Craftsmanship in Every Detail
When a builder constructs their own home, the result is unmistakable. Every element reflects experience, not only in aesthetics but in liveability. This stunning Hanley’s Farm residence by Camako Builders is a testament to craft, performance, and passion, where every line, material, and connection is chosen with purpose.
Exceptional Living Spaces
The open-plan living area is a masterpiece of volume and proportion, featuring a seven-metre high vaulted ceiling lined in timber to complement the floors. North-facing glazing floods the space with natural light, seamlessly connecting to the Northwest-facing entertaining deck. The finish is impeccable, from negative-detail wall linings to hidden ventilation bulkheads and a custom steel staircase crafted by local artisans.
“People walk in and just stop,” says Nick Jordon, founder of Camako Builders. “You can feel it’s different, the warmth, the quiet, the sense of space. It just feels incredible.”
Upstairs, a cosy second living area showcases stunning views of Coronet Peak, paired with a practical office nook overlooking The Remarkables, creating inspiring spaces for work or relaxation.
The Income Advantage
The self-contained one bedroom unit, separated by a fire-rated wall and door, offers versatility. It has its own private entrance as well as a lockable internal door perfect for a rental or extended family stays. Use it as part of a five bedroom residence or as a four bedroom home with an income-generating unit, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and courtyard.
Thoughtfully Designed Bedrooms
The main residence offers four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The upstairs master suite features breathtaking views of Cecil Peak, a generous walk-in wardrobe, and a fully tiled en-suite bathroom. The three additional bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, share a stylish, fully tiled family bathroom with a separate bathtub.
A Structure That Embodies Craftsmanship
The home’s structure is a striking oversized timber frame, imported from Pennsylvania, dovetailed and pegged with mortise and tenon joints, a rare display of traditional craftsmanship in modern construction.
“The timber is both the structure and the aesthetic,” says Nick. “We spent years designing this home. I’d built with big timbers in Canada and wanted to bring that craftsmanship to New Zealand.”
A High-Performance System
This home combines timeless timber craftsmanship with cutting-edge Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for exceptional warmth and efficiency. The result is a beautiful, high-performing property that maintains consistent temperatures year-round.
“It’s not just one element, it’s a complete system,” Nick explains. “Airtightness, high R-values, minimal thermal bridging, underfloor heating, and mechanical ventilation all work together. That’s why it’s so warm and comfortable.”
Advanced Heating and Ventilation
The residence features hydronic underfloor heating powered by an air-to-water heat pump, zoned throughout the home and separately for the one bedroom unit. A Steibel Eltron heat recovery system ensures continuous fresh, filtered air, recovering up to 90% of heat. The home is also solar-ready for future sustainability.
Performance by Design
Beyond style, the home prioritises comfort, health, and efficiency. A fully insulated 200mm slab with thermal breaks, mechanical ventilation, and airtight construction eliminate condensation and ensure consistent air quality.
Outdoor Living and Orientation
The North-facing courtyard maximises sunlight, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with a barbecue. A 12-metre long herb garden along the fence line creates a low-maintenance outdoor retreat.
A Lasting Legacy
Built to endure, not just impress, 10 Rushland Road is a rare blend of modern craftsmanship and high-performance design. For those seeking a home that’s both intelligent and inspiring, this is truly The Builder’s Home.
