luxury contemporary houses for sale Lake Hayes Estate, New Zealand
Contemporary house with pool and garden Lake Hayes Estate (New Zealand)
There is a particular rhythm to life on the north shore of Lake Hayes. A morning lap of the loop track, coffee in Arrowtown just six minutes away. An afternoon admiring - or even out on - the water; a drive or e-bike through Gibbston for a bottle of Pinot. All the while, the Remarkables, Crown Range, and Coronet Peak sit quietly around you, waiting for your adventurous side to come out and play. 42 Central Park Avenue sits within this setting, positioned on a 4,000sqm lifestyle lot in one of the basin’s most tightly held pockets. The four-bedroom home is a single-level pavilion designed by architect M J Wyatt, originally completed in 1998. Under the current owners, it has just undergone a comprehensive 2025-2026 refit, with close to a million dollars invested. Highlights include a bespoke Formatt kitchen in warm charcoal timber with Corian benchtops, entirely new bathrooms, Haro engineered oak flooring through the living wing, and 60oz Feltex wool carpet in the bedrooms. A multi-zone Daikin VRV ducted heat pump system has been added, while the original fireplace remains for atmosphere. Outside, the northern park-like garden has been opened up around a new 10m x 4m sprayed concrete pool, finished with glass and steel fencing, striking sandstone paving, and new planting that integrates with established trees and the existing fruit orchard. A height covenant on the southern boundary protects the outlook to the lake and the Remarkables beyond. Lake Hayes is increasingly recognised as an address that holds its value. Property changes hands slowly here; the lake and loop track are a central part of daily life, and this private cul-de-sac lane means traffic is non-existent. With Arrowtown just six minutes away, Queenstown Airport 10-15, and the CBD not much further, this is a setting that rarely comes to market, with a stylishly renovated home ready for part or full-time living.

Contemporary house with terrace Arrowtown (New Zealand)
Designed by Haden Emslie Architecture and built by Bamford McLeod for Millbrook itself, 29 Settlers Way brings contemporary performance to one of the resort’s most established lanes. Quarry stone, pre-cast and aerated concrete. and corrugated steel settle this beautiful home naturally among the low stone walls and mature planting of the original village. Inside, an exposed concrete stair, timber detailing and a textured material palette give the rooms weight and warmth without competing with the outlook. The plan is generous and highly resolved. Across 281 m2², three bedrooms each have an ensuite, while the main living level gathers the kitchen, dining, sunroom, and a substantial lounge/media room around a sheltered north-facing court. Under its adjustable louvred roof, with a built-in barbecue, radiant heating and an outdoor gas fire, this space becomes a second living room through much of the year. Full-height sliders and bifold openings make the transition effortless, while the sun-room window seat frames the village rooflines and mountains beyond.
