Elevated above Lake Hayes with sweeping alpine views, this architecturally 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 enhanced privacy and a commanding outlook - a position that maximises sun and natural light while reinforcing its sense of exclusivity.
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 and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Expansive glazing ensures the lake and mountain panorama remains ever-present. The home offers a highly functional and versatile layout, comprising four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, including a beautifully appointed one-bedroom suite with separate access. Privately positioned, it provides excellent flexibility for extended family, guest accommodation, or as the current owners use "Lake Hayes Suite" for an additional income stream - an increasingly valuable feature in this tightly held location.
The main residence is centred around open-plan living, complemented by a separate media room - a highly desirable space for relaxed living or alternatively a refined home office. The overall design prioritises both comfort and versatility, making it equally suited as a permanent residence, lock-and-leave holiday home, or investment property. Of particular note, the property is eligible for purchase by overseas buyers under the Overseas Investment Act, presenting a compelling 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.
