The Bilby 3: Our Most Loved Modern Queenslander

By Marissa Shelton • July 31, 2026
Some home designs just get it right. The Bilby 3 has become one of our most popular designs because it offers the perfect balance of timeless Queenslander character, modern living and the flexibility to make it truly yours.  Whether you're building on acreage, in a new estate or on a block that calls for an elevated design, the Bilby 3 can be tailored to suit your land and the way you want to live. Available as either a slab-on-ground or elevated home, it's designed to work with your site—not against it.

You may have heard us mention that we are custom home builders…but what does that mean exactly? At Shelton Homes, we take our job very seriously, and our job is to help make your dream home a reality. Custom home builders take the time to discuss and figure out what it is you may need and want to create. We don’t pump out cookie cutter home designs that look identical, we prefer to work closely with you during the design process and give you the freedom to add and change design aspects to suit your own aesthetic and lifestyle…butlers pantry anyone?
