A precision engineered, net positive home in Gledswood Hills has sold for $3.2 million. The sale price for Shinka House by Shawood (pictured above and below), the premium homebuilding brand of Sekisui House, beat the suburb’s previous record by more than $400,000.
Shinka, which means evolution in Japanese, offers luxury living complete with a wellness centre, wine cellar, expansive living zones, and a seamless connection between design and technology.
Shawood homes are pre-engineered with precision at Sekisui House’s Ingleburn factory, where innovative technology is leveraged to deliver higher accuracy and quality in construction.
Unlike traditional building methods, Shawood’s leading build-approach enhances energy efficiency by eliminating gaps and leaks, ensuring homes stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
With superior insulation, natural ventilation systems, and high quality sustainable materials, homeowners benefit from lower energy bills, minimal maintenance, and a home designed for long-term comfort and efficiency.
The company has now also unveiled Shinka II – the second cutting edge net zero home in its innovative Shinka home collection. Currently on the market for $3.5m, Shinka II offers pre-engineered luxury living, in the heart of the highly sought-after master planned community, Norman Estates by Sekisui House.
Norman Estates is Australia’s first collaboration between golfing legend and businessman, Greg Norman and Sekisui House Australia, blending Shawood’s innovative design and technology with Norman Estates’ premium lifestyle vision.
“Norman Estates has been a resounding success, and Shinka II is the exceptional standout of our final release of 16 homes at Norman Estates, offering a truly unique opportunity to be part of this prestigious community,’’ says Hironobu Seto, group CEO and managing director at Sekisui House Australia.
“Our first Shinka home in 2021 was met with overwhelming demand, and with Shinka II, we’ve raised the bar even further, delivering a home that redefines premium living in one of Sydney’s strongest growth regions.
“We are incredibly proud to build on the success of our Shinka blueprint, creating a pre-engineered net zero home where comfort, quality and opulence truly intersect.”
Since launching in 2022, Norman Estates has achieved 15 of the 16 highest house sales in Gledswood Hills, with 13 homes selling for more than $2 million.
“Shinka II at Norman Estates really is the jewel in the crown – a residence that not only exudes features to envy, but creates a home that continues to set energy efficiency standards,’’ said the golfing legend.
“I’m extremely proud of what we have delivered at Norman Estates and extend a warm welcome to the final few homeowners who will call this community home.’’
