Drawing inspiration from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, this residence celebrates the essence of modernist architecture - open space, purity of form, and an enduring dialogue between structure and landscape. A creation by David Ponting and Matthew Fitzgerald, the home is a triumph of precision and material mastery, its refinement placing it in a league of its own. The use of Himalayan schist is both deliberate and poetic, its texture and tone uniting the architecture from the gateway through to the heart of the home. A glass-walled gallery encases a striking central pool, framed by schist walls that anchor the residence to its natural setting, while overhead, a floating sail roof amplifies its sculptural elegance. A palette of Brazilian stone, wood-grained concrete, and American white ash, evokes understated luxury, illuminated by shifting light from broad glazing and skylights that animate the interiors throughout the day. Spanning 809 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents), the home offers four en-suited bedrooms including a master suite of rare calibre, complete with dual vanities and his-and-hers amenities. Living zones transition seamlessly outdoors to 283 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents) of terraces designed for private entertaining, while intelligent CBUS automation, underfloor heating across 11 zones, and a media room with concealed projector deliver technological sophistication and comfort. Set across four hectares of manicured land, this residence is a landmark in contemporary architecture. An extraordinary expression of craftsmanship and vision for those who appreciate the finest in design and scale.

Exclusive Living-Exceptional Surroundings So many superlatives come to mind when contemplating this property. Set amongst the enclave of Far Horizon, this property is set on an elevated position within the park-like setting. Located a short distance from Lake Wanaka and the town center, the property offers a unique blend of spacious elevated living in central Wanaka. Designed by Sebastiano Broadhead, this property has a sense of solidness and substance yet is discreetly positioned from the street. The real impact is as you enter the house into the main open-plan kitchen/living and dining space with its sleek contemporary gourmet kitchen blending into the country sheik ambience of the expansive space enveloping the panoramic views of mountains, Lake Wanaka, and the Wanaka Township. The property offers spacious living with a second lounge/snug off the main open-plan living area.

One side of the house watches the world go by. Boats leave their berths. Paddleboarders cross the water. Light moves across the marina and the outlook changes with the weather. Turn in the other direction and you are in an entirely private world of limestone, water and tropical planting - a heated magnesium pool, spa and cabana hidden from the street and sheltered from view. That contrast is at the heart of The Quay. Completed in 2025, the 607m² residence was designed by Architecture HDT and constructed by Gemco as a contemporary coastal courtyard house. Its scale is substantial, but scale alone doesn't explain it. The architecture moves between outlook and retreat, entertaining and privacy, activity and escape. Precast concrete and structural steel give the house its permanence. Aluminium, New Zealand limestone and glass shape the exterior, while inside, copper, natural stone, American black walnut, timber ceilings and extensive glazing soften the architecture and add warmth. The principal living level sits above the marina. Kitchen, dining and living spaces take in life on the water while decks on both sides of the house allow you to follow the sun - marina on one side, pool courtyard on the other. The kitchen island will probably be where people end up, regardless of where you intended them to sit. It anchors a kitchen designed as much for people as cooking, supported by a scullery and temperature-controlled wine cellar. Nearby, a dedicated wellness retreat means steam, cold water and recovery rituals need not involve leaving home. The main bedroom and guest suite are also positioned on this upper level. Downstairs, the house changes character again. A second full kitchen, living room and laundry allow this level to function with genuine independence for adult children, extended family, guests or live-in support. Two further bedroom suites sit alongside the gallery, entry and three-car garaging. Then there is the courtyard. French limestone paving surrounds the magnesium pool and inground spa. Tropical planting creates enclosure, an outdoor copper shower adds another layer, and the cabana - complete with copper bar and featuring a marble bar top - makes the pool area somewhere to spend from the afternoon through to late evening rather than simply somewhere to swim. An eight-person lift connects the levels, while smart technology, solar and battery storage, underfloor heating, ducted heating and cooling and acoustic glazing quietly take care of much of the practical work behind the scenes. The Quay gives you two very different ways of living in one remarkable place. Outward to the water. Inward to complete privacy.
