Elevated above Lake Hayes with sweeping alpine views, this architect-designed residence delivers a compelling combination of position, design, and lifestyle in one of the region's most tightly held enclaves. Occupying a superior elevated site, the home enjoys exceptional privacy, all-day sun, and a commanding outlook that enhances its sense of exclusivity and connection to the surrounding landscape.
Designed by highly respected architect Maarten Hofmans, the residence reflects a thoughtful architectural response to its environment. Clean lines, natural materials, and carefully considered proportions combine to create a home that is both timeless and contemporary, with an emphasis on effortless living. Expansive glazing ensures the lake and mountain panorama remains ever-present, creating a stunning backdrop to everyday life.
The highly functional and versatile layout comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a beautifully appointed one-bedroom suite with its own separate access. Privately positioned, this inviting space is ideal for accommodating guests, extended family, or providing independence for those seeking a little separation from the main residence while remaining connected to the home.
At the heart of the main residence is generous open-plan living, complemented by a separate media room, perfect for relaxed family living, entertaining, or a refined home office. The thoughtful design prioritises both comfort and flexibility, making it equally suited as a permanent residence or a lock-and-leave retreat.
Of particular note, the property is eligible for purchase by overseas buyers under the Overseas Investment Act, presenting a rare opportunity for international purchasers seeking a foothold in the Queenstown market.
Despite its tranquil feel, Lake Hayes is perfectly positioned for lifestyle convenience. You're just minutes from Arrowtown, Ayrburn and Millbrook Resort. Close to world-class wineries and restaurants, ski fields and cycle trails and within easy reach of both Queenstown and its International Airport. This property delivers a lifestyle that is both aspirational and practical. It will appeal to discerning buyers seeking quality, flexibility, and long-term value in a premium location.
