Set for an exceptional outlook, 23 Ranui Crescent enjoys uninterrupted water and hill views that stretch from the head of our harbour to the lights of Lyttelton and down to Diamond Harbour beach and wharf. It’s a position that feels rare - open, calming, and completely private.
This thoughtfully renovated A-frame waterfront home has been updated with care, focusing on natural materials and longevity. Beech timber floors, solid timber benchtops, sustainably managed birch cabinetry, low-tox paints and glues, and custom hemp curtains create a warm interior that feels genuine, peaceful and easy to live in.
North-facing for all day sun, the house sits on a private 1,105 sqm section surrounded by established trees and native plantings, alive with birdsong and screened from neighbours. The layout works well: three double bedrooms (one with loft), a family bathroom plus a second toilet and vanity, and open-plan living designed to make the most of the outlook. The living area flows directly to a north-facing deck which connects to the garden. Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys the same wide harbour and headland views and opens onto a private balcony.
Built for comfort, the house is mostly insulated and double glazed, and heated by a wood burner and heat pump, making it warm, efficient and comfortable year-round. Practical spaces include a large lower-level workshop and storage area with its own deck, a woodshed, a carport, and additional off-street parking.
The setting is something special. Bordered by quiet bush reserve, the property links directly to the cliff track for coastal walks and beach access. A separate modern studio sits privately among the trees - an ideal workspace, guest room, or creative retreat.
This isn’t coastal showmanship - it’s quiet good living. Considered, connected to nature, and impossible to tire of.
