10.19 ha
Two freehold titles
Sculptureum & Oak Hill Vineyard
One of New Zealand’s most significant estate opportunities
38–40 Omaha Flats Road, Matakana Coast — 10.19 hectares of internationally recognised landscapes, six galleries, a celebrated collection, Rothko Restaurant and Oak Hill Vineyard — an 11-acre vineyard overlooking the Barrier Islands — one hour north of Auckland.
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.*
*Subject to the necessary planning and regulatory approvals.
More than a series of gardens, Sculptureum is one of New Zealand’s most significant privately owned landscapes, welcoming visitors to experience its unique blend of art, nature, and design. Approximately 1.5 kilometres of walking paths connect curated gardens, mature trees, water features, open spaces, and sculpture—a landscape that has evolved over more than two decades, creating an extraordinary foundation for future stewardship.
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 — a dialogue between art, architecture, gardens and nature that continues to inspire curiosity, discovery and connection.
Over 800 curated works — including pieces associated with Picasso, Rodin, Cézanne, Warhol and Chihuly — deliberately assembled to be accessible, surprising and emotionally resonant.
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, aligning with the vision of its next steward.
Galleries, Rothko Restaurant, event spaces, commercial facilities, operational infrastructure and supporting amenities have been carefully developed over more than a decade — a substantial platform from which future ownership may continue to evolve the estate. At its heart is Rothko, where Sculptureum’s creative philosophy extends into the culinary realm, complemented by a purpose-built events venue and commercial kitchen.
Purpose-built hospitality infrastructure, an established destination restaurant and dedicated event facilities combine to create a proven commercial platform within the estate.
When people first discover Sculptureum, they naturally focus on the art. Then they discover the hospitality. What many don’t immediately realise is that Sculptureum also sits within one of New Zealand’s most influential wine corridors.
The Oak Hill Vineyard story was inspired by pioneering Matakana wines such as Providence and The Antipodean — labels that helped establish the region’s reputation amongst collectors and wine enthusiasts both here and abroad. Providence, founded by Jim Vuletic following the success of The Antipodean, is regarded by many wine collectors as one of New Zealand’s most prestigious Bordeaux-inspired producers and remains one of the benchmark names in the region’s winemaking history.
Today, Sculptureum’s wines are supported by some of the industry’s most respected names. Consultant winemaker Tony Pritchard brings decades of experience and guidance, while production is undertaken by Pete Turner at Brix & Co, one of New Zealand’s leading boutique winemaking facilities.
Add neighbouring vineyard legends, an 11-acre vineyard overlooking the Barrier Islands, world-class hospitality through Rothko Restaurant, and internationally significant art collections, and it becomes clear that Sculptureum is far more than an art destination.
