Northlake is one of Wanaka’s premier residential developments, where G.J. Gardner Homes has long shared and supported the vision of what’s on offer.
Its hugely popular ‘Aspiring’ show home on Mount Linton Ave, specifically designed for Northlake by architectural designer Steve Henderson, has been a highly successful showcase for this quality development.
Since the doors opened on the show home three years’ ago, hundreds of people with a passion for alpine village living have visited the subdivision.
“They love being able to touch and feel and see the kind of home they may be looking to build,” says Chris Hogan, who is G.J. Gardner Homes’ Wanaka branch manager.
“It’s great for us to be able to show people what to expect and to have a base price to work from.”
There has been no shortage of admirers for the three-bedroom, 127sqm home that features cedar cladding, alpine tray roofing, vaulted ceilings in spacious open plan living areas and easy outdoor living, (incorporating a gorgeous Trendz outdoor fire).
Now G.J. Gardner Homes is poised to follow this show home’s success – its second at Northlake – with another new show home for the development, due to open in late June at 24 Glen Dene Crescent.
It will showcase another outstanding design by Steve Henderson that ticks all the boxes for quality. “This is a two-storey home and we have upped the specifications to show all the features you can have in a home.”
In total, Northlake offers 10 exclusive home designs that blend perfectly with the traditional look of the area, while offering all the comfort, warmth and functionality of modern architecture.
Each can be customised to suit individual preferences. For example, cladding options include cedar, schist, Linea® weatherboard, pressed metal, and board and batten.
Those choosing Northlake can also design their own home, within set covenants to ensure the quality of the development is maintained.
“Northlake has its own unique style, reflecting the rural landscape and the area’s traditional architecture of steep roof pitches and gabled ends.”
Currently, G.J. Gardner Homes has 12 new houses under construction at Northlake and anticipates building another 25 over the coming year to 18 months.
G.J. Gardner Homes Wanaka has 12 new houses under construction at Northlake and anticipates building another 25 over the coming year to 18 months.
“From our perspective this is a quality subdivision that has been well-planned, well-administered and well-managed and it has gone out of its way to be in keeping with Wanaka’s special look, feel and character. We also have a wonderful working relationship with both the developer and the designer.”
Chris says most people buying into Northlake are from the Otago region and lower South Island, with a smaller minority being investors or overseas purchasers. Many are attracted to the prospect of owning their own ski-lodge style holiday home.
Northlake is located close to Wanaka’s town centre, schools, Lake Wanaka, the Clutha River and the region’s wider recreational opportunities.
The development includes a planned village centre with dedicated office and retail spaces. Northlake’s new café and bar is on track to open in December 2018.
Beyond Northlake and Wanaka, G.J. Gardner Homes is building for clients throughout the wider Queenstown Lakes District housing market with many other homes under construction.
