This home delivers an unparalleled lifestyle that is thoughtfully designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, set within a truly magical landscape. Facing west with sweeping views across a verdant valley to the stunning Akaroa Harbour, the 13,710 sqm (1.371 ha) site is enveloped in native trees and bush, creating the ultimate sense of privacy and escape.
An architectural masterpiece by O'Neil Architecture, the home features cedar and schist elements that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows and expansive sliders open onto generous decking, dissolving the boundary between inside and out. Living spaces flow around a sheltered outdoor entertaining area, warmed by a strategically placed log burner that heats the entire home.
The open-plan living and dining area connects to a sleek contemporary kitchen equipped with an island bench, gas cooktop and scullery. The lounge invites you to immerse yourself in the panoramic views - complete with a bar for entertaining - while a dedicated media room with projector provides the perfect retreat for movie nights.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with a luxurious master suite featuring walk-in robe, resort-style ensuite and captivating sea views. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed second bathroom.
Practical features include a double internal-access garage with ample off-street parking, plus a separate double garage/workshop below the main residence, an additional shed, and dedicated flat boat parking. A charming glasshouse completes the picture; all set within beautifully landscaped gardens.
With the golf course across the road, hotel, waterfront, local store and Duvauchelle School all within walking distance, and Akaroa's restaurants just 12 minutes away, this exceptional property offers true paradise in an enviable location. https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/34pawsons
