31 Temple Drive, Twizel, Mackenzie

Homes of this calibre are tightly held in Twizel, and 31 Temple Drive is a clear example of why. Designed and finished with long-term living in mind, it offers a level of detail and cohesion that’s increasingly difficult to find.The exterior makes a strong statement with a blend of Cluden Hill schist, cedar, and plaster, while inside, the tone shifts to something more refined. Gable ceilings create height and openness through the main living zone, with natural light playing a big role in how the space feels throughout the day. A schist feature fireplace with inbuilt Spatherm fire anchors the room, supported by ducted, zoned air conditioning for consistent comfort.The kitchen has been executed to a high standard by Barrett Joinery, with a clear focus on usability. Caesarstone benchtops, a Smeg oven, a six-burner gas cooktop, and a butler’s pantry allow the space to function just as well for everyday use as it does when entertaining. Living flows directly out to two areas, giving flexibility depending on the sun and shelter.Accommodation is split across two levels. Downstairs offers two bedrooms with built-in storage, while upstairs is dedicated to two more private suites, both with en-suites and elevated ceilings that enhance the sense of space. The master suite stands out with its tiled ensuite, underfloor heating, and considered positioning within the home.Outside, the grounds have been set up for easy care, with established planting, raised vegetable beds, and practical storage, including a garden shed and woodshed. Well-located with easy access to Lake Ruataniwha and the wider Mackenzie Basin, this is an opportunity not to be missed, whether you’re securing a high-end holiday home or making the move to elevate your everyday living.Get in touch with the team at LJ Hooker Twizel today to receive the property file and book your private viewing.
