Property type and description

House

Recently built modern two story home located in the beach-side village of Sumner. We are nestled in the head of the valley with the Port Hills on our doorstep. Our house is on a large terraced section with valley views and is designed to be near passive house in energy efficiency. It is triple glazed and super insulated with a Solar PV system and stays nice and cozy year round. Upstairs is finished with native beech floors with main family bathroom for the three kids rooms and ensuite off the master bedroom. Bunk bed in one room, double bed in other other two - one on a rather high mezzanine so not suitable for little ones, and a super king in the master.

Downstairs has kitchen, laundry, living room and TV room + office. Ground floor is pet and kid proof polished concrete floors. Nice outdoor courtyard space with pizza oven and bbq. Large garden with lots of natives and ornamnentals + veges and + fruit trees. 6 chooks in a coop at the bottom of the section for fresh eggs.

  • Description

    Loads of walks and biking trails in the Port Hills, if you want some more challenge ride along the summit road to the Christchurch Adventure Park for some serious downhill action.

    Surfing at local beaches or good surf schools if you want to learn (summer recommended!). Explore the wider peninsula - Akaroa, Okains Bay and many other spots to check out.

    Great walk around the coastal cliffs out past the classic kiwi batches at Taylors mistake and boulder bay to the historic gun emplacements at Godley Head.

    Ice cream at Utopia a must do and Ms Peppercorn restaurant has as good a Sizchuan food as you will find outside of China. Fish n chips on the beach at sunset - Burger Stop is a good bet for these.

    Great windsurfing and kitesurfing in the estuary 10mins down the road during the summer. Lots of things to do in central Christchurch - Botanic Gardens, restaurants, shops, arts center, Museum etc etc. Bus stop right across the road with direct route to airport
