The Art of Fine Architecture

A favourite on a previous Fine Homes Tour, this luxury estate is a masterpiece of Space, Light & Form.

"Well, if it was just another metre" was a phrase often repeated by the owners during the design of their extraordinary home.

To bring their vision to life, they turned to one of New Zealand's architectural greats, Terry Hitchcock. This wasn't their first collaboration; having worked together on a major renovation previously, he understood exactly what to deliver. The result? An inspired, supersized 800m2 masterpiece-unmistakably Hitchcock. Light floods in from unexpected angles, and the seamless connection between indoors and out is effortlessly achieved.

Despite its scale, the home feels anything but overwhelming. Instead, volume is the standard, with vast spaces creating an almost gallery-like experience. Polished aggregate floors, raw concrete block walls, and striking timber trusses celebrate the beauty of honest materials. Copper-clad roof and pillars add a refined contrast, while the grand jarrah front door hints at the exquisite timber detailing throughout.

The landscaped grounds (8431m2) continue the architectural statement-semi-tropical yet structured, where manicured hedges offer privacy, corten steel pillars evolve with the elements, and an outdoor fireplace anchors the alfresco spaces. Birch, maple, and beech trees introduce seasonal contrast, complementing the evergreen design.

A floodlit tennis court, saltwater pool, spa, sauna, and petanque court create a resort-like retreat for family life. The ex-packhouse, once a feijoa sorting facility, now serves as versatile storage or an ideal teenage retreat, with potential for a home office or extended living. Triple-car garaging, a dedicated boat shed, and a full-scale gym complete the picture.

Dalbeth Place is a tightly held enclave just off Matangi Road-an address where lifestyle and convenience align. Hillcrest New World is a mere three-minute drive (or a brisk 20-minute walk), top schools are within minutes, and Waikato Hospital is just a 10-minute commute. In six minutes, you're on the expressway, seamlessly connected to the north and south.

A home like this is one in a million - secure it before someone else does.
