Eco friendly, self sufficient house powered by the sun. | House in Karamea
3 Bedroom House in Karamea
Granite Creek Eco Retreat is an eco-friendly, off-grid, self-sufficient home set between Kahurangi National Park and the Tasman Sea. Perched on a knoll at the edge of the park, it offers stunning views, abundant birdlife, spectacular stargazing, and breathtaking sunsets — all creating a powerful sense of peaceful isolation.
The space
I personally built this house recently with the future in mind. Designed to be passive and self-sufficient, it harnesses natural elements to maintain a steady temperature year-round and relies on the sun for heating, electricity, and hot water. When the weather cools, you can fire up the Rayburn wood burner for extra warmth, additional hot water, and the perfect slow-cooked casserole.
A 50 m² deck with stunning views makes outdoor living a pleasure, and the fire bath offers a relaxing soak to end the day.
The house is located near some of the best white-baiting spots in the country and less than 10 km from two boat ramps and multiple beach access points — ideal for fishers and surfers alike.
Karamea township is 8 km to the north and offers great food options, including The Dutch Oven Bakery, Vinnies Cafe, The Village Hotel, and The Last Resort. You’ll also find a Four Square, a hardware store, and an information centre that sells fuel.
This 3 Bedrooms House provides accommodation with Barbecue/Outdoor Cooking, Child Friendly, Internet, for your convenience. This House features many amenities for guests who want to stay for a few days, a weekend or probably a longer vacation with family, friends or group.
