Set in the hills of Queenstown, this architectural residence, a statement in stone, plaster, metal and glass, is grounded in craftsmanship and layered with luxury. A stone wall perimeter gives way to an exposed aggregate motor court and the home’s private front elevation. Through a glass pivot door, a cedar-lined entry and European oak flooring set an elegant tone. The expansive living area is an instant showstopper, with panoramic Lake Wakatipu views framed by oversized sliders and anchored by a suspended fireplace. The kitchen, with a splashback of long, horizontal windows, is beautifully finished with oak cabinetry, a bespoke bar and a butler’s pantry.

This zone opens to the outdoor living, where the patio enjoys the shelter of automated louvres overhead and there’s an open fire, swimming pool and spa. Bedrooms are zoned — to the east, the main suite boasts a luxe walk-in wardrobe and marble-lined ensuite. To the west, two bedrooms share a wet room-style bathroom, while a fourth bedroom features its own ensuite. Smart, sustainable design underpins the luxury. From the layout to the lighting, every detail is intentional. A dedicated office, functional laundry, and carefully landscaped grounds round out the offering. For those seeking lakefront lifestyle with a design-led edge, this 344sqm home sets an elegant new standard.
