A sanctuary of privacy, the exquisite garden setting and architectural style of this Lake Hayes home evoke a sense of place and permanence. Originally designed by architect Haden Emslie, a thorough renovation orchestrated by Anna-Marie Chin has elevated it to a haven of sophistication.

Interior spaces are thoughtfully designed to be intimate yet airy, stepping out to sun-bathed patios for alfresco dining and entertaining. Meticulously crafted by elite builders RBJ Construction, bespoke joinery and unique finishes adorn the open plan living spaces. The kitchen is superbly fitted out with Haro flooring, a striking marble bench top and splashback and bespoke timber cabinetry. A cohesive blend of textures and finishes create interest and define spaces throughout the home; a steel wall and concrete fireplace are offset by rich, comfortable furnishings. Light floods in to the living areas from dawn till dusk, filtered through the green and white Snowhill Hydrangeas surrounding the pebble-lined reflection pond in the western courtyard.

The well-proportioned master bedroom has an elegant ensuite and opens north to a stunning patio with Lake Hayes as a backdrop. Two additional bedrooms are beautifully fitted out, with one currently configured as a library creating an ideal space for relaxation and contemplation. The functionality of the home is completed by an internally-accessed double garage, extensive storage, powder room and dedicated laundry room.

In an aspirational lakeview position and part of an exclusive enclave, the landholding is bordered by neat hedging, with contours that take advantage of the outlooks across Lake Hayes. The glorious gardens that surround the home have been created by Paul Bangay, widely regarded as one of the world's foremost garden designers. Direct access to the Queenstown Trail invites residents and visitors to cycle and stroll through the leafy surrounds bathed in year-round sun. Residents can also enjoy the Threepwood pavilion and tennis court.

Making space in your life for the leisure pursuits which add so much to Queenstown living, this soul-nourishing home is one in which every detail has been attended to. As a holiday escape or permanent residence it’s a property that sets a standard worth seeing firsthand.
