What's around 18 Doris Faigan Lane

Architectural brilliance with world-class views

Auction (unless sold prior) From 12pm, Thu 12 Mar 2026 3 Deans Avenue, Chch Please copy and paste this website address into your internet browser to download the property file https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5529696 Designed by Daniel Sullivan and completed in 2021, this is a home built without compromise. Engineered to a high standard and finished with precision, it delivers scale, strength and lasting quality. Soaring beech ply ceilings, the warmth of recycled Rimu flooring set the sophisticated tone. Every element has been very carefully considered. Every detail executed beautifully. This is a high specification home by an award-winning architect. The large living space opens wide to a west-facing deck through corner sliders with no centre post, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The harbour and crater rim views are uninterrupted. To the south, a rural outlook adds depth and privacy. Electric opening skylights, clever lighting, two heat pumps, a wood burner and solar panels with Tesla battery storage ensure comfort and efficiency year-round. The building is designed to deliberately mirror a kahu in flight, capturing views of both the lights of Lyttelton, through to Quail Island and Gebbie's Pass, whilst keeping the balconies naturally sheltered. The master suite has its own balcony, a large walk-in wardrobe and a generous ensuite, with underfloor heating, and a bath positioned to capture the sweeping views. The second double bedroom connects easily to the main bathroom and opens to the deck. A beautifully crafted, substantial utility zone blending modern with traditional warmth; includes a butler's pantry, an office/workspace, laundry, storage, and internal access double garage with doors at both ends for practicality. A powered kiln shed/workshop sits adjacent to the home, along with a woodshed. In the professionally landscaped grounds, a fully consented 24sqm double-glazed studio offers flexibility - a third double bedroom, guest accommodation, Yoga/Wellness workspace or Airbnb potential. Set on a fully fenced 2,690sqm section with easy drive-on access and ample parking, this is a private, one-neighbour setting with measured presence. A considered architectural home in a class of its own. Located within a two-minute drive to Diamond Harbour, you'll have easy access to local amenities, including the nearby Four Square supermarket, Two Thumb Brew Bar, Diamond Harbour School and KidsFirst Kindergarten. The property is within the zone for Cashmere High School, and the regular ferry service to Lyttelton connects you to Christchurch City - providing a perfect balance of tranquil coastal living and urban convenience.

Seller's review

Your 5 Star agents!

Both Liv and Tim have exceptional local and market knowledge and so it was an easy decision to engage them. Right from the start they knew exactly what we were aiming for in the marketing of our property. From the first conversation they came back to us with a brochure that required no editing; it had just the right amount of information and in the language style we wanted. Their communication was phenomenal, on some days it felt like they were mind readers. Their professionalism throughout the process was second to none and any questions we had were knowledgeably dealt with giving us great confidence in their advice, and ability to get us the right purchaser at the level we expected. It was pleasant experience to find agents that were conscientious, responsive, circumspect and rigorous in their dealings with us. They listened, they ensured they understood our requirements and they put in place a marketing package that delivered. They were impressive. We rate them very highly as exceptional Property Agents
