Brand new alpine chalets - now under construction

Following the successful ownership of the first four chalets, six further brand-new alpine chalets are now underway within this boutique 10-home development - offering a rare opportunity to secure your new holiday home in this development.

Designed with timeless chalet style, each home captures the essence of alpine living, from cosy winter evenings gathered around the gas fire to long summer days that flow effortlessly outdoors onto a Kwila deck. Thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably within the landscape, these homes blend natural materials and refined finishes to create warm, welcoming retreats year-round.

Each chalet will offer approximately 139sqm (more or less) of well-considered living, featuring striking raking ceilings and a combination of cedar, schist, and board cladding that anchors the design to its alpine surrounds. Full landscaping and window coverings will be included, ensuring a seamless move-in experience upon completion.

Comfort and functionality are central to the design, with ducted heating, noise-batt insulation, and underfloor heating to all bathrooms creating a cosy and quiet environment in every season. The kitchens will be appointed with stone benchtops and Fisher & Paykel appliances, while custom joinery to wardrobes and linen cupboards provides practical, well-planned storage throughout.

The over-height garage has been designed with alpine lifestyles in mind, easily accommodating vehicles with roof boxes, providing space to unload ski gear, and featuring a dedicated drying system. Finished with ply lining, carpet, and a heat pump, this versatile space offers warmth, durability, and ample storage.

Each of the three bedrooms is designed with its own en-suite, while the master suite will be further enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe. Keyless entry and intelligent layouts make these chalets equally well suited as lock-and-leave holiday homes, permanent residences, or investment opportunities.

Beyond the home, Methven delivers a lifestyle that extends well past the ski season. From hiking through native bush and mountain biking across the foothills to enjoying the historic Staveley ice rink, Opuke hot pools, and local dining, there is something to enjoy in every season.

Whether you are seeking an alpine retreat, a lifestyle change, or an investment in a growing Canterbury destination, these chalets offer a compelling opportunity to secure a high-quality home in an exceptional setting.

*Included photos feature the completed villa at Lot 9 (sold), progress photos included of further chalets currently being constructed.
