Walk through the front door and the home opens to the right, into a living room that rises through an atrium roofline before spilling out onto the deck. The gas fireplace anchors one end. Beyond the glass, the BBQ area and mountains sit in view. On a winter evening, with the fire going, the deck still feels part of the home.

The kitchen sits at the centre of it all. Integrated appliances, a concealed scullery, and enough bench space for the house to function properly when it is full. The covered alfresco dining area extends off the main living spaces, sheltered on the outer edge by a drop-down blind that cuts the wind without closing the space in. It stays usable well beyond the point where most outdoor areas are abandoned for the season.

The media room opens onto this same sheltered space from the other side, giving the house another quiet retreat when guests are staying or children are settled elsewhere.

A pocket door closes off the bedroom wing from the rest of the home. A design decision, not an afterthought.

The master suite is proportioned for the way people actually live. A walk-around dressing room leads through to the ensuite, with twin basins, an open shower, and room to move without thinking about it. Three further bedrooms each include wardrobes. A fully serviced second bathroom sits between them. The laundry is generous, with a separate guest toilet alongside it.

Underfloor heating and zoned central air conditioning run throughout. On a minus-eight morning in July, the floor is already warm underfoot. The house holds its temperature because it was built to.

Pure freehold title. No body corporate. No ongoing levies. The covenants protect the estate’s design integrity, and your investment within it. Beyond that, the decisions are yours.

Ten minutes from Arrowtown. Fifteen from Queenstown. Far enough from both to feel entirely removed.
