luxury architect houses for sale Queenstown, New Zealand

Offered to the market for the very first time, this award winning 385 sq m architectural residence on Queenstown Hill appropriately named Te Komata, is a true masterpiece of design, craftsmanship and engineering. Finished in schist stone and cedar, this home includes a sweeping roofline inspired by the drooping of a tent fly - a vision developed by the current owners and executed to absolute perfection. Floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout frames uninterrupted 200-degree panoramas across the glistening waters of Lake Whakatipu, to the snow-capped Remarkables and beyond to Cecil and Walter Peak. The result is a living experience where the landscape becomes an ever-changing piece of art. Upon entry, you are greeted by a light-filled environment, natural timbers, and a circular sunken lounge - affectionately known as “the swimming pool”, creating a unique conversational space within the centre of the home. The contemporary entertainer’s kitchen, equipped with Gaggenau and Miele appliances and a walk-in scullery, anchors the open plan living and dining area. A dedicated media room offers further space for relaxation and quiet enjoyment. Built in timber cabinetry has been carefully designed throughout. Accommodation comprises three generous double bedrooms, each with their own ensuites, including a luxurious master suite with commanding views and a walk-in wardrobe. A separate office provides the flexibility to create a fourth bedroom if required. The upper-level hosts two guest bedrooms and a study, offering elevated views and potential to work-from-home. Thoughtful functionality is evident throughout, with abundant storage and a well-designed laundry featuring extensive built-in cabinetry. The indoor-outdoor flow is exceptional, with extensive decking that invites both relaxation and entertaining, from a quiet morning coffee, to afternoon barbecues or evening drinks under the ever-changing alpine skies. Underfloor heating and heat pumps ensure warmth and comfortable living all year-round. The internally accessed, carpeted double garage includes a workstation and further storage, ideal for skis, golf clubs, and the essentials of the Queenstown lifestyle. This easy-care mountain side residence is a very rare offering a visionary home in a sought-after position, that will not disappoint. Viewing is available by appointment for qualified buyers.
