3 Deans Ave, Christchurch
Set into the hillside at 29 Bayview Road, this Ian Krause designed home makes an immediate statement. A bold, multi-level architectural form is built directly into the land, with crisp white lines, strong geometry and extensive glazing creating a home that feels purposeful, private and completely individual. Tucked within mature bush, it offers true seclusion while holding an elevated position above the landscape.
Inside and out, the design is all about connection to the setting. Slanted glass walls, split-level living areas and carefully placed windows are angled to capture uninterrupted harbour and hill views. Multiple balconies extend from the living spaces, providing ideal places to take in the outlook, sheltered from the easterly. The architecture is clever, distinctive and intentional with every angle working to maximise light and privacy.
The 1,161sqm section is a retreat in its own right, with meandering bush walks, a secluded spa area, and a sense of calm that's hard to replicate. The home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, LED lighting, partial double glazing, and is being offered fully furnished. A double garage, good access and off-street parking complete the practical side of the package.
Held and admired for 30 years, this is a rare opportunity to secure something genuinely different. Private, architectural, and with all-day sun, this is a home for buyers who value design, outlook and peace.
The Diamond Harbour and Charteris Bay coastal community offers the best of both worlds-a peaceful waterside lifestyle just 40 minutes drive from Christchurch City, or commute via a scenic ferry to Lyttelton, then hop on a connecting bus into town. Zoned for Cashmere High School, and with easy access to local amenities including the nearby Diamond Harbour School, Kids First Kindergarten, Four Square supermarket, and Two Thumb Brew Bar, this is a location that delivers lifestyle, connection, and long-term value.
