Contemporary house Wānaka (New Zealand)

Document download at https://filefling.co.nz/property/13theodoreco0 If you are looking to secure a sanctuary in Wanaka then we welcome you to view this striking new residence, positioned just two blocks from the lake's edge. Set within one of Wanaka’s most tightly held neighbourhoods, the location underpins the home’s appeal. Morning swims, lakefront walks and cycling trails are all within easy reach, while nearby schooling and town amenities ensure everyday convenience. It is a setting that balances lifestyle and long-term value with quiet confidence. Designed by Australian architect Nicholas Tang and crafted in 2025 by renowned local builder Dan Fountain, the residence presents as a bold, contemporary composition. A refined black façade and crisp linear geometry establish a strong architectural identity, while the material palette and detailing signal a home conceived with intent. Spanning approximately 355 sq m, the two-level floorplan is both expansive and highly resolved. Arrival is marked by a sculptural staircase in solid timber and glass, a central architectural gesture that sets the tone for the interiors beyond. At its core, open-plan living unfolds beneath dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing, orientated to capture light and frame elevated alpine vistas. The interplay of volume, light and outlook creates a living environment that feels both grounded and expansive. The dual-sided schist fireplace introduces warmth and spatial definition without interrupting flow. The kitchen is designed as both anchor and interface. A generous island and breakfast bar encourage connection, while seamless integration with outdoor living allows for effortless transition between interior and exterior zones. Accommodation comprises five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, configured with flexibility in mind. Two master suites, each with built-in wardrobes and private ensuites, provide options for hosting, multigenerational living or premium guest accommodation. A large separate family room provides additional space to spread out, whether for media, relaxation, or quiet retreat. The private sauna introduces a resort-like dimension, while an internal laundry with easy external access ensures day-to-day functionality is uncompromised. Set on a landscaped 612 sq m (more or less) site, the grounds are deliberately low maintenance, with slate detailing reinforcing the home’s architectural language. The result is a property that is as easy to live in as it is visually compelling. In a location defined by its proximity to the lake and connection to the Wānaka outdoor lifestyle, this is a residence that delivers architectural clarity, spatial generosity and enduring appeal. Our North Island sellers have other plans firmly in motion, creating a clear pathway for you to secure this architectural offering without the time, complexity and uncertainty of undertaking a new build. Opportunities of this calibre, so close to the water, are rarely released so contact us today to register your early interest. T. 0800 4 ALTYS

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Wānaka (New Zealand)

Sought-after Kirimoko neighbourhood gives you one of Wānaka’s sweet spots: sun, elevated alpine outlooks and easy access to the lake, trails, schools and town. Threefold Architecture has made the most of that setting, creating a home where light, landscape and clever design do much of the talking. From the dramatic double-height entrance, warm timber detailing and expansive glazing to the mountain views filling the upper level, this is contemporary alpine living with a little more personality. Upstairs is where everyday life naturally comes together. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space feels warm, light and connected, with the central island creating an easy gathering point whether it's coffee for two or a house full of friends. The hardwood deck effectively becomes another living room, complete with infrared heating to help stretch those long Wānaka evenings a little further. The layout gives everyone room to retreat too. Three double bedrooms are supported by three bathrooms, including two en-suites, while a separate downstairs media room provides a valuable second living space for movie nights, teenagers or visiting guests. Just as importantly, this is a home designed to make Wānaka life easier. A home where comfort and performance are given equal consideration. A heat pump services the upper level, while a second services the lower level via a ducted system, complemented by mechanical ventilation and continuous-flow gas hot water. High-performance construction includes thermally broken aluminium joinery with low-E double glazing throughout and Hush Glass to the master suite. The exterior combines profiled metal cladding, a Sto plaster system and cedar rainscreen cladding beneath a steel roof. A substantial 15kW solar system comprising 35 panels, paired with a Tesla Powerwall, further enhances the home's energy efficiency and resilience. Future use has also been considered, with pre-wiring for a drying room and sauna, services provided for a future outdoor kitchen on the balcony, and pre-wiring for landscape lighting. Outside, the landscaped 454 sq m (more or less) property keeps maintenance refreshingly manageable, leaving you more time to enjoy everything that makes Wānaka so special. Incorporating a turf-block driveway, service courtyard and low-maintenance planting, the grounds are both practical and easy care. Everyday amenities and outdoor pursuits are close at hand, with schools, walking and biking trails, Lake Wānaka and the town centre all within easy reach. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence or a premium Wānaka base, this polished architectural home offers a compelling combination of design, efficiency and location. This is the ultimate approach to contemporary alpine living. Don't delay calling us to arrange a viewing by appointment. *Boundary lines indicative only **Some images digitally enhanced Document download at https://filefling.co.nz/property/7tukelane0000
