A brand new community built home in Wanaka is up for sale, with the proceeds set to go to non-profit organisation Parenting Place with the aim of helping over 300 families across New Zealand.

The house has been built by local Sentinel Homes Wanaka franchisee Bob Howden, supported by a group of generous local Wanaka businesses who have rallied together to donate time, money and resources to build a three-bedroom home for the charity.

The proceeds of the sale will allow hundreds of New Zealand families to access Parenting Place’s six-week Toolbox course for free. The course covers practical strategies and insights to better equip parents of toddlers, young children, or teenagers.

It features two living rooms.

“We’re so grateful to Sentinel Homes for rallying together a group of generous, local suppliers who have given products and services at cost. These are homes built with heart,” Parenting Place CEO, Greg Fleming said. 

“It’s exciting to know that so much mahi and aroha from the wider Wanaka community have been invested into this family home already and we’re incredibly grateful for the gift of the proceeds of this sale.”

The newly-built home has three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas. It is now on the market available for purchase, listed by Bayleys and priced at $995,000.

This is the fourth home that Sentinel Homes has built across the country to raise funds for Parenting Place.

“Our hope is that the family who buys this home will enjoy the open-plan layout, to create a family hub to enjoy meal-times and activities together,” Sentinel Homes director Stuart Shutt said.
