Country haven – Architect’s home

Exquisitely designed to flaunt a regional style of modernist architecture, a style that was introduced to New Zealand by Sir Miles Warren. Incorporating steep roofs and a one-room-wide floor plan, this carefully balanced composition gives the building a distinctive presence.

You are greeted by a formal country garden spanning almost half a hectare. The symmetrical garden is framed by a generous lawn contained by hedging and an avenue of established pin oak trees.

Entertaining is front of mind in the large central living area with the space extending out through sliding doors, evoking an almost al fresco ambiance. The kitchen, complete with a spacious walk-in pantry, is nestled in the northeastern wing, accompanied by a dining area and a den which boasts a beautiful open fireplace.

Located in the northwestern wing are two well-positioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate powder room and a laundry. The home was designed with growth in mind, preplanning has been done to add a future master bedroom wing.

The architectural charm of this home is not just skin deep; it’s in every detail from the feature negative detailing to the sliding cedar shutters that elegantly adorn its exterior.

Located within the village of Ohoka, offering a primary school and renowned weekly Farmers’ Market, plus being a short drive from Rangiora and Kaiapoi as well as easy access to Christchurch City via the Northern Motorway. This is lifestyle living at its best.

Being an architect, our vendor dreamt, designed, and built this stunning home. Having lived within its beauty for two decades, they are now ready to move on, making way for a new owner to forge their own lasting memories within its welcoming confines.

This property must be seen to truly grasp the elegance and simplicity of the Canterbury-influenced architecture embodied in this stunning home
