Set in the beautiful Wairau Valley, this 2017 eco home was designed by award-winning Ecotect architect Mark Fielding and built by Townley Construction. With breathtaking views of the Richmond Ranges and Fishtail Mountain, it offers comfort, efficiency and self-sufficiency in one unique package.
The Home
- Passive solar design with north-facing windows, thermal mass concrete floors, and a handcrafted adobe wall that stores heat from both sun and fire and releases it slowly.
- Minimal heating required - naturally warm year-round.
- Locally sourced macrocarpa cladding, Douglas fir framing and wool insulation.
- High-end fit-out including Falcon range, Miele dishwasher, bespoke storage and hardwood decks.
Energy Freedom
5.2kW solar panels and solar hot water mean the owners haven't had a power bill in years.
"This home will achieve better performance than any other home in its category."
- Mark Fielding, Ecotect Director
Lifestyle Block
- 2.25ha fully fenced with orchard, raised garden beds, berry tunnels, greenhouse & tunnel houses.
- Coppicing eucalypt woodlot and firewood sheds.
- Two 30,000L water tanks plus shared bore water supply.
- 162m² Alpine shed with extra height for a camper or caravan.
- 6m x 3m powered studio with wi-fi and heat pump - ideal for home office or hobbies.
This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle of independence, sustainability and inspiration. A rare opportunity in the heart of Marlborough.
Eco, Sustainable, Inspiring - your future begins here.
