As if carved into its rocky surrounds, the 431 square metre home — on a 3615sq m section — is constructed of Timaru bluestone, glass and timber.
It’s softened by landscaped areas including a Japanese-inspired sheltered courtyard, native planting, specimen trees, lawns and a Mark Hill sculpture at the entrance beneath a circular light well.
Aside from a master suite with vast views and dual guest suites, and a sleek kitchen with dual island benches, the home features a dedicated mudroom, wine cellar, laundry and a garage with extensive storage.
Light streams in through vast panes of glass and skylights.
A library overlooks the Wye Creek waterfall cascading behind the home.
And a hidden staircase leads to a roof terrace for private, northwest-facing views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Also on the property is a two-level cedar-clad boatshed for either boat storage, a gym or a studio.
The home was built in 2018 by Queenstown’s Just Build It NZ to a design by renowned Auckland-based architect David Ponting.
"This is one of those rare homes that genuinely takes your breath away," says director of Arrowtown-based Luxury Real Estate New Zealand, Terry Spice.
"Every aspect has been considered and executed to the highest level.
"It’s rare to see architecture and environment come together with this degree of authenticity."
Co-director Nick Horton adds: "It’s a privilege to represent a property like this.
"It’s something you can’t replicate — and that’s what makes it so extraordinary."
The sales method’s price by negotiation.
