With engaging architecture and astonishing views, this Wanaka wonder is sure to take your breath away.

The perfect alpine retreat, this home delivers 400sqm of lakeside luxury. A combination of smart design and unbeatable location make it a haven of privacy that’s still intimately connected to the outside world.

A built-in fireplace subtly separates kitchen and dining spaces from the main living area. American oak flooring and joinery add warmth and texture, which set off the dark granite kitchen bench.

Three bedrooms are linked by an external outdoor area, which leads to a separate office/bedroom retreat.

From the roadside the home offers a little teaser of the interior and northwest facing view of Lake Wanaka.

An internal courtyard with built-in lounge area and floating stairs is perfect for sheltered outdoor entertaining. The black-stained cedar cladding contrasts with the sloping cedar soffits. An ingenious membrane keeps the home airtight, while an extensive ducted heat pump system, radiator system and a fresh air unit ensure  the interior stays cosy and comfortable year-round.
