236 Mahau Road, Mahau Sound, Marlborough

New Zealand Winner

Aptly awarded as the National supreme winner of the Registered Master Builders House of the Year in 2011, this home has been beautifully executed, and embodies a balance of flexibility, function and form with award-winning architecture to match the majestic Marlborough Sounds setting. Use the home as a four bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling, or use the lower level as another living area, studio or home office with a built-in kitchenette and private deck.

Sitting on a land area of some 4,503sqm, this striking home is spread over two levels and makes clever use of the space with intriguing angles and inspired design. The owners currently enjoy a year-long summer splitting their year between this magical spot and the United Kingdom, relishing in the lock and leave convenience this property affords.

A perpetual wall of double glazed stacker doors connects the interior living with one of the deck areas. A second deck on the opposite side of the house means you have a choice of outdoor settings to bathe in the sun or retreat to the shade while appreciating the outstanding water views.

The dynamic lines of the main kitchen are complemented by diagonal Blackwood flooring and a wedge-shaped island. Other features of the kitchen include a wall oven, induction cooktop, concealed storage and recessed bench space.

The water supply is via roof collection and stored in two tanks, pumped to a further tank and gravity fed to the house. The Clearwater biolitics waste system has been serviced regularly.

Thirty minutes drive from Havelock (or 50 minutes from Picton), the stylish board and batten home is accompanied by an extensive list of chattels and is to be sold fully furnished. The foreshore reserve can be accessed by a track across the road and Havelock is some 20 minutes away by boat.
