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 can only be accessed through an automatic glass door.
The six-bedroom property in Waikato, in New Zealand, has hit the market. The home was built from a dozen old shipping containers

The shipping containers are now completely unrecognisable after being painted black and transformed into a sleek, industrial-styled design
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 a sleek, industrial-styled design.
The doors of some containers 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
