Outside, the home makes an equally strong impression. Hand-charred and oiled Siberian larch cladding gives 10 Solar Way a bold, distinctive character that is rare and genuinely striking. The grounds have been landscaped with future privacy in mind, maturing year by year into an even more sheltered haven. A single garage offers secure storage for all the gear that comes with an active coastal lifestyle, along with a large double concrete laundry tub that's as practical as it is welcome after a day on the beach.

Indoor and outdoor living blend naturally here, perfectly catering to both entertaining and relaxed family life. A striking double-sided gas fireplace anchors the living spaces with warmth and atmosphere. A separate second lounge provides flexibility as a media room, sitting room, or a private escape to curl up with a book. Consideration for the layout of the home is thoughtfully zoned. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary with direct deck access and a beautifully appointed en-suite with a spa bath. In the guest wing, two additional bedrooms open to their own deck area and share a family bathroom with a bath, while a fourth bedroom upstairs, complete with an en-suite, is ideal for guests or extended family, offering a great space for the kids to retreat to. Outside, the experience is equally impressive. Expansive decking, a pergola, a spa pool, and a stoke fire establish multiple entertaining zones against the alpine backdrop. Established gardens and generous lawn areas enhance the sense of privacy and seclusion. As part of the tightly held Oraka community, owners enjoy exclusive access to a private boat ramp, jetty, lakefront BBQ area, and tennis court, all within a secure gated setting. Launch at sunrise, swim from the jetty in summer, or gather with neighbours at the lakeside as the sun sets. Opportunities combining this level of scale, security, and direct lake access are increasingly rare. Internal-access double garaging, ample off-street parking, and a substantial boat garage with carport complete the package. Positioned just minutes from the world-renowned Jack’s Point Golf Course, the Remarkables ski field access road, Queenstown Airport, and Frankton, this is a home that truly leaves nothing to be desired.
