Award-winning housebuilder Bargate has launched its 100th development: Shepherd’s Green, a new 97-home community in Hordle, Hampshire. Nestled between the coast and the New Forest National Park, the development is now available to view online and reserve off-plan, with the first show home due to open early 2026.
Shepherd’s Green marks Bargate’s 100th development in its 20th year, a landmark achievement for the Hampshire-based housebuilder. The scheme brings together a mix of one- to four-bedroom homes that combine traditional architecture with contemporary interiors. Energy-efficient design and modern heating systems ensure excellent performance, while Bargate’s hallmark craftsmanship guarantees homes of lasting quality and attention to detail.
The development will include 50% affordable homes in partnership with VIVID, offering shared ownership, affordable rent, and social rent. This ensures a balanced and inclusive community that meets local housing needs.
Spanning 12.2 hectares, Shepherd’s Green is a landscape-led development that prioritises open space and biodiversity. Almost half of the land will be dedicated to public areas, including play zones and a network of walking and cycling routes. These spaces are designed to enhance residents’ lifestyles while benefiting the wider Hordle community.
Mark White, Managing Director of Bargate, said:
“Shepherd’s Green is a defining moment for Bargate – our 100th development and a true flagship for the business. It embodies everything that has built our reputation over two decades: thoughtful design, enduring craftsmanship, and quality that residents can trust. This scheme will provide much-needed homes for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers, all within a setting that protects and enhances the village’s natural landscape. We’re excited to invite local people to reserve ahead of the show home opening and help shape this new community.”
Supporting New Forest District Council’s Local Plan, Shepherd’s Green delivers high-quality, energy-efficient homes that complement the character of Hordle and its surroundings. With strong local interest expected, early enquiries are encouraged.
