The Land —
The primary title provides the foundation of the established estate. Existing infrastructure and an established residential precedent support the continued evolution of the visitor experience, hospitality offering, gardens, and carefully integrated premium accommodation*
Complementing the primary estate, the vineyard title combines an established boutique vineyard with significant future optionality. Whether retained as a productive vineyard or thoughtfully evolved, it provides an exceptional setting for future estate, accommodation, cultural, or philanthropic initiatives*
Elevated views towards the Little and Great Barrier Islands further reinforce its long-term appeal.
*Subject to the necessary planning and regulatory approvals.
And The Landscape
More than a series of gardens, Sculptureum is one of New Zealand’s most significant private landscapes. Woven throughout the estate, approximately 1.5 kilometres of walking paths connect curated gardens, mature trees, water features, open spaces, and sculpture, creating a landscape that has evolved over more than a decade.
Every pathway, garden, and gathering space has been thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, invite exploration, and foster a deeper connection with art, nature, and place.
For future ownership, the landscape represents an irreplaceable foundation that would take decades to recreate, providing an exceptional setting for estate living, hospitality, and long-term stewardship.

The Collection
An exceptional private estate combining internationally recognised landscapes, a celebrated collection, established infrastructure, and strategic landholdings within one of New Zealand’s premier lifestyle regions.
The Sculptureum collection is the creative foundation upon which the estate was imagined and realised. Rather than existing separately from the landscape, it is woven throughout the estate, creating a dialogue between art, architecture, gardens, and nature that continues to inspire curiosity, discovery, and connection.
Comprising works by internationally recognised and emerging artists, the collection defines the character of Sculptureum and contributes to its international standing as one of New Zealand’s most distinctive private estates.
Recognising that future ownership may have different aspirations, acquisition of the collection is intentionally flexible and may be structured in whole, in part, or separately, allowing the opportunity to align with the vision of its next steward.
Estate Infrastructure
Sculptureum has evolved into a fully established destination, supported by thoughtfully integrated infrastructure that complements the estate and enables exceptional visitor experiences.
Galleries, Rothko Restaurant, event spaces, commercial facilities, operational infrastructure, and supporting amenities have been carefully developed over more than a decade, creating a substantial platform from which future ownership may continue to evolve the estate.
Hospitality Infrastructure
Hospitality is an integral component of the Sculptureum estate. Over more than a decade, purpose-built dining, event, and supporting hospitality facilities have been developed to create an established platform for premium culinary experiences, private functions, and commercial activity.
At its heart is Rothko Restaurant, where Sculptureum’s creative philosophy extends into the culinary realm. Complemented by a purpose-built events venue, commercial kitchen, and supporting hospitality infrastructure, the estate provides future ownership with a substantial hospitality platform that has benefited from ongoing investment and offers multiple pathways for continued growth.
Commercial Platform
Purpose-built hospitality infrastructure, an established destination restaurant, and dedicated event facilities combine to create a proven commercial platform within the estate. Having welcomed more than 400,000 guests since opening, Sculptureum provides future ownership with an established foundation upon which to further develop complementary hospitality, dining, event, retail, and visitor experiences.
• Established commercial platform developed over more than a decade
• Multiple complementary revenue streams across hospitality, events, retail, and visitor experiences
• Significant recent investment in commercial kitchen and restaurant infrastructure
• Existing operational capability supported by established hospitality and events partnerships
• Capacity to further optimise commercial utilisation through existing infrastructure
• Flexibility to introduce complementary hospitality, culinary, retail, and visitor experience aligned with the vision of future ownership.
Residential Foundations
Both freehold titles benefit from established residential precedent, providing future ownership with a rare opportunity to further shape the estate.
The primary title includes a modest residence currently utilised for estate operations, while the vineyard title retains an existing residential precedent through a former dwelling that is no longer habitable.
Together, these residential foundations create exceptional flexibility for future ownership. Subject to the necessary planning and regulatory approvals, opportunities may include the creation of one or more significant private residences, thoughtfully integrated accommodation, health and wellness facilities, or other complementary estate uses that build upon the estate’s existing landscape, infrastructure, and vision.
