Sanctuaries come in many forms, but few are such accomplished all-rounders. This lovely 480sqm home clad in schist and plaster is practical, sustainable, automated and undeniably luxurious. High-quality materials are hallmarks of this four-bedroom home, as is the craftsmanship, evident at every turn. They’re every bit as good as the outlook, which includes the green of the racecourse and the mountains. Inside, polished concrete floors are colour-tinted to match features made of stone from the Ōreti River in Southland. EzyJamb Inswing Door frames sit flush without architraves to produce a modern look with clean, sharp lines, as does negative-detail skirting that sits flush with the walls. That's attention to detail.

The main living space with slick monochrome kitchen flows into two living spaces, which open to a covered dining and entertaining oasis. The main-bedroom suite has a walk-in dressing room and ensuite, and both the latter and family bathroom are beautifully tiled. You'll also find a study, kitchen scullery and triple garage here. In terms of sustainability, there are myriad features, including an 8.3kW solar array with tilt brackets that optimises sunlight exposure for energy generation. Efficiency is enhanced by a heat pump that makes the most of any surplus energy. Technology takes centre stage, too, with smart features seamlessly integrated throughout.
