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.
