Vision- the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.
Visionary- a person with original ideas about what the future will or could be like.
Every vision needs a visionary. Someone with resilience and limitless optimism to take the vision from concept to completion. Jim Bisset was that and at Sanctuary he did just that.
Beginning in the early 2000’ s Jim Bisset set out to create a place for everyday Kiwis to be able to afford their own piece of the magnificent New Zealand native bush. Starting with a blank canvas of over 300 acres of dense native bushlands Sanctuary Place was born.

Living the life in ideal
Utilising the expertise in land development and civil construction the family began the daunting challenge of creating such a place unmatched in its physical beauty and natural state by using empathetic design principles.
Under the guidance of Jim the development grew and prospered. Today, the next generation of the family is proud to continue with his vision.
