Imagine waking up to this view everyday. Enjoy your morning coffee out on the deck then maybe an al fresco lunch a bit later, or how about an evening BBQ with family and friends watching the inlet sparkle as the sun goes down. It really doesn't get much better than this. When the current owners first saw the view they immediately fell in love with the home, and it's easy to see why. The contemporary build features high ceilings and large picture windows that give the home a sense of space and light whilst always paying homage to the incredible view. A lot of thought has obviously gone into the home's aspect and positioning as well. When you come through the front door it feels like you're leaving the troubles and cares of the world behind you. The home almost seems to cocoon you in its arms before opening out to the expansive view, and yet it's also surprisingly private too. Clever landscaping and judicious planting have resulted in sheltered intimate outdoor spaces and a view that's framed by bush. The location is spot on. The local pre-school and primary school are less than a five-minute walk away, the bus goes past the front door and you're close to Transmission Gully if you want to head north. The owners have said if they could pick this house and it's setting up and take it with them then they would. Come and see what they mean. Give me a call now or come along to one of the open homes.

One of only 10 homes in the Wellington region built to PassivHaus standards, its performance credentials are impressive, but first and foremost, this is a beautiful home, sitting quietly within its surroundings, slung low into the hillside and softened by earthy cedar cladding and thoughtful landscaping. From the moment you enter, the outlook takes centre stage. A hallway runs the length of the home, leading to a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, where extensive glazing draws in natural light and frames the landscape beyond. The kitchen is complemented by a substantial butler’s pantry, while a soaring recessed cavity door allows the generously proportioned family room to become part of the wider living space or simply closed away when something more intimate is called for. Large sliding doors open to the deck, and landscaped gardens, extending the living outdoors and providing a remarkable vantage point from which to watch the sun set. On the opposite side of the home, a beautifully considered courtyard with outdoor kitchen offers a more sheltered setting for entertaining. Cleverly positioned glazing maintains the connection between the two sides, allowing views through the home towards the ocean and Kapiti Island beyond. Accommodation comprises two bedrooms, both positioned to make the most of the outlook. The master is a beautifully resolved retreat, with bespoke cabinetry and a contemporary ensuite with underfloor heating. An office nook, separate laundry and an abundance of carefully considered storage add to the ease of everyday living. Behind the architecture sits an equally considered approach to performance. Deep eaves, striking geometries, triple glazing and a Zehnder ventilation and heat recovery system are among the elements that contribute to its PassivHaus certification, delivering exceptional energy efficiency, air quality and year-round comfort without compromising the integrity of the design. There is a quiet confidence to Echo House. Architecturally accomplished and technically impressive, yet warm, private and remarkably easy to live in, it is a home that feels removed from the world below. Echo House is somewhere to arrive, exhale, and simply stay.
