Open for inspection: The best new builds on the market around Australia

When it comes to the properties that garner attention, historic homes are often at the top of the list. There's grandeur, period features and a sense of importance that accompanies them.

But for some buyers, it's not these grand old homes that catch their eye. It's the modernist masterpieces, the brand-new beauties and the fresh facades they are drawn to.

From a beachfront oasis in Suffolk Park to a modern farmhouse in Batesford, these are the best new builds on the market around Australia.
