It’s the result of smart design to fit a compact site and delivers beyond expectations, say franchise owners Michael and Colleen Walters. “Part of the vision at Paerata Rise was to offer homes to suit different types of people and demographics to create that sense of community so we worked with Grafton Downs to do something special. The duplexes provide a beautiful backdrop to the park and showcase that high quality of Paerata Rise at its best,” explains Colleen. Based on the Landmark Homes Rangitoto Ready to Build design, Michael says the compact footprint and reversible layout make this multi-unit design very user friendly. It can be built as a multi-unit in groups of two or more. The homes are clad in James Hardie Stria, concrete brick and Lunawood – a natural timber product with knots to create a contrasting look. “Upstairs living provides privacy and space with a large deck off the dining and living area with pergola. The master suite upstairs is sumptuous, with large walk in wardrobe and ensuite. Cubic lines and natural materials make this design very on trend and the design is perfect for a subdivisible site,” says Michael. Downstairs, two guest family bedrooms, another sitting room, family bathroom and laundry within the garage complete this modern liveable home. Michael says this provides a great space for family and friends to stay. Architectural features abound including a stacked block bonded party wall between the two properties. Michael says it’s a feature that goes from outside the front, through middle of the houses to the outside the back again, becoming the “architectural spine” of the home.

With the future in mind the homes are wheelchair friendly and have an internal lift and EV charging installation within the double garage. The duplexes have been popular with people looking to downsize or with retirement in mind. Colleen says the community of Paerata Rise offers security and people can own their own home and benefit from capital gains when they sell unlike purchasing in a retirement village. Both Michael and Colleen say the duplexes have been snapped up by buyers but there is one still on offer at 15 Heaphy Lane and people can view the Landmark Homes Showhome at 1 Heaphy Lane, open Thursday to Sunday 11am-3pm or by appointment. The duplexes are a good example of how Landmark Homes Auckland-South East always tries to offer something truly special to the market. Michael and Colleen started Landmark Homes Auckland-South East in November 2019 and opened their office in early 2020 – right before the first lockdown. It was understandably a stressful time for the pair who had left corporate jobs to start the business from scratch. Colleen’s career began in the hectic world of event and conference management. More recently, she had spent several years in managerial roles with another group homebuilder. A plumber and roofer by trade, Michael’s background included senior management roles with New Zealand Steel and Monier.
