In the quiet heart of Dalefield, this impressive residence sits privately on 1.1 hectares of land. Thoughtfully conceived, the grounds unfold in a series of composed moments; a tree-lined driveway and native plantings mingle with more formal hedging and a mature oak, while a tranquil fountain greets every arrival. The entrance sets the tone for a property where European influence meets the enduring beauty of Queenstown.

The residence itself carries the air of a Tuscan escape - elegant, sunlit and timeless. French doors open wide to patios, while the scent of woodsmoke curls from the outdoor fireplace and pizza oven. Interior spaces are filled with light and volume, with living and dining areas which flow organically around the striking black and white central kitchen. Dual lounges offer fluid spaces for effortless gatherings, one anchored by a Stovax log burner, the other by an open wood fire, both framed by robust metal surrounds that visually tie the rooms together. Built-in bookshelves and sash windows add to the welcoming character, while a dedicated, climate-controlled wine cellar brings a practical luxury to hosting.

Upstairs, four very spacious bedrooms and three sophisticated tiled bathrooms continue the home’s theme of understated luxury. Skylights illuminate the landing, while wrought iron detailing on the staircase and balcony nod to the property’s aesthetic. From the broad balcony - accessed by three bedrooms - northerly views stretch toward Coronet Peak, where winter nights are marked by the soft glow of the ski field lights.

Practical comforts are woven seamlessly through the home; underfloor heating in tiled areas, heat pump and night store heaters ensure all-season warmth. Storage is abundant, the internal double garage is generous and a separate laundry opens straight to the outdoors. Newly installed plush carpet and a comprehensive water filtration system round out a residence where every detail has been considered with care.

The outdoor living is equally compelling. A 15m heated pool shimmers beside lounging terraces and velvety lawns. The grounds remain easy-care despite their unapologetic polish - rabbit-fenced, beautifully landscaped and supported by a workshop/lock-up double garage area, vegetable beds and a glasshouse.

A graceful, enduring home in one of Queenstown’s most coveted locations - crafted for those who value space, privacy and eternal style.
