Methven

Nestled on a spacious section in Methven, this stunning home offers a perfect blend of sustainability and modern living, crafted to eHaus Euro standard. North-facing to maximise sun exposure, the home boasts uninterrupted views of the majestic Mount Hutt.

Designed for comfort and efficiency, this three-bedroom house features an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, with high-performance triple-glazed European timber windows to ensure warmth during Methven’s cold winters.

A large covered outdoor area at one end of the house is ideal for entertaining, while a timber pergola on the north side provides ample shading during the summer months.

Complementing the home is a separate garage and workshop, designed to match the main house with a stylish tray-style Colorsteel cladding and cedar boarding. The garage also includes a link to the house and is equipped with a large solar panel system, complete with charging capabilities for an electric vehicle.
