First Passive House in NZ sells at auction for top dollar

This is a house for the record books, being the first certified Passive House in the Southern Hemisphere.

Beautiful established landscaping is another bonus for buyers. The section is a massive 999m².

Warmth from the people living in the house and activities such as cooking and bathing all help to raise the temperature inside the house.

The house covers 323m² and, if it weren’t for the Passive House credentials, would be relatively expensive to keep it at an even temperature.
