Set among beautiful homes atop Mount Pleasant, designed by Wendy Smith and built by Andrew Rollinson, this exceptional 6-bedroom 2 living-room home offers something truly rare in today's market: a perfect marriage of eco-conscious construction and modern comfort, all set against the stunning backdrop of Christchurch city views.
This isn't just another house – it's a 350sqm architectural statement built using innovative straw bale construction with a cavity system, representing the pinnacle of sustainable building. Those 600-millimetre-thick walls aren't just impressive – they deliver unparalleled insulation, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer while dramatically reducing your energy costs.
The environmental credentials continue with solar panels harnessing New Zealand's abundant sunshine, while two centrally ducted heat pumps ensure year-round comfort throughout the home, and timber double glazing adds another layer of thermal efficiency while complementing the home's natural aesthetic.
Step inside to discover polished swamp Matai timber floors that flow throughout, creating warmth and character in every room. The modern kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring quality tiles, engineered stone benchtops, and a substantial 900-millimetre freestanding stove that makes entertaining a pleasure. The luxurious master bathroom continues the quality theme with contemporary tiling, a spacious double shower, and his and her vanities – your own private retreat at the end of each day.
With 6 generous bedrooms and an office, there's space for the whole family, home offices, or guest accommodation, while the internally accessed double garage adds convenience and security, and the expansive 1,083sqm section provides room for gardens, play areas, or simply enjoying those incredible city views.
Mount Pleasant offers the perfect blend of tranquil hillside living with easy access to the city below. Wake up to sunrise over Christchurch, watch the city lights twinkle at night, and enjoy the elevated lifestyle that comes with City Hills living. 262 Major Hornbrook Road is where heritage craftsmanship, environmental innovation, and panoramic beauty create a home that's as unique as you are.
Mike is looking forward to hearing from you and introducing you to this very unique and stunning offering in Mount Pleasant.
