Architectural living above the landscape

Wake to the dawn chorus as Tui, Kereru and Fantails move through the surrounding bush. Private, peaceful and immersed in nature, this architecturally designed home offers an extraordinary lifestyle just 10 minutes from central Cambridge.

Built by its current owners in 2013, the home was purposefully designed for its elevated setting, the elements and the spectacular 360-degree outlook. Views shift from tranquil native bush to the wider Waikato landscape, Mount Pirongia and, on a clear day, as far as Mount Taranaki.

The architecture evokes influences ranging from Palm Springs to Central Otago. Strong contemporary lines are softened by warm, natural hues expressed through cedar cladding and carefully selected finishes. Materials and construction techniques have been chosen with the environment in mind, creating a home that feels grounded within its landscape while remaining comfortable, practical and low maintenance.

This is unpretentious, apartment-style living with the privacy and freedom of the countryside, a home created for living. There is an undeniable sense of "bach life at home", where relaxed interiors, expansive glazing and outdoor spaces invite you to slow down and enjoy the setting.

Two distinct living areas provide excellent versatility and separation. At one end, the private master suite includes its own ensuite, while the opposite wing offers two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate living area. This considered arrangement is ideal for families, guests or multigenerational living, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space.

The connection with nature continues outdoors. Generous decks provide places to entertain, relax and follow the sun, while the spa pool and fresh-water hot outdoor shower create a private bush-bathing experience beneath the trees and open sky.

Completing the property is a comprehensive 100sqm (more or less) shed. Double glazed, lined and insulated, it offers exceptional flexibility for vehicles, a workshop, creative pursuits or a home-based business, with it's own deck overlooking the Waikato, transforming this highly functional space into something truly special.

Private yet remarkably close to Cambridge, this distinctive property brings together thoughtful architecture, low-maintenance living, extraordinary views and an intimate connection with nature. The Dawn Chorus is more than a home - it is a daily retreat.
