First Time Ever for Sale - Outstanding Opportunity

Being owned by multiple generations of just one family is testament to how special this property truely is.
Built in approx 1950, this cedar clad home was designed by renowned mid century modernist architects Pascoe & Hall for the owner. Pascoe and Hall had a reputation as one of the foremost Post War Modernist architectural firms in the country. Houses were carefully planned, modest, and portrayed qualities in tune with the local environment (ref:nzhistory.govt.nz)

This property really is the ultimate one bedroom home. Carefully designed to soak in and sync with the incredible environment that surrounds it. Perched above Sumner beach and Moncks Bay on the sought after lower slopes of Clifton, it's position is superb. Tucked away from the cool easterly yet drenched in sun, this property embraces one of Christchurch's most favoured and spectacular views. Ocean, estuary, sail boats, water sports, Alps, twinkling night lights, moons, stars, storms and incredible sunsets. Bird song and waves are your accompaniment. Double glazed, updated kitchen and bathroom. Induction hob, dishwasher, heat pump and underfloor insulation. This is the ultimate retreat space to come home to or carry out your work from.

The 1,146m2 (more or less) section has a whimsical feel with quaint pathway, plantings and opportunity abounds for those with vision and creative flair. Single car garage with power to charge the EV (or an incredible workshop with extraordinary views) off-street parking and Mulgans track at your back doorstep ensures ease of access from beach and Bay.

It is now time for our owner to move from the hill. This property presents an incredible opportunity to use your vision to develop and enhance or live in and enjoy.
Do not delay! Available for the first time in 75 years, this opportunity will likely not come again for a very long time.
