Sydney's own Barbie Dreamhouse is on the market.

Back in the mid-2010s we fell hard for Millennial Pink and Pantone’s Rose Quartz, with pinky hues popping up everywhere from bedrooms and bathrooms to joyful exteriors, and it seems as though our love for the shade hasn’t waned.

With the release of the hotly anticipated Barbie film and the real-life Malibu Dreamhouse mansion now available to stay at through Airbnb, we looked closer to home to find options around the country that any Barbie girl or guy would love to call home, starting from just $390,000.

It might not be Malibu, but this gorgeous pink-hued property in Sydney’s exclusive Rose Bay will appeal to any house hunter.

With knockout views across the harbour, its own glistening swimming pool fringed with palm trees and multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, this dream house is meant to be shared with guests.

The three bedrooms have en suites but the vast main suite takes the luxury up a notch with its own sunroom and dressing room. There’s also separate guest accommodation and a renovated cabana with a rooftop terrace – the perfect spot for summer pool parties.

If paddleboarding or inline skating is your jam, Elwood in bayside Melbourne is the perfect beachy backdrop.

This second-storey apartment, tucked within a pink-and-green art deco building that’s considered among Melbourne’s most iconic, is practically close enough to the beach to wave to the swimmers. 

You’ll revel in the apartment’s period features – its curves, decorative ceilings and stained glass windows – as well as the roomy bedrooms and living space, plus the separate sunroom. 

The Elwood Sailing Club, cycling paths and the much-loved canal are all nearby, and there are cafes aplenty on Ormond and Glen Huntly roads.

Talk about kerb appeal. “Its vibrant colours make it stand out from a mile away,” PRD Anges Waters agent Gordon Christian says of this bright pink home in Queensland’s Agnes Waters.

The four-level property really channels the “Kenergy” with its pastel pink and blue exterior, and the pool with surrounding deck and cabana, multiple entertaining areas and a built-in bar helps bring the party atmosphere.

You can soak up ocean views from all levels of the main house and it’s only 400 metres to Anges Main Beach. Bliss.

With a frontage that brings to mind fairy floss and stunning sunsets, this cottage is actually a deceptively large four-bedroom home, already spruced up and ready to move into.

It’s only a ferry ride across the Hunter River to Newcastle’s city centre and a short walk to Stockton Beach, so expect relatives from southern states to hit you up for a stay – there’s already a granny flat just across the back deck so you have somewhere to put them.

The one-bedder looks like it comes straight from the pages of a fairy tale and features plenty of pink – the rich hue accentuates the Queenslander-style batwing verandah doors and the window hoods on the century-old home.

Despite the pretty details, the home has seen better days, and keen renovators will relish the opportunity to restore and revitalise the property. 

You’ll find peace and quiet in the surrounding agricultural region, where avocados and olives grow in abundance and the nearest town, Moore, has fewer than 300 residents.

This California bungalow in Perth’s north-east offers a subtle take on the Barbiecore trend, with a lick of pale pink paint on the front exterior. 

Inside are period details you’d expect in a 1947-built home including ceiling roses and stained-glass windows, with spacious, airy rooms. Jarrah boards line the floor in each of the three bedrooms, lounge and family rooms, and the dining area and renovated kitchen.  

On sunny Perth days, you can utilise the undercover entertaining deck and inground pool. There might even be room for a Barbie-style pink pool slide if that takes your fancy.

SOLD - $910,000

This double-storey 1950s house, set in the Dandenong Ranges (about an hour out of Melbourne) boasts a charming verandah that’s perfect for overseeing your own 0.4 hectares of land.

It gets cold here, but the chill is easily tempered with two wood-burning fireplaces for when the fog, rain or occasional dusting of snow arrives.

Colour is splashed through the home, with walls of pink, green and yellow. The floor plan offers flexibility to organise as you wish, with a living room and kitchen on each floor, four bedrooms, a sunroom and an external studio.

This gorgeous property in the idyllic village of Berrima includes two separate cottages – and one of them is pink. Fittingly known as The Pink House, it’s currently operating as a fabric and quilting store.

The larger Bramber Cottage, one of the last original weatherboard cottages in the town, has three bedrooms and modern living spaces. A pitched ceiling, exposed timber beams and an impressive wall of rubble stone surrounding the slow-combustion wood heater in the living room, and outside, you’ll find a small coach house built in the 1850s that’s now used as storage space.
