48 Anderson Park Drive, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

At the very end of a private right of way, elevated and with nature as its constant companion, this residence commands one of the most exclusive positions in the Anderson Park subdivision, with neighbours only on two sides and in an area celebrated for its quality homes.

Schist detailing and striking exposed beams create a refined nod to Queenstown’s iconic alpine architecture, delivering drama, warmth and unmistakable presence. The design is bold yet elegant, grounded in natural textures and executed to a high specification throughout.

Generous in scale, the home offers four bedrooms, two separate living areas and a versatile loft currently styled as a media retreat. The expansive kitchen, complete with a large island and well-appointed butler’s pantry, anchors the home in effortless sophistication — ideal for entertaining or refined family living.

Low-maintenance coastal planting enhances the setting, preserving privacy while keeping life beautifully simple. Neighbouring a piece of privately owned land, the current owner has intentions to plant native trees, with no further development.

Exclusive, elevated and architecturally compelling, this is a home that stands in distinguished company — yet answers to a standard entirely its own.
