Overview
Architecture and nature coalesce in this three-bedroom, two-bathroom luxury eco home.
Designed by award winning, Makers of Architecture, drawing on Scandinavian influence, this 138m² residence is the epitome of sustainable living.
The structure and internal walls are CLT panels made from NZ Pine, designed for thermal mass, with high performance wool insulation and thermally broken joinery. This provides a warm and natural feel to the home.
On entering the heart of the home, you’ll find a sunken lounge, with a freestanding gas fire, where bi-fold doors open directly into the garden. The kitchen, filled with light and warmth, extends seamlessly to the deck, creating an airy, open space catering to alfresco family gatherings or quiet indoor nights. The design extends to the pantry, laundry, ample and discrete storage areas, and a ground-floor bathroom.
On the upper level, NZ wool carpets cushion your every step. Each of the three bedrooms is a haven, with windows thoughtfully framing nature’s artwork, from the majesty of Cecil Peak and Ben Lomond to Coronet. The master bedroom, a serene escape, offers the best vistas. The upstairs bathroom, features a freestanding tub, inviting you to unwind in luxury.
The house exterior is complemented by a vine-covered pergola, adding fresh grapes and summer shade.
The garden offers vegies, walnuts, apples, berries and figs. As well as this, you’ll discover a children's cubby house, a fire pit, and a sleepout that presents endless possibilities – a serene office space, an additional bedroom, or a creative studio. A path leads to the top of the garden where a seat allows you to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset.
Nestled beside a river terrace, with double-filtered water, solar energy integration, and all-natural heating and cooling, this property paves the way for Queenstown’s important sustainable future whilst providing all the luxury of family living at its finest.
