Building homes. Creating connections. Nurturing community.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create beautiful, aspirational living spaces that embody a sense of the existing community. We design and construct each and every home as if it was our own, and pride ourselves on our collaborative community engagement, innovative design and building practices. We create residential communities that exist harmoniously with the beauty of the surrounding environment and compliment the liveability and lifestyle of the Port Stephens area.

Coho Property’s Directors Rod and Kylie Salmon are passionate about creating spaces for evolving families and have had extensive experience in property development over the past couple of decades, in Port Stephens and across NSW.

The Salmons first fell in love with the Port Stephens region as a young family, taking regular road trips up from Sydney for holidays with their children. It’s their commitment to family and connection with the area that encouraged them to create a different sort of property development company. One that inspires a generation of people to work less, enjoy life more and spend more time with their families.

Their children Kiara and Lauren, having spent more than a decade in other arms of the family business, joined their parents in the Coho Property team in 2017. Building on the strong foundation laid by Rod and Kylie as the company’s Directors, Kiara and Lauren brought a fresh innovative approach to the home design process.

Our passion and mission is to design connection and community into every home we build
