WILDWOOD

17 Littles Road, Dalefield

This unique architectural home was artfully designed by Marc Scaife, the visionary behind Matakauri Lodge and countless other masterpieces in the region. Perfectly positioned in a special part of Dalefield’s coveted landscape, this 5-bedroom home celebrates natural light, sweeping mountain views, and unparalleled functionality. Spanning 340sqm over three floors, its design unites everything expected from a modern family home with gorgeous alpine-lodge charm.

The sale of this property presents a rare opportunity for families to embrace a true country lifestyle while staying effortlessly connected to everything that makes Queenstown special. Set on five hectares of lush, gently rolling land, it's perfect for those seeking a deeper connection with nature. It's a place where kids will swap screen time for time outdoors - exploring open spaces, building bike tracks and tending to animals. Adults might find love in growing fresh produce, further enhancing the landscaping, working from a beautiful studio over its reflection pond, and simply enjoying the long summer days and fresh alpine air. With the Remarkables and Coronet Peak framing the horizon, there’s a constant reminder of the incredible natural playground that lies just beyond the gate.

For those who thrive on adventure, you can e-bike straight off the property onto Queenstown’s vast cycle trail network, or be parked and ready to ride at Coronet Peak in just 12 minutes. Only 10 minutes away are the charming streets of Arrowtown, the world-class fairways of Millbrook and The Hills, the premium hospitality offerings of Ayrburn and Mora, and Lake Hayes, with its glassy waters and scenic walking trails.

Queenstown’s Town Centre, Five Mile shopping precinct and International Airport are just minutes further. Even everyday conveniences are within easy reach at Arthur’s Point, with its cafés and restaurants, being only a short walk away meaning a great coffee or a relaxed dinner is always close at hand.

The heart of the home is its double-height open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, accentuated by exposed beams and expansive picture windows that frame Queenstown’s outstanding natural landscape. A gallery space links the living quarters to a generous deck, inviting year-round indoor-outdoor flow. The galley-style kitchen, complete with a pantry and abundant storage, is ideal for family living and sophisticated entertaining.

Each of the five bedrooms is thoughtfully arranged, with the upper-floor master suite featuring a private balcony, dressing area, and en-suite. A lower-level guest en-suite offers self-contained potential, while two additional double bedrooms share a spacious bath and shower room. A smaller bedroom, library, and mezanine study all add to the versatility.

Beyond the interiors, this country home’s grounds reveal expansive native plantings, sprawling lawns, and intimate outdoor spaces. A serene pond-side studio, pétanque area, vegetable gardens, and greenhouse enhance this private paradise. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the paddocks, arena, small stable, and substantial grazing.

SHADOWMAP

New Feature

We invite you to try out this recent addition to our marketing platform. Shadowmap is a tool for visualising and understanding how the sun tracks in relation to a property throughout the year.

Important Notes:

  • We’ve tested this against real-life, on-site conditions and it’s generally been very accurate. However, it doesn’t account for the extra sunlight that passes through deciduous trees during the winter months, which in many instances is a significant difference.

  • This tool is most user-friendly on desktop/laptop devices.

Masterful Architecture

Crafted by celebrated architect Marc Scaife, this home exemplifies thoughtful design and timeless appeal. Bold architectural elements, from striking beams to vast picture windows, balance functionality with the beauty of the natural landscape. The impressive 11x11m open-plan living room features soaring ceilings, sunlight-filled interiors, and a mezzanine study. Picture windows capture sweeping mountain ranges, creating a seamless connection to the stunning outdoors.

CAPTIVATING OUTDOOR SPACES

The north-facing deck, evening dining area with an outdoor fireplace, and mature gardens invite you to unwind in nature. Explore wooded paths, streams, and a serene pond that’s simply picture-perfect. An architectural pond-side studio provides the perfect setting for an office, yoga retreat, or potential Airbnb accommodation. Immerse yourself in creativity amidst peace and natural beauty. Designed for horse lovers, the property features fenced paddocks, a 40x30m sand arena, jumps, grazing areas, and a stable with piped water. Exceptional facilities combine with the valley’s equine-friendly community.

Aerial view of a scenic landscape with green hills, mountains, and a river, featuring labeled locations such as Queenstown Town Centre, Queenstown Airport, Onsen Hot Pools, Hangar Co-Working, Gantley's Tavern, Coronet Peak Ski Field, Arrowtown & Lake Hayes, and world-class golf courses, with estimated travel times indicated.

CONNECTIVITY & FUTURE VISION

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is just minutes from Queenstown, Arrowtown, ski fields, the Queenstown Trails network, and local amenities. Private yet accessible, it offers the ultimate convenience for modern living. With covenants to protect the landscape, this property has potential for further enhancements or future development. Explore endless opportunities to craft your ideal lifestyle. Streams, native plantings, and vast lawns provide an idyllic setting for outdoor living. Whether dining under the stars or exploring the grounds, this home is a true celebration of nature’s splendor.
