31 Temple Drive, Twizel, Mackenzie

Dream house, Dream location, Next chapter awaits

Designed and built as a dream home, this architecturally crafted Twizel residence is a rare opportunity - one that simply cannot be replicated. More than just a home, it offers a lifestyle of sophistication, comfort, and an unparalleled connection to the breathtaking natural surroundings. From the moment you step inside, the impeccable craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail are undeniable. Wrapped in a striking combination of Cluden Hill schist, cedar, and plaster, the home radiates timeless elegance. A soaring gable ceiling welcomes natural light, while refined schist accents and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create an atmosphere of effortless luxury.

The open-plan living area is both inviting and impressive, anchored by a feature schist fireplace with an inbuilt Spatherm fire. Ducted zoned air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, while two expansive decks provide the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation. At the heart of the home, the designer Barretts kitchen is a chef's dream. Caesarstone benchtops, a 1200mm Smeg oven, a six-burner gas cooktop, and a Fisher & Paykel french-door fridge/freezer elevate the culinary experience. A well-appointed butler's pantry adds both style and practicality, making entertaining effortless.

The home's four beautifully designed bedrooms offer peaceful retreats. Downstairs, two spacious bedrooms feature full wardrobe systems and a soothing colour palette. Upstairs, two private sanctuaries boast soaring gable ceilings, elegant ensuites and the main has rain sensor skylights. The master suite is a standout, featuring a tiled ensuite with underfloor heating and breathtaking views. A separate guest toilet downstairs adds extra convenience. Even the laundry, designed by Barretts, reflects the home's commitment to luxury and function, with custom pullout baskets, a drip-dry rail, and ample storage.

Beyond the home, the gardens and landscaped grounds are designed for effortless enjoyment. Lush lawns are maintained by pop-up sprinklers, while charming wood and garden sheds enhance the aesthetic appeal. Raised vegetable gardens produce fresh berries, grapes, and vegetables - perfect for alfresco dining. As night falls, unwind in the spa pool beneath a canopy of stars in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve - an experience like no other.

Set in a prime Twizel location, this home offers the best of both tranquillity and adventure. Enjoy panoramic mountain views and easy access to Lake Ruataniwha, a haven for rowing, fishing, boating, and water sports. Nearby lakes and ski fields further cement this region as one of New Zealand's most sought-after destinations. This is more than a home, it's an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity that rarely comes to market.
