This architectural home in Lake Hayes is the epitome of modernity.

Designing a home that’s as contemporary as it is timeless is no easy feat, however this award-winning home manages to bring the best of both worlds.

Nestled in a prime position between beautiful Arrowtown and the pristine Lake Hayes, this four bedroom house was a winner in the New Zealand Institute of Architecture Awards for its captivating exterior and functional, multi-use design.

Indoor-outdoor flow is central to the home, with generous north-facing decks which lead to more than 9,000 square metres of easy-care grounds. Meanwhile, the interior is luxurious and unexpected, from the sunken living area – which frames incredible alpine views – to the elegant chef’s kitchen and the spacious, natural-light-fi lled bedrooms.

This is a property that provides peace, privacy and easy access to some of the world’s most scenic trails, all being just a 20-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown.
