Two Dwellings As One - Live and Work from Home...


Click here to view a Walkthrough video of the property
Just a 16km drive from the city of Christchurch and an incredibly scenic, ten minute drive to the vibrant Port of Lyttleton, Governors Bay is a small but popular seaside settlement with a strong sense of community. Like many of the neighbouring properties, this quintessential Governors Bay home blends seamlessly with the natural bush-like environment yet stands out as a home with many points of difference. The enchanting character emanates from the relaxed use of a variety of timbers both inside and out to combine with an empathetic attention to detail creating a timeless and authentic style. Dual living areas are expansive and positioned each side of a large entry foyer. Clearly the 315sqm, five bedrooms plus study main dwelling is well suited to family living but is also the ideal platform for large scale entertaining. With extensive outdoor flow to a variety of sun-drenched decks and sheltered hide-aways, the remarkable views over the Bay and Lyttelton Harbour are evident from almost every aspect of the home. The adjacent garaging could house up to four vehicles, or three plus a workshop. The property as a whole is comprised of two dwellings on a 2,331sqm site. In addition to the main house, with adjacent triple garaging there is a quite separate 112sqm, three level studio offering fully self-contained guest accommodations along with an art studio-cum-office, again supported with its own kitchenette and wc. A modern addition, this dwelling features double-glazing and allows a variety of options for generational family living along with work from home lifestyles. A single garage with workshop is below. This is a beautiful property, very well established and a wonderful place for exploring through the bush retreats and pathways. Our vendors are looking to sell the entire property as one, or will complete the approved subdivision and sell the main dwelling.
