Gibbston Back House - New Zealand
This property exudes rustic charm with a modern edge, blending traditional materials with contemporary design. The facade is a striking composition of dark cladding and stonework, framed by greenery that softens the strong lines. Three prominent stone chimneys anchor the design, adding a sense of permanence and grandeur to the structure, while the gabled roofline gives it a classic yet contemporary silhouette.
Inside, the home opens up to a stunning living area under a vaulted ceiling, where exposed beams and timber floors create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Large windows and glass doors flood the space with natural light, providing unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. The central fireplace, clad in the same stone as the exterior, serves as a focal point.
The kitchen is a blend of modern amenities and rustic aesthetics, while the adjacent dining area, with its views of the outdoor spaces, offers a transition between indoor and outdoor living. The design is both functional and elegant, with carefully selected materials that echo the natural surroundings.
The master suite, complete with its own fireplace and access to the outdoors has high ceilings and large windows to enhance the sense of space and connection to nature.
The property also features a dedicated entertainment room, where a custom bar and wine storage add a touch of sophistication. The room’s design reflects the same attention to detail seen throughout the home, with a balance of comfort and style that makes it perfect for both relaxation and hosting guests.
