Property Description

A rare offering of exceptional quality and considered design, this architecturally crafted home stands as one of the finest builds in the area. Created with an uncompromising commitment to healthy, low-toxicity living, it has been recognised by Health Based Building Christchurch for both its sustainable materials and outstanding workmanship.

Inspired by modern Scandinavian principles, the home achieves a refined balance of minimalism, warmth and function. Every detail has been carefully resolved to maximise space and light while maintaining a modest footprint that sits effortlessly within the landscape. Positioned on an elevated, fully engineered platform, the home enjoys sweeping panoramic views across the Mason Hills, with the Kaikōura ranges and Whalesback visible from the master. Privacy is absolute, with no direct sightlines in while retaining uninterrupted outward vistas.

The approximately 93 square meter layout is intelligently arranged across two levels, offering three bedrooms, a mezzanine with impressive stud height, and a practical, light-filled living environment. Interiors are finished to an executive standard, with a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring a Tristone benchtop, custom pantry and quality appliances including Fisher and Paykel and Bosch. The bathroom is equally refined with St Michel fittings, bespoke cabinetry and high-spec detailing.

Craftsmanship is a defining feature throughout. Sustainably sourced New Zealand timber has been used extensively, finished in organic Danish oils to support a low VOC indoor environment. A hidden fixing system creates seamless timber finishes, complemented by rosehead nail detailing externally. Performance has been prioritised with double glazing, high-spec insulation including Terra Lana wool throughout internal walls, and solid core doors for enhanced comfort and acoustic control.

Year-round comfort is assured with two heat pumps, a Woodsman Kanaku wood burner and gas hot water. Infrastructure has been equally well considered, including an advanced wastewater system sized for future expansion, extensive drainage, and a robust, engineered building platform designed for long-term resilience.

Set on approximately 4,000 square meters, the grounds offer multiple usable areas and future potential for additional structures, with established native planting beginning to anchor the home into its surroundings. Dual driveway access provides practicality in all seasons, supported by a stormwater system, security features and backup power connection.

Lightly lived in and never rented, this is a home conceived and executed for longevity, efficiency and ease of living. A compelling opportunity to secure a truly superior property in Bellbird Brae.
