Sitting in the middle of the lush green fields of New Zealand stands a grand two-storey home that was put together with just a dozen abandoned shipping containers.
The property overlooking the hills of Waikato, in the country’s north, has six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool and space for six cars over 6,221sqm.
An expansive backyard leads to a smaller cottage at the edge of the property along with the garage.
Visitors can enjoy a dip in the infinity pool out the front of the house that is only accessed through an automatic glass door.

The shipping containers are now unrecognisable after being painted black and transformed into the sleek and industrial-styled design of the two-storey home
The property was built using 12 old containers that cost just $3,000 to $10,000 each.
David Wade started working on the passion project in October 2016 with a grand design to turn discarded containers into a cost-effective building.
The containers are now unrecognisable after being painted black and transformed into the sleek and industrial-styled design of the two-storey home.
The doors of some have been sealed shut while others open and close from room to room.
The property also comes with a separate cottage which has its own private deck looking over the lush greenery of the area
