Set within the exclusive Bayswater Subdivision, 16 Akau Place sits in a quiet, private pocket of high-end homes overlooking Bayswater Reserve, delivering a lifestyle that's hard to replicate this close to the city. Positioned perfectly between Christchurch's beachside suburbs and the inner city, the location offers that ideal balance buyers are constantly chasing - peaceful, scenic, yet incredibly convenient.
The home itself is designed to maximise its setting, with a stunning north-facing aspect that captures all-day sun while looking directly across the reserve. It's a view that feels open and expansive, something rarely found in newer subdivisions so close to town. Inside, the layout is both functional and generous, offering four double bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms, including a master suite complete with its own ensuite and a large walk-in robe with quality built-in shelving. The living spaces flow seamlessly through to a high-spec kitchen featuring engineered stone benchtops and quality Fisher & Paykel appliances, creating a central hub that works just as well for everyday living as it does for entertaining. A double internal-access garage is complemented by additional off-street parking, ensuring ample space for family and guests.
What truly sets this home apart is what lies beneath the surface. Built by Golden Homes and still covered by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee, it has been engineered for long-term durability and peace of mind. The solid brick exterior is paired with ZOG steel framing, designed and tested to withstand seismic forces up to magnitude 9. Unlike traditional timber framing, steel will not warp, twist, rot, or attract borer, meaning the home maintains its structural integrity and finish over time with far greater consistency. This results in straighter walls, fewer maintenance issues, and a level of long-term reliability that buyers increasingly value. Backed by a 50-year durability warranty, it offers a clear advantage in both confidence and longevity.
This is further supported by a Rib-Raft concrete foundation, widely recommended for Christchurch conditions, along with the HomeRAB system which enhances structural bracing while protecting against moisture and temperature fluctuations. Comfort has also been assured with double glazing and a heat pump to create a warm, dry, and energy-efficient home year-round. Fire-resistant materials throughout add another layer of safety.
This is a property that delivers where it counts - combining a premium outlook, a sought-after location, and construction quality designed to stand the test of time.
