Built for his own family's enjoyment, 2 Carrickmore Crescent reflects the extra care, practical thinking and attention to detail you would expect from someone creating their own home. From the layout and materials through to the finishing touches, there is a sense that every decision has been made with long-term living in mind.

Set on an elevated 1,344sqm site in The Preserve, the substantial 232sqm home combines generous proportions with an easy, functional layout. Vaulted ceilings and exposed timber trusses create character and volume through the main living area, while large windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding mountain outlook.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a standout. Curved stone detailing, quality appliances, generous bench space and a spacious scullery make it as practical as it is impressive. Open-plan living flows naturally to the sheltered outdoor entertaining area, creating plenty of space for family life, relaxed weekends and entertaining friends.

The accommodation has been cleverly designed with flexibility in mind. The private master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite, while two further generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a versatile fourth room. Use it as a guest bedroom, kids' playroom, media room or home office - it is a smart addition that allows the home to adapt as your family and lifestyle change.

Comfort has been designed into the home from the outset, with ducted heating, underfloor heating and an enclosed fireplace keeping things warm through a Wānaka winter. Natural stone, custom joinery, warm timber features and carefully selected finishes add another layer of quality, while still giving the home a relaxed and welcoming feel.

Practical thinking continues throughout, with a generous double garage, excellent attic storage and solar panels paired with 16kW of battery storage, helping make the most of the home's energy generation. Outside, the expansive 1,344sqm section provides genuine breathing room around the home - a sense of space that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Elevated within The Preserve, the property makes the most of its position, sunshine and mountain outlook while providing a home that feels substantial, considered and ready to enjoy.

This is more than a beautifully finished new home. It is a builder's own home, created with the benefit of experience and an eye for the details that matter once you actually live there. Come along to the next open home or contact us to arrange your private viewing of 2 Carrickmore Crescent.
