84 Risinghurst Terrace, Lower Shotover

Built with passion and a respect for the environment, this new home is something to behold. Designed to be a self-sufficient house in a suburban area, the attention to detail is astounding. Creative flair meets ecological sense, and this home is definitely one of a kind. Designed with sustainable and low energy principles, this north facing home's features include high spec wool insulation, double glazing, a 3.2 kW monocrystalline solar PV system, a grey water system that provides water from the bathrooms to the garden, a motorised HRV system, a Maxraft fully insulated foundation system, an airtight building envelope with pro clima intelligent membranes, underfloor heating, and a rain water tank for water storage. There's even capacity for a composte system toilet if desired! But it's the little things that you'll fall for. The outdoor workshop has underfloor heating, the induction cooktop with sunken wok feature, the living room 8m high vaulted ceiling and clever hidden office space, the upstairs wood flooring recovered from Christchurch hospital, the hidden mezzanine in the spare bedroom that is every child's dream, the green wall over the claw foot tub. The mix of the old and the new makes this home a masterpiece. Pictures and words don't really do justice to this property. You've got to experience it first-hand. It's a credit to our vendors, but they're moving on, lucky you. Viewing by appointment....
