The spacious open plan kitchen, living and dining areas enjoy those amazing views and connect seamlessly to the extensive decking.

It is a tranquil hideaway that soaks into its surrounds. The balcony continues to the gently sloping lawn in front of the house, which extends into fruit trees, vege beds and native planting in this 2,922sqm (more or less) property.

Practicality is also paramount, with a internal access double garage and four additional off-street parking spaces ensuring convenience for parking vehicles, boats and trailers. A modern post-earthquake build with cedar cladding and plenty of under-house storage, this home offers the peace of mind of contemporary construction alongside the serene lifestyle and abundant space that coastal living affords.

Nestled on the picturesque southern shores of Lyttelton Harbour, Diamond Harbour is just a 40-minute drive to Christchurch City or a quick ferry ride to Lyttelton, followed by a connecting bus to the city and is within the zone for Cashmere High School. This charming coastal community is renowned for its breathtaking views, peaceful environment, and vibrant local culture, creating a tranquil and scenic lifestyle that is hard to beat. The community is well-served with local amenities. The area boasts an impressive selection of clubs and groups, ensuring there's something for everyone.
