Property Description

Positioned within the hillside setting of Diamond Harbour, 49 James Drive is an architectural residence shaped by geometry, elevation, and outlook.

Two interconnected octagonal forms create a striking structure, where six metre ceilings introduce volume and light. Above, double glazed ceiling roses frame the sky, bringing a constant sense of movement and connection to the elements. Living spaces open to front-facing balconies, extending naturally toward the coastal landscape and supporting both relaxed living and entertaining.

The layout is thoughtfully arranged, balancing openness with a sense of privacy throughout. Below, a fully self-contained level with kitchen and bathroom facilities offers flexibility for guests, extended family, or use as a media or games space. A built-in sauna, with its own bathroom amenities, adds a considered element of relaxation and retreat.

Set within a location known for its tranquillity and community, and within reach of Christchurch, the property offers both seclusion and accessibility. In a market where individuality is increasingly sought, this is a home that stands apart.
