Set against an extraordinary backdrop of uninterrupted Remarkables views, 16 Runholder Rise presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a substantial lifestyle property with considered architectural design, multiple income streams and remarkable flexibility, all set across an expansive 5,812sqm north-facing site.
Designed by architect Danny Kissell and built by the Abode Architectural Build Team, this 504sqm residence has been carefully considered to make the most of its extraordinary setting. From the moment you arrive, the scale and quality of the home are immediately apparent, with a substantial entrance framed by feature sleepers and oversized 2.4m double doors.
Inside, expansive glazing and over-height 2.4m window and door joinery draw the surrounding landscape into the home, with views of the Remarkables from every room. Raking feature ceilings add to the sense of volume, while antique handcrafted European oak flooring, hardwood feature detailing and carefully selected finishes create a warm, sophisticated feel throughout.
At the heart of the home, the custom kitchen is equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, featuring stone benchtops, a custom Belling 110cm induction cooktop oven, Corten steel detailing and a generous walk-in pantry with additional refrigeration. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces extend naturally outdoors, with approximately 125sqm of Kwila decking spanning the eastern and western sides of the main gable, creating multiple places to gather, unwind and take in the ever-changing alpine landscape.
Accommodation within the main residence is exceptionally versatile. Five bedrooms plus an office include two master suites, each with its own ensuite and private outdoor access. The main home comprised three-and-a-half bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling tiling, underfloor heating and a custom Italian stone bath featuring in the main master ensuite. Custom-built wardrobes in all bedrooms, premium wool carpet, a zoned ducted heat pump system and an inbuilt wood burner add comfort and practicality throughout.
Beyond the main residence, the property takes on another dimension, offering genuine income-producing potential alongside a range of future living options.
The architecturally designed, consented two-bedroom apartment is fully self-contained and currently occupied by tenants on a fixed-term tenancy through to April 2027, returning $3,140 per month. An additional fully insulated living space, created from a former garage and complete with a loft bedroom and separate power meter, provides further accommodation flexibility, with provisions already in place to create a self-contained one-bedroom dwelling with loft bedroom if desired.
A separate 30sqm consented cabin provides a further established income stream. Operating as a successful Airbnb Superhost, it is fully self-contained with its own kitchenette with gas cooking, laundry, bathroom, dining and sleeping facilities, heat pump and private off-street parking. With outstanding guest reviews and strong occupancy, the cabin is currently generating approximately $4,800-$5,000 per month and is already heavily booked through 2026.
The property's outdoor offering is equally impressive. Four-car garaging and eight off-street parks provide exceptional capacity for vehicles, recreational equipment and guests, while the expansive grounds offer a level of space and freedom rarely found within Queenstown's residential market. A purpose-built pump track adds another layer of lifestyle appeal, particularly for families, while a $25,000 irrigation system, controlled conveniently from your phone via an app, ensures the expansive grounds are easily maintained.
Looking ahead, provisions are already in place for a heated in-ground swimming pool, solar installation and surround sound system, with connections ready to go and providing scope to further enhance the property over time.
Perhaps most compelling is the ability for the property to evolve with its owners. The existing configuration provides a number of options for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, additional rental income or future downsizing, including the potential to adapt the master suite, office and additional living areas into further self-contained accommodation.
This is a property that offers far more than a remarkable home. It is an opportunity to combine substantial family living, established income, extensive land and long-term flexibility in one of Queenstown's most sought-after lifestyle settings.
Whether you're looking for a statement family residence, a multi-generational haven, a lifestyle property with diversified income or a home that can adapt through different stages of life, 16 Runholder Rise offers a rare combination of scale, quality and opportunity.
Remarkable views. Architectural design. Established income. Exceptional flexibility. A property designed not only for how you live today, but for what comes next.
