This stunning five bedroom, three bathroom home below Te Mata Peak offers an exceptional blend of space, style, and sustainability. 

Certified as a Passive House Classic, the home has been designed to provide a temperate environment, while consuming minimal energy and offers maximum comfort and health benefits. 

Solar power (panels and battery) also reduces living costs and environmental impact alongside significant water harvesting. Thoughtfully designed with family living in mind, the home features two luxurious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes—ideal for multi-generational living or guests. 

An open-plan living area with cathedral ceilings incorporates the kitchen with scullery, dining, and living area creating a seamless space for entertaining that naturally flows outdoors to a deck. A separate lounge and dedicated office provide flexibility for modern lifestyles. 

Crafted with care, the attractive weatherboard exterior is complemented by polished concrete floors and warm timber accents throughout, adding a timeless, natural aesthetic.
