In the quiet countryside of Tai Tapu, this 4.3-hectare lifestyle block offers not just a strikingly modern home, but a welcoming community and access to unique natural amenities. Encircling kwila decks and generous landscaping extend the lifestyle well beyond the walls, with manicured lawns, specimen trees, and native plantings framing wide rural views.
Completed in 2014, this H-shaped residence features twin pavilions that naturally divide living and accommodation wings, all wrapped in an eye-catching Shadowclad exterior. The elevated position provides majestic sweeping views over the grounds and neighbouring wetlands, with protective trees creating a sheltered microclimate and privacy.
At the home's centre, polished American oak floors ground a living space combining lounge, dining, and kitchen. The kitchen is enhanced with a walk-in pantry, a freestanding six-burner oven, and a wide gas cooktop - perfect for effortless hosting. Window glazing sends light around the room and opens to decking and grounds, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
Living opportunities are expanded through a soundproofed entertainment room wired for immersive audio, a dedicated office for working from home, and a sizeable, insulated rumpus room or gym - flexible as a fifth bedroom or playroom. Raised ceiling heights in the living pavilion and floor-to-ceiling drapes add to the sense of space and comfort.
The accommodation wing delivers four double bedrooms, fronted by the main suite with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite with double shower, and direct deck access. Everyday comfort is reinforced by double glazing, heat pumps, and a log burner with wetback connection. The home is heavily insulated including internal wall cavities for year-round comfort and sound proofing.
Outdoor amenities include an irrigation system with multiple outlets to keep lawns green through summer, a three-bay shed for car parking (one bay enclosed) and two paddocks for grazing. The technical infrastructure supports future enhancements, with external wiring points for garden and driveway lights, powering the three-bay shed, and provision for electric gates.
Holmes Road is a quiet cul-de-sac, just five minutes from the thriving Tai Tapu community, golf course, and school. Residents enjoy a close-knit neighbourhood with Christmas gatherings and a community WhatsApp group.
Wildlife abounds - ducks, pheasants, herons, geese, and hawks frequent the neighboring wetlands and forest, while fertile peat soil supports rapid tree and vegetation growth.
This is a peaceful area to walk, bike, and explore, yet Halswell and the city are within easy reach. With its blend of modern living, natural beauty, and genuine community spirit, this is a one-off lifestyle opportunity with unmistakable convenience.
