luxury houses for sale Otago, New Zealand (page 3)

Lakefront and Mountain Views Beacon Point, on the Lake Wanaka shorefront, is renowned for its breathtaking location. Historically a site of holiday homes and cribs, this Wanaka destination has the double attraction of only a handful of truly lakeside homes and established sections with mature plantings. A rare two-storey property, this is a residence that has been designed both to capitalize on its exceptional location on the lake's edge and its mountain panoramas while providing shelter and privacy. Windows are carefully positioned throughout to both frame the jaw-dropping outlook and capture the all-day sun. Architect Kieran O'Connell is known for his sustainability expertise, and this is a home that places energy efficiency and durability at its core. Solar panels make the most of the north-facing aspect to power both home and vehicles, with an EV charger in the two-bay garage. External hempcrete walls provide eco-friendly and highly effective insulation, while interior frames are made of sturdy larch and the ceilings of totara, a native New Zealand hardwood. The covered upstairs deck opens up from the open-plan kitchen and living space, allowing you to enjoy the views regardless of weather, while a garden terrace provides ample shade and seclusion on those long summer evenings among the productive fruit and nut orchard. Wanaka's school zone, services, and key amenities are only a short drive away, and the Eely Point boat launch is just around the corner. You simply could not live closer to the lake if you tried, and it's fair to say that Beacon Point rarely releases homes like this, and when they do, you don't want to wait. Viewings by appointment. Price is negotiable.

Luxury Master-Built Cedar Estate in Central Otago The dream location calls for a dream house, and if that means constructing it in Canada with the finest timber, dismantling it, shipping it, and then establishing it on the terraces of the Clutha River, so be it. On a completely private 20-acre estate stands a home like no other. Handcrafted from Canadian Western Red Cedar by world-leading log home builders, this magnificent property stands as a testament to its extraordinary setting, a home where quality is non-negotiable with imported premium fixtures, including tapware from Mayfair, tiles from Italy, and high-end finishes throughout. Venture inside and you discover a haven that has been carefully crafted to meet your changing needs and wants. The main dwelling has been designed to offer itself as a home with five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms yet has the option to secure a guest wing as a completely separate two-bedroom space, complete with its own bathroom and kitchen, providing an entirely self-sufficient area for family or guests. Year-round, the magnificent Grand Room forms the centerpiece of the home with a roaring log fire to complement the underfloor heating that runs throughout the house. Opening up into the adjoining dining room and the kitchen with multiple ovens and high-end appliances, there's no better spot for multi-generation gatherings and large party entertaining. If you need to escape for a moment to yourself, or if the kids need space of their own, a second living room and a games room will keep everyone happy. On warmer days and nights, enjoy the 360-degree views from one of the two outdoor entertaining areas, deliberately positioned to guarantee shelter, whatever the weather. From the hot tub you can soak up the endless skies and ease your legs after a day in the great outdoors. And what an outdoors it is! Whatever your tastes, you can be sure they will be accommodated. The 5-bay garage, each of them up to 10 m wide, has intentionally planned rear barn doors for high clearance, so there's virtually no boat or toy that can't be securely stored onsite for ready access. The property offers boundary access to the Clutha River, one of New Zealand's best when it comes to brown and rainbow trout fishing. The property is an easy drive to Lakes Wanaka, Hawea, and Dunstan and is only 40 minutes to the base of Treble Cone and 30 minutes to the base of the Cardrona ski field. If it's hiking you're into, Mt. Aspiring National Park and the Lindis Conservation Area can be seen from the terrace with the Grand View Range a short walk from your eastern boundary. If you prefer something a little more turbocharged, the world-renowned Highlands Motorsport Park is only half an hour up the road. 63 River Ridge Road is close enough to enjoy all of the action and facilities of Wanaka yet nicely positioned to get away from the hustle and bustle if desired. Whether you chopper in, jetboat out, or make the most of Queenstown Airport just over an hour away, this is the ideal property for the New Zealander who values privacy and space with easy proximity to all the services, restaurants, and activities that nearby Wanaka provides. Closer to home, Tarras Village boasts a café, delicatessen, and even a Cellar Door that celebrates the world-class wines that grow on your doorstep. With the local primary school only ten minutes away, Mt Aspiring College a twenty-five-minute drive, and close proximity to boarding school shuttles, this is a home that meets the needs of everyone in the family. It's a home that will last several generations with the space and opportunity to grow as you do. Price is negotiable. For a private tour of this exceptional property, contact us today.
