PUKETOI – The Place That Time Forgot

DECEASED ESTATE

Private Auction: 7:00 p.m. Friday 20 February 2026, On-Site (unless sold prior)

Talent, collaboration and enduring custodianship are the hallmarks of this incredible offering that we are proud to present to market. Two Titles are on offer; comprising a total 8.2 hectares (more or less) pristine lifestyle estate; a true mid-century modern New Zealand masterpiece and an orchard-plot, set within the rarified enclave of Te Matuku Point.

Meander through the green lung of the Island (approximately 25 minutes) to reach this historic precinct where Ponui-bred Kiwi-birds are released back into the wild around the botanical arc of Te Matuku Bay.

House and Land meld in a romantic stratosphere of glade-like light and comfort pervades the design by third-generation protegee of Vernon Brown. Cedar doors, macrocarpa ceilings, heated concrete floors – naked elements in soft articulation hold sway – no pastiche – the honesty and sophistication of this home will astound you. The ‘Odeon’ - a 7 seat commercial cinema stays true to our theme, part of the career DNA of our former owner, it comes complete with full soundproofing, exit door and a waterfall curtain handstitched on site.

If seeking true sanctuary – turn away from the madding crowd. Puketoi encourages a gaze within, to the only place where true peace arises. Consult our e-book for a full list of chattels and be-spoke features too numerous to name here. The Estate offers this up once, and once only – to be sold by private auction on Friday 20th February 2026. (unless sold prior)
