Elevated living, exceptional views
Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
2pm, Thu 8 Oct 2026
6A Wakefield Ave, Sumner
Set in an elevated position on Mt Pleasant, this remarkable property looks across the estuary and Pegasus Bay to the Kaikoura Ranges, with the city, Canterbury Plains and Southern Alps completing an extraordinary panorama. It is a setting that feels expansive, private and completely connected to the landscape.
From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of space. A long driveway leads to a generous, level plateau, providing easy access and excellent parking for family and guests. The home itself has been thoughtfully built for both permanence and comfort, with reinforced concrete construction, core-filled block walls, double glazing and modern insulation.
Inside, generous proportions and natural materials create an inviting sense of warmth. The kitchen, dining and living areas form the heart of the home, opening effortlessly to the outdoors. Vaulted Macrocarpa ceilings and substantial timber beams - milled from trees grown on the property - bring a distinctive character that cannot be replicated.
Floor-to-ceiling doors extend the living areas onto the deck and beautifully landscaped gardens, making it easy to move between inside and out and to appreciate the changing light and seasons across the view.
Upstairs, the private main bedroom suite is a particularly special retreat, it captures the full breadth of the outlook and provides a quiet place from which to enjoy it.
Two further bedrooms and an office provide flexibility for family living, guests or working from home. The current owners have used the separate downstairs bedroom area for an Airbnb. An internal-access double garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, equipment and storage.
Outside, established gardens take advantage of the property's favourable microclimate, creating a mature and beautifully private setting around the home.
This is a substantial residence with a rare combination of scale, construction, privacy and outlook - the kind of property that is increasingly difficult to find on the Port Hills.
For those looking for something exceptional rather than simply another house on the hill, this is an opportunity worth experiencing in person.
