Overview

Hillside Living in Governors Bay

Set on the hillside above Governors Bay, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is positioned within a sheltered microclimate that enjoys strong sunshine and a close connection to nature. Skylights and a conservatory draw natural light throughout the living spaces, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area provide a practical and modern flow. The home is warm in winter with a fireplace as the main focal point, supported by a heat pump for year-round comfort. In summer, multiple sliding doors allow for cross ventilation and easy access to the surrounding outdoor areas. A multi-level deck wraps around a mature tree and includes an outdoor spa, creating a private space within the landscape. The setting is quiet and elevated, set back from the main road. Birdlife is a consistent feature, with bellbirds, kererū, hawks, piwakawaka and silvereyes regularly present. The garden reflects the unique conditions of the site, with established plantings including avocado and banana trees, supported by the warmer hillside environment. A greenhouse adds further flexibility and can be repositioned if additional space is required. Walking tracks lead directly from the property, connecting to the wider hills network. Governors Bay Primary School is close by, and the home sits within the Cashmere High School zone. Christchurch is approximately 15 minutes away, offering a straightforward commute while maintaining a clear separation from the city. With outdoor living, natural surroundings and strong sun exposure, this property offers a practical family home in a distinctive hillside setting.
