Creative, superbly specified and finished to an enviable standard. This superior home nearing completion is cradled in a secluded valley setting that has re-created sympathetic character styling of Lyttelton's 'settler' architecture combining with a 21st-century sophistication.

So much more than the urban lifestyle is on offer in this charming mid-slopes setting. Part of an exclusive community demonstrating Scandinavian flair and performance, this new home has the added pleasure of an extended port and harbour outlook from its historic orchard site that retains a signature of impressive, established trees. Project and housing design is by highly acclaimed, award-winning Bell Kelly Beaumont Team Architects.

Quality fixtures and fittings, timber joinery, high thermal efficiency and low maintenance exterior are keynotes. Ease of maintenance will appeal to those who place value on their leisure time.

With the wide range of local recreation, cultural and social options on offer, there are activities that are likely to entice throughout the year. Saturday Farmers' and Fishermans' markets guarantee a weekly source of quality, fresh produce as well as artesian created culinary delights. Award-winning restaurants, cafes and bars add a further layer of temptation. Recreation invitations extend from water-based pursuits on the harbour to hillside tracks that cater for those who yearn for the wide open spaces of the Port Hills.

Stylish and practical, this desirable property will have appeal for professional people and for those who demand quality of design, specification and finish. All this is in an exclusive setting that combines practicality with charm.

Viewing is strictly by appointment.
