29 Newcastle Road, Hawea Flat, Wanaka

Looking to live among a small rural community and seek an eco-driven dwelling to call home? Then look no further than here! This architecturally unique home, designed by multi award-winning Gary Todd architecture, has been constructed using six shipping containers and a passive, sustainable approach. The owner's vision was to re-use materials, minimise waste, and create a light-filled spacious home that captures gorgeous alpine views from every room. His choice to highlight the steel exterior by letting it weather and rust naturally compliments the raw aesthetic and highlights the containers' original use. Spacious open plan living integrates well with the contemporary kitchen and a small media room on the upper level could suit as a home office, meditation space or personal exercise studio. If a third bedroom is required, then options exist to convert part of the indoor living area at minimal expense. An enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds, worm composting septic tank system and own bore with 30,000L holding tank provide all you need to settle into the good life here. Your options to further improve the 2,023 sq m grounds are many. The separate studio enjoys a mezzanine sleeping space and covered outdoor lounge. Set up your home practice or simply use the extra space for family members or visiting friends. Alternatively, this would also make a popular option for paying guests. Kids can easily walk or bike to the highly popular Hawea Flat school, offering an idyllic Southern Lakes lifestyle among mountain views and native birdsong. One where the locals trade produce from their gardens and roadside egg stalls still exist. If you're serious about making a rural move then this property offers the best of both worlds - an alternative lifestyle with a modern twist.
