Big Sky Farmhouse was designed with a simple layout that maximises the view.
An award-winning home that used cowshed technology in its innovative build is on the market. Former Olympian rower Campbell Clayton-Greene built the house eight years ago for his family, including three teenagers, but now life has moved on. The children have left home, and Campbell and wife Delwyn Clayton-Greene are moving to Cambridge so she can pursue a change of career. The property at 1233 State Highway 27, Kaihere is up for sale by auction on April 22. It is being marketed by Bayleys Hamilton real estate agents Karl Davis and Lee Carter.
