This philosophy is at the core of Landmark Homes Taupō. Its commitment and expertise were recently acknowledged at the 2024 House of the Year competition, where the franchise won the Gold Award for the Bay of Plenty and Central Plateau region in the Altus Window Systems New Home $750,000 - $1 million category. “At Landmark Homes Taupō we specialise in creating architecturally inspired homes of varying sizes and investments that captivate and take clients on a journey. From start to finish, we provide a positive experience with exceptional service, resulting in a home that meets unique requirements while blending innovation, quality, and craftsmanship,” says Steven Painter who co-owns the franchise with Gerry Schumacher. Situated in Locheagles, Kinloch, the award-winning 216m² residence boasts breathtaking views of Lake Taupō and the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. The home exemplifies the franchise’s commitment to style, functionality, and sustainability. The layout ensures smooth flow throughout, while natural timber flooring in the kitchen and dining areas, complemented by carpeted living spaces and bedrooms, enhances warmth and appeal. The master bedroom features a luxurious, fully tiled ensuite with a walk-in shower and an adjacent office. Two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom, also fully tiled with a walkin shower, occupy a split-level, offering privacy and serenity. Sustainability is at the core of this home’s design, with thoughtful construction practices emphasizing the repurposing and efficient use of materials. Steven says this holistic approach ensures that every resource is valued, minimising waste. In 2024, Landmark Homes Taupō celebrated a decade in business, boasting an impressive track record of 39 awards across various prestigious competitions. These include the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards, Trends International Design Awards, and Landmark Homes New Zealand Awards.

We now have 12 full-time staff members in-house and many external contractors, ranging from surveyors and designers to builders,” says Steven. A key aspect of Landmark Homes Taupō becoming industry leaders in its field has been ensuring a continuous improvement mindset across all parts of the business. “From frequent participation in training workshops, seminars and courses; to ensuring the latest and cutting edge construction methods used to ensure we are pushing boundaries of possibility in design. We are focussed on challenging the ‘standard’ by exploring improvements to our systems and to ensure we continue to deliver the cost-effective, beautiful and highly functional homes that our clients have grown to expect.” Landmark Homes Taupō specialise in designing and building and has an award-winning range of Ready to Build designs that are a great starting point for any new build in the area.
