better?

For acclaimed designer Brett Rundle, that idea sits at the heart of Mater Prize Home No. 325. Perched high in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, this Montville masterpiece has been thoughtfully designed to do more than impress. It’s been crafted to restore, rebalance, and reset the way you live.

At its core is a philosophy centred on simplicity, flow, and emotional wellbeing.

“Effective spatial planning can reduce visual clutter, which can be a source of loss in focus,” Brett explains. “It creates a better flow and movement, and enhances the comfort of a space, ultimately improving the overall living experience.”

Step inside and you feel it immediately. Soaring ceilings and open-plan living create a sense of space and ease, while carefully considered zoning allows for both connection and retreat. Dual wings provide privacy when needed, while shared living areas invite moments of togetherness, effortlessly balancing energy and calm.

But it’s not just how the home is arranged, it’s how it connects to the world beyond it.

“The principle of biophilic design. Put simply, means connecting to nature,” Brett says.

And here, nature is ever-present.

“Incorporating nature into design has profound effects on mental and physical health. Visual connections with gardens and landscapes have been shown to reduce stress, boost creativity, and mental clarity. Studies indicate that even passive views of nature from the indoors can increase the feeling of joy, relaxation, and overall life satisfaction.”

Framed by sweeping hinterland views, this home dissolves the boundary between inside and out. Expansive windows, natural light and seamless transitions to beautiful outdoor living spaces ensure the landscape becomes part of your everyday experience.

“It also acts as a natural transition from the weight of work to a state of calm, providing a moment to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.”

And when it comes to unwinding, the home offers more than just beautiful spaces… it offers experiences. A plush cinema room, luxurious main bedroom suite, tranquil guest retreat… and more.

“Even a simple firepit can reset your mood after a busy day,” Brett notes.

Here, the crescent fire pit becomes a focal point for relaxation and connection. The flicker of flames, the soft crackle of fire, it’s a multisensory experience that naturally slows the mind.

“Firepits are becoming more and more popular—not just for warmth. This multisensory experience acts as a natural therapeutic tool, reducing stress and improving mindfulness. The focus required to watch dancing flames helps people stay present in the moment and temporarily detach from daily anxieties.”

Inside, three internal gas fireplaces extend that same sense of warmth and restoration throughout the home, creating spaces that feel inviting, grounded and deeply comforting.

“Every aspect of this property has been designed to soothe and quell the senses,” Brett says. “And its location and superb surroundings only add to its overall appeal.”

This is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle designed with intention, one that prioritises wellbeing, connection, and calm.

Beyond the carefully considered home, the lucky winner of Mater Prize Home No. 325 will also have two luxury vehicles and $200K in gold bullion included in the prize, ensuring even more of this lush and restorative region is ripe for discovery.
