Award-winning Ararimu Country Home banner

Awarded Sustainable Excellence and Silver at Master Builders House of the Year 2020

Elegant and fun are two words we would use to describe this inviting country home, and it has a few little secrets…. we challenge you to find the wine cellar!

Purposefully designed to capture expansive views of the beautiful surrounding farm, spacious open plan living areas flow onto north and east facing decks on both upper and lower levels. Four bedrooms are well appointed for guests with four bathrooms and a downstairs media lounge with bar. The floating American Oak staircase leads you to the upper level, where the private master suite is closed off by a feature barn door.

This seemingly traditional country home is at the forefront of modern tech, with extensive Control4 smart technology managing everything from security systems, audio, lighting, heating and blinds, to controlling efficient use of the energy generated by a 15kW Solar System with energy storage and generator back up. Materials and systems were selected with sustainability aspect paramount.

The design principles throughout remain true to Harrison Lane’s core values; strong, substantial oversized aesthetics and dramatic proportions; created throughout with the use of high stud and vaulted ceilings.
