31/275 Pukehangi Road, Parkland Estate, Sunnybrook

Where sophistication meets boldness, this residence is a statement of intent - an architectural feat that refuses to settle for the ordinary. Set within the private, gated sanctuary of Parkland Estates, this 894 sq m triumph of design stands as a singular icon in Rotorua’s luxury landscape. Perched on the foothills of Pukehangi, the elevation is everything. By day, sweeping panoramas stretch from the city to Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island, and Mt Ngongotaha. By night, the skyline transforms into a spectacle of twinkling lights and infinite stars. A collaboration of engineering precision and artistic mastery, this home is a fusion of concrete, steel, rustic brick, and reclaimed American oak—each material selected to embody both strength and style. From the moment you pass through the over-height woven steel entry door, it’s clear: this is no ordinary home. Inside, the scale is breathtaking. A towering great room, anchored by a sculptural steel fireplace. A dramatic circular glass insert offering a glimpse into the garage below. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolving the boundary between architecture and nature. At its core, this home is built for those who entertain. A full bar sits alongside a showstopping kitchen- leathered granite spilling over surfaces, high-end appliances at the ready, and a hidden scullery functioning as a commercial-grade workspace. Mornings begin in the dedicated coffee station, where precision meets ritual, before flowing into the inviting breakfast nook - an intimate corner designed to frame the view and embrace the day’s first light. A floating concrete staircase, wrapped in steel balustrades and crowned with a statement chandelier, leads to the upper retreat. The master wing is a sanctuary of indulgence, connected by an engineered bridge. Here, a freestanding bath takes centre stage in the bedroom itself, positioned to take in uninterrupted views. The opulent ensuite, equally grand, with flawless detailing, while a dressing room worthy of its own stage completes this private haven. Two further suites echo this grandeur, each with walk-in robes, balconies, and an exquisitely detailed main bathroom. The pursuit of perfection doesn’t stop here. A media lounge, a guest suite, and a gym with a sauna cater to every indulgence. Below, the basement level is a world of its own - housing a remarkable garage, complete with a turntable to showcase your collection, and a wine cellar designed not only for tasting and storytelling but also for dining in an atmosphere as refined as the vintages it holds. Outdoors, the infinity pool is a seamless extension of the horizon, a place where the world feels both vast and entirely your own. Framed by mature native plantings, the property is a private sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. With multiple spaces to entertain or unwind against a breathtaking backdrop, carefully curated landscaping grounds the design in strength and beauty. Specified without compromise, engineered with precision, and finished with passion - this is more than a home. It is a legacy....
