Seldom do homes come to the market offering such individuality. 24 Channel View is one you need to experience to fully appreciate its scale, design, and presence.
A creative retreat and architectural statement, this is a home that sits well outside the ordinary.
Set across over an acre (4,000sqm) of predominantly native bush, the property unfolds as a series of interconnected pavilions, a signature of Sir Ian Athfield, where form, light, and landscape are deliberately intertwined. Originally built for the Cole family in 1975, “The Cole House” carries true provenance, with its iconic bottle towers, portholes, layered levels, and a striking mix of cedar and concrete.
The living experience is distinctly resort-like. Sheltered outdoor zones, elevated decks, and boardwalks weave through the site, creating a private retreat. The heated pool and spa form a central focal point, framed by lawn, native planting, and schist pathways, a setting that feels more boutique lodge than suburban home.
Multiple living areas provide both scale and flexibility, from sunken conversation spaces to expansive open-plan zones. A mezzanine office overlooks the main living, ideal for work-from-home. A separate guest studio with ensuite adds further versatility.
Significant upgrades include a new cedar shingle roof, new double-glazed cedar joinery, and extensive weatherboard remediation — ensuring confidence in both form and function.
Key Features:
- Five bedrooms plus breakout spaces
- Multiple living zones and expansive decks
- Heated pool, spa and landscaped grounds
- Guest studio with ensuite
- Double garage plus double carport
A rare opportunity to secure a true piece of New Zealand architectural history — private, design-led, and genuinely resort in feel.
