The Treehouse — a visionary haven

Auction (unless sold prior)

12pm, Thu 11 Dec 2025

3 Deans Ave, Christchurch

Conceived by renowned architect Colin Pilbrow, The Treehouse stands as a masterful example of what can be achieved when design and imagination work in perfect harmony. This remarkable retreat captures the essence of Akaroa living — creative, calm, and deeply connected to nature.

Tucked within one of Akaroa's most desirable locations, the home sits gracefully beneath a lush canopy of mature trees, creating a sanctuary of peace just moments from the waterfront and the town's best cafés, restaurants, and bars. The setting is magical — sunlight filters through leaves while birdsong fills the air as you are visited by the local tui.

Inside, beautifully curated interiors reveal a series of intimate spaces that flow effortlessly from one to another, each celebrating texture, warmth, and craftsmanship. The design allows you to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding environment, blurring the line between indoors and out.

Flexible in configuration, The Treehouse can function as a two-bedroom residence, or be adapted into a one-bedroom apartment-style home with a single garage. This versatility makes it an inspired alternative to apartment living, offering privacy, character, and space without compromise. It also presents an exceptional opportunity for a night-by-night Airbnb-style investment, perfectly positioned to attract visitors who wish to experience the charm and sophistication of Akaroa from a truly unique base.

For the discerning buyer, The Treehouse is more than a home — it is a living artwork, where design, setting, and lifestyle converge. Rarely does a property of such individuality and aesthetic integrity become available in Akaroa.
