144A Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Road, Lake Hayes

Designed by Stephen Fitzgerald Architecture and built by renowned Rilean Construction, this residence is a study in permanence, texture, and light. Sited on a commanding 4,003 m² parcel on the prestigious Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Road, the home is a well-executed composition of local schist, cedar, and plaster - a structure that feels simultaneously anchored to the earth and elevated to capture the theatre of the Wakatipu Basin.

The floorplan calibrates volume and intimacy, unfolding over approximately 380 m² of beautifully detailed accommodation. The interiors are defined by a tactile warmth; internal stone feature walls juxtapose against extensive glazing, drawing the dramatic lake foreground and mountain skyline into the daily rhythm of the home. A central hydraulic lift ensures the residence remains a forever home, providing easy vertical connection between the garaging and ground floor guest suites, the primary living level, and the penthouse-style third floor.

Social spaces are purposeful and fluid. The open-plan kitchen, equipped with Miele appliances and anchored by a monolithic island, serves as the engine room for hospitality, segueing naturally into dining and living areas. For quieter moments, there’s a dedicated media snug, while the accommodation (comprising five bedrooms and four bathrooms spread across all three levels) provides distinct zoning for family and guests. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own, capitalising on the site’s epic aspect for optimal sun and views.

Beneath the aesthetic poise sits a powerhouse of utility and performance. The home is engineered for the alpine climate, featuring highly-specified insulation, under-tile heating, and heat pumps throughout for granular climate control. Integrated technology, including a Paradox alarm system and motorised Somfy blinds throughout, ensures the home runs intuitively and securely.

Outside, the architecture extends into the landscape. Manicured lawns and established Japanese maples frame the setting, while the "Vergola" roof system and open wood fireplace create an all-season outdoor room for alfresco dining. From the copper detailing on the fascias to the solidity of the stone retaining walls, this is a property built to endure. For those seeking a home that balances architectural rigour with the ease and attractions of lakeside living, 144A Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Road is worthy of your consideration.
