An Architectural Vision – EarthSea

Cradled by native landscapes with commanding views of the Motupipi Estuary, EarthSea stands as an exclusive lifestyle sanctuary, making its premiere on the market.

Home to landscape artist Peter Geen, EarthSea transcends everyday living, incorporating a gallery/studio space in its secondary wing, blending artistic endeavor with family-centric excellence. Architect John McDougall’s design prowess earned this residence the 2005 Master Builder’s House of the Year Gold Reserve Award, a nod to its design excellence.

Crafted by the vendors 20 years ago and presented as new, the expansive 312m2 layout encompasses extensive heating solutions and an earth-toned aesthetic to combine complete comfort with understated elegance. Two tiled bathrooms support four double bedrooms with outdoor access, including a master elevated by a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

The kitchen, with stone and stainless steel countertops and a freestanding stove fireplace, anchors the open-plan living and dining area, complemented by a second lounge and various outdoor spaces for unmatched entertaining.

EarthSea’s ecological ethos and commitment to sustainability are evident in its passive solar design, solar hot water, solar-assisted underfloor heating and an eco-friendly sewage treatment system that irrigates the lush garden.

The owners’ eco-conscious approach has reimagined this farmland as a native oasis beside a covenant-shielded wetland, now rejuvenated and meticulously preserved to nurture wildlife, including Banded Rail, Marsh Crake, and White Heron, in and around the estuary.

Beyond its idyllic 1.0893-ha confines, Earthsea is a stone’s throw from numerous leisurely pursuits; a 9-hole Golf Course, Pohara Beach, great cafes and Ratanui Lodge for fine dining.Buyers with an eye for sustainability and a heart for creativity are encouraged to act swiftly to secure this exclusive and unparalleled property.
