A priority of the owners was to have all the four bedrooms opening on to the outdoor area.
This has been achieved by stacker slider doors, giving a feeling of the outdoors coming in. The outdoor area has a warm, welcoming feel and is well equipped for entertaining all year round with an open fire.
Guests can enjoy freshly made pizzas from the pizza oven or the classic Kiwi barbecue using the gas barbecue out there.
Speaking of food, the kitchen is both a chef and entertainer's dream as the breakfast bar was designed to encourage people to enjoy themselves and keep the family and friends feeling united during any entertainment at the home.
Of course, family and friends could also enjoy the spacious living room which has the unique use of Gibbston Valley schist on the walls and around the fireplace, which complements the use of red beech timber flooring.
The exterior of the house is clad in Gibbston Valley schist and western red cedar weatherboard.
Vossen said the architect had pretty much nailed the plan before his builders picked up their hammers.
The successful build and the extremely satisfied clients emphasised how well the company could make plans come to life in a way that exceeded expectations, he said
"We have done a lot of work on various buildings on the farm and when it came to building, they approached us and as we had a long connection they had confidence and trust in us," Peter Vossen said.
The company, both the team of qualified builders and apprentices and the local trades people it consistently sub-contracts, were able to build a home that reflected the client's love of entertaining as well as giving it the desired lodge feel by using stone and local timber from the farm.
"It is affectionately known as Lodge 148 now," Vossen said.
