17 Doug Ledgerwood Drive, Wanaka, Otago Architectural Elegance in Alpine Estate

This high performing healthy home is nestled in prestigious Alpine Estate on a sweeping corner site boasting privacy and tranquility. Split over two main buildings an enclosed linkway joins the two spaces.

On the western side at the end of the hallway, you emerge into a light-filled auditorium that comprises the open-plan designer kitchen, dining and sunken lounge. Generous natural light is a result of oversized stacking doors opening out on to a private courtyard with built-in seating and BBQ area. The windows in this home are not standard either - instead they are thermally broken windows with low-E argon-filled glass recessed back into the wall frames.

Across the linkway, are three additional double bedrooms making this a generous and comfortable four-bedroom home. The principle bedroom includes an ensuite and an integrated wardrobe. All three bathrooms are tiled from floor to ceiling creating a luxurious spa-like feel with brass tapware and vertically positioned bespoke subway tiles.

The eastern side of the property features a separate bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom which the owner's currently operate as a rental unit. Attached is a spacious double garage and incorporates the home's laundry and full-home water filtration system.

An exceptional level of insulation throughout the home exceeds current building code requirements. A full underfloor heating system (even in the garage for the dog!) keeps the entire home at a luscious 20-23 degrees throughout the winter months. No need to grab your slippers and dressing gown when you wake up - this home does winter incredibly well.

Unlike many new homes, the one thing you won't find is condensation. A mechanical ventilation heat recovery system throughout means you don't have to open windows in winter to air out bathrooms or to bring fresh air into the home. This retains a warmer and drier indoor environment, which prevents mould and mildew growing so you know your home is healthy for you and your family.

A home not to be missed.
