New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) Award Winner 2018 Designed by Matt Chaplin of Sumich Chaplin Architects. Interiors by Matt Chaplin and Nickola Horrocks. Landscaping by Halligan Associates. An elegant vessel for shared experiences, Pukemoremore Estate rests gently amid 36.64 hectares of fertile Waikato farmland. The sophisticated farmhouse unassumingly holds its space without dominating, dissolving any sense of enclosure and remaining in constant dialogue with the sweeping vistas of the verdant landscape. Two gabled structures accommodate living: the front pavilion is single level, while the rear spans two levels. The main living area is highly adaptable, functioning as both an open-air summer pavilion—with doors opening on three sides—and a glass-enclosed winter room, allowing immediate engagement with the farm from every aspect. A protective loggia graciously guides you through to the pool house, ideal for hosting guests or extended family. Detailing is restrained and precisely tuned to exacting standards, with every material thoughtfully contributing to a cohesive composition. A refined palette has been selected to age gracefully over time, including locally sourced Hinuera stone in a variety of finishes, stained Western Red Cedar weatherboards, and Colorsteel. These finishes continue seamlessly into the interior, featuring polished American Oak, granite, dark titanium quartzite, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass stacker doors, and timber louvred screens that provide protection from the elements while creating a unified contemporary country home. The dwelling sits quietly within its setting—reticent, yet assured—retreating effortlessly into the landscape to offer complete privacy, permanence, and peace. Hidden from the road and set back along a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, the home feels worlds away. Established specimen trees imbue the site with ethereal, dappled light—an ever-changing expression of the Waikato seasons. Incorporated within the property is a large double aircraft hangar, a consented airstrip, and a self-contained and modernised three-bedroom cottage. The land encompasses 11-box stables and a high-quality 1,800 sqm sand dressage arena. There are approximately 21 fenced paddocks, stock yards, and well-maintained races. The very special stand of aged natives on the property provides a unique backdrop and hosts a plenitude of bird-life. Discretely positioned, the separate farm entrance provides convenient access to the land, utility areas, barn and stables. This lush Waikato property offers exceptional versatility, supporting both farming and equine pursuits. Pukemoremore Estate presents a rare opportunity to secure award-winning architectural design paired with a high-calibre parcel of Waikato farmland.

There are properties that are simply owned, and those that are held.

European influences are present but restrained, expressed through timber, stone, and proportion rather than ornament. The home is generous in scale, with expansive living areas, high stud ceilings, and a natural connection to the surrounding grounds. Spaces are designed to accommodate both daily life and larger gatherings with ease, without compromising privacy. The land is established and functional. A heated pool, tennis court, and outdoor living areas are set within landscaped grounds, while equestrian facilities, including multiple paddocks, a professional stable complex, and a full-size arena, provide a complete environment for those who require it.
