SAFE & SOUND

29 Settlers Way, Millbrook, Arrowtown

Designed by Haden Emslie Architecture and built by Bamford McLeod for Millbrook itself, 29 Settlers Way brings contemporary performance to one of the resort’s most established lanes. Quarry stone, pre-cast and aerated concrete. and corrugated steel settle this beautiful home naturally among the low stone walls and mature planting of the original village. Inside, an exposed concrete stair, timber detailing and a textured material palette give the rooms weight and warmth without competing with the outlook.

The plan is generous and highly resolved. Across 281 m2², three bedrooms each have an ensuite, while the main living level gathers the kitchen, dining, sunroom, and a substantial lounge/media room around a sheltered north-facing court. Under its adjustable louvred roof, with a built-in barbecue, radiant heating and an outdoor gas fire, this space becomes a second living room through much of the year. Full-height sliders and bifold openings make the transition effortless, while the sun-room window seat frames the village rooflines and mountains beyond.

The kitchen, designed by Ingrid Geldof Design, is composed for daily use and easy entertaining. A waterfall stone island anchors the room, supported by a walk-in pantry, integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances, double DishDrawer and dual-zone wine cabinet. Lacquered cabinetry, Blum hardware and brushed steel fittings keep the detailing crisp, while the adjoining outdoor kitchen allows lunch to stretch comfortably into the afternoon.

Comfort is specified to the gold standard. Hydronic in-slab heating, radiators, two ducted heating/cooling systems and under-tile bathroom heating work quietly behind the scenes. Motorised blinds, structured data cabling, monitored security and EV charging complete a home built for straightforward lock-and-leave living. A detached cart shed keeps the golf cart ready and the garage clear.

Millbrook extends the proposition well beyond the house. Two championship golf courses, the award-winning spa, health and fitness centre, pools, tennis and five restaurants and bars sit within a beautifully managed and immacutately maintained 260-hectare estate. The Queenstown Trail passes through the resort, Coronet Peak is close at hand, Arrowtown is four minutes away and an easy 15-20 minutes will take you to through to Queenstown Airport. Membership brings a genuine year-round active community and the ease of moving through the village on foot or by cart. For owners seeking flexibility, the Millbrook rental scheme also permits up to 179 nights of visitor accommodation each year.

This is a rare opportunity to buy a freehold 2024 home in the settled heart of Millbrook, with the architecture, amenity and management already in place. The north light, sheltered court and particular calm of Settlers Way are best understood in person. Contact us to arrange a private viewing.

life at Millbrook

You live on a private 650‑acre estate in the Wakatipu Basin, surrounded by fairways, streams and tree‑lined lanes, with panoramic views to Coronet Peak, the Crown Range and The Remarkables.

Every morning you hop in your golf cart or on your bike and are working out in the gym or counting lengths in the heated lap pool within a few minutes of leaving home.

Your neighbours are business leaders, entrepreneurs and seasoned pontificators, so every casual chat at the Clubhouse gives you fresh ideas, insight and valuable connections.

You watch premier events like the New Zealand Open and the Queenstown Marathon unfold around you, so world‑class sport becomes part of your everyday backdrop rather than a once‑off spectacle.

You step out the door to a 36‑hole championship course with practice facilities and coaching on site, so you can chase a serious handicap or slip out for a relaxing twilight nine whenever you like.

You treat yourself at Millbrook’s award‑winning spa whenever you choose, so therapeutic massages, facials and beauty treatments become part of how you live rather than an occasional indulgence.

The resort has its own Members‑only Country Club with a packed calendar of golf days, social events and member activities. Forming genuine friendships and connections comes easily here.

You step onto kilometres of walking and biking trails that wind through Millbrook and link into the Wakatipu Trails, giving you endless runs, rides and family walks straight from your front door.

You choose between golf, tennis, petanque or volleyball when visitors arrive, so you always have an easy, active way to entertain friends and family without leaving the resort.

You watch your children or visiting grandkids ride safely along quiet roads and wide paths to friends’ houses, the playground or the Clubhouse, which gives you real peace of mind about their independence.

You hold freehold title to your property while the resort looks after roads, services and shared spaces, so you enjoy the benefits of a managed community and keep your day‑to‑day life remarkably simple.

You are only a short drive or relaxed bike ride from historic Arrowtown and the Ayrburn precinct to enjoy cafés, restaurants and walking tracks, then retreat home whenever you feel like quiet and space again.

You take advantage of free, on-demand resort shuttles to and from Arrowtown, and scheduled shuttles to and from Queenstown for shopping, dining or visiting friends and family.

You experience each season in full colour, from frosty blue‑sky mornings and golden autumn trees to spring blossom and long summer evenings, so you always feel connected to the rhythms around you.

You benefit from a strong sense of security, with controlled access, on‑site staff and neighbours who look out for each other, which makes it easy for you to lock up and travel for weeks at a time.

You open your calendar to regular owner and member events, from golf tournaments to long lunches and wine dinners, which means you step into a ready‑made social life from your very first week.

You drive a short distance to Coronet Peak, The Remarkables or Cardrona on winter mornings, then return to your own hot pool or fire, so ski days feel luxurious even when you are close to home.

You enjoy a full Health & Fitness Centre with a modern gym, 25‑metre heated lap pool, saunas and outdoor hot pools, making it incredibly easy for you to keep a consistent wellness routine year‑round.
