Property details

Listing # H28827 | Listed on 13 February

This is a truly unique, large architecturally designed home, originally created and owned by renowned architect the late Steve McGavock (protégé of John Scott). From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a property of substance and vision, where thoughtful design and craftsmanship come together effortlessly.
Every window offers a wow factor, framing beautiful water and rural views and filling the home with natural light. The open plan living areas are generous and welcoming, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. These spaces flow seamlessly to a substantial covered outdoor entertaining area, complete with a fire, creating the perfect setting for year-round gatherings with family and friends.
The master bedroom is a standout. Spacious and indulgent, it captures fabulous views while retaining privacy. The ensuite is beautifully appointed, featuring a bath, walk in shower and underfloor heating. A dressing area with quality built-in furniture adds to a sense of calm and luxury that feels more like a retreat than a bedroom.
There are two additional bedrooms, each well-proportioned and supported by their own bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for family members or guests. Throughout the home, quality materials are evident, with a striking combination of beautiful native timber, polished concrete floors and natural timber ceilings adding warmth, texture, and architectural interest.
The kitchen is both functional and refined, complemented by a scullery and quality appliances, making it ideal for those who love to cook and entertain. A large laundry with dedicated drying space adds further practicality to this thoughtfully designed home.
Outside, the additions are just as impressive. A stand-alone studio room offers flexibility for work-from-home or creative space, while the lined garage and two carports provide excellent parking and convenience. Beautifully planned, easy-care landscaping that is guaranteed to wow as you walk through the gate that leads to the surprise of the Maraetotora River bordering the property.
This is a true one-off. It is your only chance to secure a home of this calibre, with this being the first time it has come to the open market. Do not underestimate this incredible property — it must be seen to be fully appreciated.
