Description
Deadline sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Wed 25 Feb 2026
Set high above the harbour, this home captures wide, ever-changing water views stretching from Lyttelton through to the heads. From first light to evening, the sun and sea are constantly on show here.
The main living is upstairs, with logburner and polished timber floors. The open plan kitchen, dining and living room connect to a sheltered, covered balcony. This level is light-filled and practical, designed to make the most of both sun and outlook.
Downstairs, there are three double bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom and a generous entrance foyer which provides a welcoming arrival area and excellent separation between living and accommodation. Outside, there is extensive decking with a BBQ area and a lovely espaliered apple tree. The large 1,442sqm section is mostly bush-covered, offering privacy and plenty of space to enjoy without a lot of maintenance.
A separate double garage, excellent off-street parking for boats, caravans or trailers, and a quiet residential setting complete the picture. This is a home that delivers views, sun, space and practicality - all in a peaceful harbour-side location.
The Diamond Harbour coastal community offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful waterside lifestyle just 40 minutes drive from Christchurch City, or commute via a scenic ferry to Lyttelton, then hop on a connecting bus into town. Zoned for Cashmere High School, and with easy access to local amenities including the nearby Diamond Harbour School, KidsFirst Kindergarten, Four Square supermarket, three cafes and ferry terminal, this is a location that delivers lifestyle, connection, and long-term value.
