La Description

Soaring above Lake Hayes, the Wakatipu’s finest landscape reaches out from this remarkable residence and its elevated front row platform. Conceived to offer holiday and income options, the elegant schist and timber home is complemented by additional accommodation with an entirely separate self-contained one bedroom cottage. The unique property is located in an area with a proven history of strong demand and limited availability. Deceivingly simple in its aesthetic, clean lines and a heritage homestead feel suffuse both interior and exterior aspects of the home. Drawing clear inspiration from the alpine environment, it sits beautifully within the rich tapestry of surrounding nature. The architectural brief was one of utilising natural materials to create a sense of both quality and place, evident in the use of stone, band-sawn timber and robust beamed ceilings. Thick, well-insulated walls minimise maintenance and maximise year-round comfort. Centralised living spaces and a broad patio take full advantage of the unique sweeping outlooks to Lake Hayes, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main building are added to by a ensuite guest wing adjoining the garage, plus a small bunk room upstairs. A cedar-clad outdoor hot tub offers the ultimate place to relax and indulge in a glass of local wine at the end of an epic day in the mountains. Quality construction creates a strikingly peaceful ambience befitting the elevated, sun-bathed position. Known as the ‘Red Shed’, the separate cottage can be used as a permanent owners’ residence if the home is rented, or vice versa. Displaying phenomenal views, it follows the same rustic brief and has ample storage along with generous kitchen and living spaces and a bathroom equipped with a compact laundry facility. Within a few minutes’ drive, residents and guests can be on the area’s award-winning golf courses, wine tasting at renowned vineyards or dining in style at Ayrburn, Mora or Amisfield. Arrowtown’s boutique shops and Frankton’s supermarkets and retailers are within easy reach, as is global connectivity from the International Airport. Easily maintained as a holiday getaway and a proven performer in the short-term rental field, it’s equally suitable as a full-time residence.
