Some homes are nice. This one is exceptional.

Perched at the crest of Skinner Crescent, this architecturally designed Lake Hawea residence delivers stunning lake and mountain views that stop you mid-sentence.
Designed by renowned architect Barry Condon of Condon Scott Architects, this is a home for buyers who appreciate design, light, and a connection to place.

From the moment you arrive, the architecture sets the tone - a striking curved cedar wall drawing you through to the heart of the home.
The main living level is elevated, open, and flooded with natural light. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and carefully framed sightlines place Lake Hāwea and the surrounding mountains front and centre. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly to expansive decking, ideal for entertaining or simply watching the light move across the landscape. A sheltered courtyard to the rear offers a second outdoor living option - private, protected, and still connected to the view.

The layout is intelligent and flexible, designed to suit both everyday living and hosting family or guests. The master suite sits privately on the main living level, while additional bedrooms, office space, and a rumpus/media room (or is it a fourth bedroom) are subtly tiered across the home. A large cedar door allows separation when needed - perfect for families, visitors, or multi-generational use.

Material choices are warm, tactile, and timeless: cedar and dark ribbed cladding, Southland beech acoustic panels, and polished concrete floors. Add hydronic underfloor heating, a woodburner, heat transfer, and integrated sound - and this becomes a home that feels as good as it looks. Set on a substantial 1,612 sqm landscaped section, every room enjoys a view - with ever-changing light, colour, and seasons as your backdrop.

Homes of this calibre, in this position, are rarely available. If lake views, architectural pedigree, and a refined Lake Hawea lifestyle matter to you, this is a home you need to experience in person.
