The use of wood, schist, and Serpentino roof tiles throughout evokes the charm of a Swiss alpine lodge, creating a seamless connection to its stunning surroundings.
With six bedrooms and nine bathrooms spread across the property, this home stands as a true testament to quality and scale, offering a lifestyle of extraordinary comfort.
Designed by Keiron O Connell of KO Architecture, who specialise in sustainable building practices, the property won the Highly Commended Award for a New Home over 300sq m in the 2024 Regional ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards.
Colliers Wānaka Director Craig Myles is marketing the property for sale via negotiation.
The main house offers four bedrooms with en suites that are each equipped with their own TV connections. This is complemented by a separate two-bedroom apartment and there are kitchens in both residences.
The property has been designed for comfort and entertainment. It features two expansive open plan living areas, two indoor fireplaces, a media/family room, a bar area, two laundry rooms, a fire pit, and an outdoor BBQ area. There is also a self-contained wellness hub with a sauna, steam room, and a six-person indoor jacuzzi.
Residents will be able to enjoy exclusive access to premium shared amenities, including a swimming pool, tennis court, gym, and chipping and putting greens at the Far Horizon Park.
Myles says this lavishly appointed home will appeal to those looking to acquire a premium property that offers a grandiose experience.
"This is one of the most impressive homes that will be presented to the open market this year and the property serves as a triumph of design that will catch the eye of discerning buyers," Myles says.
"The blend of European alpine living mixed in with the beautiful surrounds of Central Otago makes this an offering that will allow residents to enjoy luxurious amenities in a spacious home."
The accommodation consent presents a significant income opportunity with the property and allows for two groups per night and up to a maximum of 10 people. Minimum three-night stays are required.
"The purchaser will have the opportunity to maximise the value of the home when they are not enjoying it for themselves and given the appeal of Wānaka and the surrounding region it is easy to see why a property such as this would be a coveted location for prospective visitors," Myles says.
