Douglas Spencer Building: Boulder Point Apartments BUILDING Positioned in one of Hanmer Springs’ most desirable pockets, a new collection of holiday apartments is taking shape in the heart of the village, capturing north-facing sun, expansive views, and easy walking access to everything the alpine township has to offer. Douglas Spencer Builders is delivering seven single-level, two-bedroom apartments within the Boulder Pointe Precinct on Chisholm Crescent, a development created by Christchurch developers Douglas and Julia Spencer. Purposefully re-imagined for modern living, the homes are designed to sit comfortably alongside neighbouring retail, while offering the scale, light, and quality buyers expect in a premium destination. Douglas, who has been developing property for around 25 years, says the location is one of the strongest the village can offer. “This is a prime central-village position,” Douglas says. “They’re north-facing, they get beautiful light, and the views are fantastic. It’s genuinely one of the best spots in Hanmer.” While the buildings were originally conceived with commercial flexibility in mind, generous footprints and smart structural planning have allowed them to transition seamlessly into spacious, residential layouts. “They were always big, well-built spaces,” Douglas says. “That flexibility has worked in our favour, because it means they convert beautifully into apartment-style living.” The redevelopment has involved stripping the interiors back and reshaping them into warm, contemporary homes. High ceilings enhance the sense of volume, while new window configurations draw in sun and strengthen the connection to the surrounding landscape. Julia, who leads the interior direction across the couple’s projects, has selected earthy, modern finishes aimed at creating calm, timeless spaces suited to both short stays and longer escapes. “We’re using lovely, natural tones and sleek finishes,” she says. “The bathrooms are fully tiled and we’ve gone with extra-large tiles, which look fantastic. They’re going to feel really luxurious.” Comfort has been a major priority. Each apartment includes a heat pump, and skylights have been expanded beyond the original plan to further increase natural light. “We were going to put a skylight in the bathroom; then we decided to add them into the living areas as well,” Julia says. “It makes the spaces feel even brighter and more inviting.” The remaining café and professional services within the precinct add convenience, while the flat village setting means owners or guests can park the car and walk to the pools, forest tracks, and main street hospitality. Compared with many of New Zealand’s traditional resort towns, Hanmer continues to offer exceptional value, giving buyers the chance to secure a premium holiday base without the price tag often seen elsewhere. Interest in Boulder Pointe is already building from buyers that recognise how rarely opportunities arise in such a tightly held part of the village. Douglas says the blend of sun, views, thoughtful design, and walk-everywhere convenience makes the apartments particularly appealing for those wanting both personal enjoyment and strong rental potential. “We’re building these to a standard we’d be happy to live in ourselves,” he says. “They’re warm, light-filled, and in an outstanding location. People will love staying here.” QUALITY IS OUR PRIORITY! 022 028 8055 www.tiktok.com/@tikitiling Proud to support Douglas Spencer Artist impression only Premium Central Village Apartments Selling Now Canterbury’s only full-service real estate marketing company Harley Manion 021 149 8050 WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008 6 Chisholm Crescent, Hanmer Springs Artist impression only Logan: 027 257 0276 logan@dyerdec.co.nz Proud to support Douglas Spencer Builders
