Set within the prestigious Te Kowhai enclave, 32 Lacebark Drive is an exceptional, award-winning residence occupying 2,424sqm (more or less) of beautifully landscaped, park-like grounds. Designed to capture uninterrupted lake and mountain views, this is contemporary Kinloch living at its finest.

Completed to exacting standards, the home was recognised at the 2021 Master Builders Awards, earning Regional Gold and a coveted place in the Top 100 homes nationally—a testament to both its architectural excellence and build quality.

Spanning approximately 320sqm (more or less), the home's striking pavilion-style design features three connected wings with gabled rooflines, allowing natural light, views, and flow to take centre stage. At the heart of the home, a dramatic open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space is defined by soaring high-vaulted ceilings, skylights, and expansive floor-to-ceiling picture windows that frame the surrounding landscape.

The intelligent floor plan separates accommodation into distinct wings—ideal for hosting family and guests. One wing is dedicated to guest bedrooms, while the main pavilion houses a luxurious master suite, fourth bedroom, office, laundry, and internal-access double garage. All bedrooms enjoy outlooks to the lake or mountains, reinforcing the strong connection to the outdoors.

Comfort is assured year-round with thermal-break double glazing, two heat pumps, and a log fire, while the fully tiled ensuite features heated flooring, double vanity, and refined finishes throughout.

Outside, established native plantings provide privacy and shelter, creating a tranquil setting that feels both expansive and intimate—one of the finest sites in Te Kowhai, with views that are protected and will not be built out.

This is a rare opportunity to secure an architectural landmark in one of Kinloch's most tightly held locations.
