13B Tieko Street, Otaihanga, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Sooner or later the country is going to call and when it does what could be better than living in an energy efficient home amongst the trees. This beautifully elevated single level home has been extensively modified to meet the owner's ecofriendly lifestyle.

This has been done with the addition of modern solar powered roof panels with a Tesla battery allowing an off-grid existence at times. In addition to the solar panels the owners have installed quality double glazing throughout the home which is complimented by the natural thermal warmth from the abundant sunshine. Life amongst the trees has never looked so good with the home's elevation creating a private day and nighttime sanctuary.

Situated on the fringe where urban sprawl meets the Otaihanga countryside, this is a home that functions superbly for both families or for couples who like to invite their city friends out for the weekend. With its beautiful gourmet kitchen and generous living spaces the interior opens out onto both morning and evening sundecks creating the perfect place to meets with friends. You'll love the extra parking for horse floats, campervans or that oversize trailer boat. If energy efficiency and the peace and quiet are calling, welcome home.
