Description

Elevation is the byword of the design and creation of this unique home. High on the hill overlooking Queenstown’s celebrated Lake Hayes, its craftsmanship and performance are both at the pinnacle of contemporary architecture.

An exquisite merging of modernity with its alpine environs, the 479 square metre residence exploits compelling textures and bold choices through its captivating interior and exterior presentation.

The winner of multiple prestigious awards including 2023 Master Builders House of the Year, it’s a home that was crafted with longevity and comfort at front of mind. Exemplary eco-credentials and passive house design contribute to an interior that’s integrated wellness into its striking aesthetic.

Purposeful material choices create cohesive lines and forms which flow through from outside to in. Black steel, schist, concrete and timber contrast a luxurious ambience with industrial strength.

Configured as five bedrooms and four bathrooms plus two living areas, the generous scale emphasises space and fluidity. Rich bespoke fixtures and fittings illustrate the care given to every decision from conception to completion across its three-year build. Automated comforts and smart home systems future-proof the design, covering Elok access, heating, Sonos sound control, irrigation and more.

Firmly anchored into the north-facing slope, iconic mountain ranges of the Whakatipu Basin stretch away to the horizon in a masterpiece of seasonal colour and rugged peaks. Make use of the expansive front deck and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to connect to the landscape in this peaceful place. Gated entry leads residents and visitors through to over 4,000 square metres of land, planted with easy-care natives following a comprehensive landscape plan by Michael Wells.
