Escape the City. Find Your New Rural.

The New Rural book by Ingrid Weir captures the magic of escaping urban life and finding beauty in the Australian countryside. Through stunning photography and thoughtful storytelling, this book invites readers to slow down, dream big, and embrace a different kind of lifestyle.

You’ll explore charming country homes, repurposed heritage buildings, creative studios, and tranquil retreats. Every page offers a new perspective. From rolling hills to outback towns, this book shows how rural living can be stylish, sustainable, and full of personality.

But New Rural isn’t just about aesthetics. It also dives into how to make the move. Whether you’re planning to relocate or simply want to be inspired, this book provides ideas, tips, and heartfelt reflections. Ingrid Weir, a renowned designer and photographer, brings each space to life with her signature warmth and vision.

Importantly, the New Rural book celebrates individuality. No two homes look alike. Yet each one shares a connection to place, nature, and creativity. You’ll find converted churches, rustic cabins, modern farmhouses, and even old schools reborn as soulful spaces.

Moreover, it’s a book for anyone who wants to reconnect—with the land, with community, and with themselves. Even if you’re staying put in the city, these stories and visuals will stir something deep. They remind us that a different rhythm of life is possible.

So if you’re dreaming of wide skies, warm timber, and wild gardens, this is the book to guide and inspire you. Pick it up for the weekend, keep it on your coffee table, or gift it to someone craving a tree change.

Let the New Rural book show you what’s possible when design meets simplicity—and when beauty blooms far beyond the city.
