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.

Sunlight moves gently through each room, while the reserve and rolling hills form a soft, enduring backdrop that offers a calm rarely found. Completed in 2017 and crafted by David Reid Homes from an AD Architecture design, the residence sits confidently within Ferndale's architectural landscape. Floor-to-ceiling sliders and expansive windows frame the outdoors, drawing natural light deep into the home and maintaining a constant connection to the surrounding scenery. Inside, the home feels intuitive and beautifully composed. A refined kitchen with walk-in pantry sits at the heart of the open-plan living, unfolding into dining and lounge spaces that flow through to a covered deck. An Asador oven and adjoining patio create an inviting alfresco room for long, relaxed evenings, while a second deck offers a peaceful vantage point for morning coffee and reserve views. The gardens are full of life, with terraced beds and planter boxes flourishing with herbs, flowers, citrus and natives. A 20,000-litre water tank supports the planting and complements town supply, adding a practical, sustainable layer to the outdoor environment. Accommodation includes a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, two further bedrooms and a flexible study or single bedroom, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Underfloor heating, double glazing and considered insulation ensure year-round comfort, while an internal-access double garage, dedicated laundry and ample storage support everyday practicality. Beyond the boundary, Ferndale is a community in the truest sense - shaped by connection, care and a shared appreciation for its natural surroundings. Walking tracks weave through the reserve, a playground and community orchard bring neighbours together, and shops and transport remain only minutes away. Exceptionally maintained and bathed in natural light, this home offers a gently restorative way of living - a place to slow down, settle in and feel completely at ease. “For open home parking, we kindly ask that you park in the car park on Ferndale Drive and take a short walk to the house.”
