Far from the bustling crowds of Auckland, the houses here are architecturally designed, high-quality, affordable and versatile – just what you would expect from the experts at Winton. But what is drawing the attention of first-home buyers, families and empty nesters alike is the very attractive price. For only $480,000 buyers can get a lovely new house with a tidy patch of land - and lay a claim to a slice of the Kiwi dream. Those wanting to build their own design only need to lay out $235,000 for a section. Check out the designs for yourself at https://winton.nz/our-projects/lakeside/
More than 3000 residents – enough to create a homely village atmosphere - are expected to make their home on nearly 180 spacious hectares here as Lakeside burgeons. Over the next 7-10 years about 1600 homes will be built here, in Te Kauwhata, a quintessential Kiwi town that has maintained its unique character on the outskirts of New Zealand’s biggest city.
And those lucky residents will have direct access to Lake Waikare for the first time, as well as planned amenities to take advantage of, such as walking and cycle trails and a large recreational lake perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. The new Lakeside primary school is also planned within the development. Other facilities such as childcare centre, a medical centre and a café are also being built as part of the village centre.
Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Waikato, the new residents will be a comfortable commute from the bustling centres of Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga.

Lakeside has been planned and is being developed by the talented folk at Winton, the same people behind similar developments in Auckland, Wanaka, Queenstown and the Coromandel. This New Zealand owned and operated company has a reputation for quality, well planned developments. Lakeside offers three categories of house and land packages. A brand new modern home with two or three bedrooms, contemporary kitchen and modern fittings and fixtures such as double glazing for warmth comes with a modest price tag starting from $480,000 - ideal for first-home buyers, families and empty nesters. The owners will enjoy a well thought-out layout that opens to their own private garden.
Those looking for something a little more spacious inside and outside will feel right at home in the Vantage Homes, which start at $590,000 for three or four bedrooms, plus the expected quality materials and colour schemes sympathetic to the lakeside environs.
Design guidelines are available for those who wish to make their own stamp on the neighbourhood. Realise your own vision and make the most of your own patch of paradise. Sections start from $235,000.
But you will want to check out Lakeside for yourself. Winton is releasing the first house and land packages to the market on a one day “sales day”, on Saturday November 17. Before then, drive down to check out the five show homes already on display at the final open day on Sunday November 11, when you can explore Lakeside from 12pm to 2.30pm.
Open days held in recent weeks have revealed strong interest and packages will be sold on a “first-in first-served” basis to those who have filled out a registration form and paid a refundable $1000 deposit.
This weekend’s final open day and the sales day promise to be fun days for the whole family, with free food and entertainment provided.
