Peaceful getaway
Sited brilliantly for both shelter and sun, this expansive lifestyle property set thoughtfully on just over an acre of privately owned land offers peace, privacy, and the luxury of space. The Graeme North designed home was the perfect choice for this setting and an ecovillage.
Designed with the Light Earth Method (LEM) the earth floor is always warm and with LEM there is a good mixture of thermal insulation, some thermal mass, and some sound insulation. This ensures the temperature levels are evened out making the home warm in winter and cool in summer. Having code compliance gives security as does the fact that it is low-density meaning it performs well in earthquakes. Accommodation is provided by three bedrooms and is complemented by the open plan living, with the kitchen featuring a large wood-burning stove which is wet-backed. Complementing this is solar water heating. Distinctive architectural elements contribute timeless appeal, while a range of heating solutions add to the warm and inviting ambience.
The home flows seamlessly to the outdoors with its beautiful natural views in all directions. From a tree-lined driveway with giant Kauri trees on either side to the wonderful hills and bush just over the valley. With co-ownership of these 37 hectares assures you of peace and privacy.
Set well back from the road and surrounded by trees it is hard to believe you are just off State Highway 1 and an easy commute to Auckland.
