Architectural Off Plans + Earlybird Shed Package
5 Te Whaa Lane, Ngaruawahia
For the first time, we’re releasing one of our River Gardens builds off the plan. Already under construction and scheduled for completion in June, this home enjoys a serene location with north-facing mountain views and partial river outlooks. Whether you’ve been considering building or want a brand-new architectural home with the process managed for you, the choice is yours. For a limited time, the home also comes with an 80sqm pole shed package positioned in your preferred location while construction is underway.
This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features two living areas including a media room, a study overlooking the river, and a double garage concealed in Japanese charred timber. The north-facing kitchen opens onto an entertaining deck, while the master suite includes a walk-in robe and ensuite. Thoughtful architectural touches, like a feature brick walkway and built-in fireplace, carry through the interior, connecting spaces and enhancing the home’s unique style. Landscaping with established trees is included, creating a complete, ready-to-enjoy home.
The home has been designed to maximise views and functionality, with three additional bedrooms opening onto a deck overlooking the river and a large family bathroom providing separation for families or guests. Interiors have been curated by our designer, and construction is well underway with walls already up. This is a one-of-a-kind Connect Homes spec build, giving you the chance to step in, make final selections, and secure a completed architectural home in June. Our other spec homes in River Gardens set the tone for the architectural difference this estate offers—don’t miss your opportunity to get in early.
