80 | DEVELOPMENT G.J. Gardner Homes Manukau & East Auckland: Conmara Estate T T Kim Newth Putting on a show in Clevedon “For our show home at Conmara Estate, we designed a modern country home that’s really fitting for the area. It has been so well received. Premium residential development Conmara Estate in Clevedon has attracted top-tier building partners to help fulfil the exceptional rural lifestyle vision. G.J. Gardner Homes Manukau & East Auckland was quick to respond to the exceptional quality of this residential lifestyle estate, being the first builder to open a new show home there in July 2025. “We committed early to Conmara Estate because we could see that the developer had taken time to consider and invest in a high-quality subdivision that people would want to live in – with wider streets, beautiful bridle and walking paths, in an area that’s rural yet so close to everything,” says Debbie Van Leeuwen, who owns the franchise with husband Graeme and fellow owner Vimal Pillay. Together, they lead a highly capable team that has built a strong reputation in the local building sector. “For our show home at Conmara Estate, we designed a modern country home that’s really fitting for the area. It has been so well received. The response has been phenomenal – we’re even building a replica for a client who fell in love with it.” At the heart of this three-bedroom, two-bathroom show home is the light and spacious open-plan kitchen, living area with raking ceiling, and elegant dining space, all flowing through to generous outdoor living. A hidden scullery at one end of the kitchen sets the whole space up superbly for entertaining, by ensuring messy prep can be kept out of sight. “We’re seeing really good inquiry levels and getting great feedback on the level of finish and choices of fixtures, fittings and colours – it’s exceptional,” says Debbie. ”We’re seeing a mix of those wanting to downsize from a larger rural property, to those planning their first home and people wanting that country village lifestyle by moving to Clevedon from other areas.” To date, G.J. Gardner Homes Manukau & East Auckland has nine client builds at Conmara Estate. We construct Rib Raft, X-Pod, MaxRaft, Quickset, Cupolex, Conventional and Mid oor concrete slabs.
