Description
This brand-new alpine chalet is one of just 10 in a boutique development, and the first to reach the market - a rare chance to secure your own slice of this growing destination. Designed with timeless chalet style, it captures the magic of winter evenings gathered around the gas fire and bright summer days that invite you outdoors onto the Kwila deck.
This 139sqm (more or less) home blends warmth, quality, and practicality. Striking raking ceilings and a mix of cedar, schist, and board cladding ground the design in its alpine setting, while full landscaping and window coverings ensure the home is move-in ready.
Comfort has been carefully considered - underfloor heating in all bathrooms, ducted heating, and noise-batt insulation create a cosy retreat year-round. The kitchen features stone benchtops and Fisher & Paykel appliances, while custom joinery in wardrobes and linen cupboards provides effortless storage.
The over-height garage is designed with skiers in mind, easily park with your roof box on, unload your ski gear, and make use of the dedicated drying system. This thoughtfully planned space is finished with ply lining, carpet, and a heat pump, creating a warm, functional, and practical space with ample storage.
Each of the three bedrooms enjoys its own en-suite, with the master further enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe. Keyless entry and smart design make this chalet equally suited as a holiday retreat, permanent base, or investment.
Methven offers so much more than just the slopes. Hike through native bush, ride mountain bike trails across the foothills, or experience the historic Staveley ice skating rink. Year-round, the Opuke hot pools and local dining ensure there is always something to enjoy.
Whether you are seeking a lock-and-leave alpine retreat, an investment in a fast-growing town, or a new lifestyle surrounded by Canterburys natural playground, this is a home that will capture both your heart and your imagination.
