| This newly
completed house sits on top of a sharp ridge on 16 hectares
of retired pastureland, with views over the Waikanae River.
The owners have planted extensive areas of trees for cropping
and orchards, and created a dam for irrigation and future
power generation. The house includes a Rayburn stove with
wetback, supplying central heating throughout plus solar
water heating, active solar space heating, automated window
ventilation, and rainwater storage.
