Commanding breathtaking views that stretch from the mountains to the coastline, across the Canterbury Plains and out to the lake beyond, this is a property of remarkable scale, craftsmanship and presence.
At its heart sits a architecturally designed three-storey residence built to stand the test of time. Native rimu ceilings, exposed historic Oregon beams, solid timber doors and handcrafted staircases create a warmth and authenticity rarely found today, while thoughtful architectural design ensures every space embraces the extraordinary landscape beyond.
Whether you're unwinding in one of two separate lounges, each with its own spectacular outlook, entertaining across four cantilevered decks, or retreating to the master suite with sweeping coastal views, every aspect of the home has been designed to celebrate its setting. Combined with workshop-sized garaging, independent water systems, extensive outbuildings and a separate cottage, this is a property that balances exceptional lifestyle with genuine practicality.
