QUIET LUXURY
291 Tucker Beach Road, Lower Shotover
A private, established, park-like estate, directly opposite the Tucker Beach Wildlife Reserve and Queenstown Trails Network.
Blending ultra-contemporary, quiet luxury interiors, striking exterior structure and finishes, environmentally sympathetic landscaping, and resort-like recreational facilities.
Originally a modest earth brick home, it has been transformed into a living work of art over the past several years; ready to serve as another’s epic full or part-time residence.
Featuring state-of-the-art technology, highly specified utility infrastructure and climate control, top-tier appliances, and high-performance building components including triple-glazed joinery.
From the expansive master suite, a green roof is planted with native flora matched to the alpine vegetation found on the magnificent Coronet Peak, seen beyond.
Expansive outdoor entertaining and living spaces include an in-ground swim spa, fireplace, native gardens, and manicured lawns.
Production garden with high-tech glass house, at times used by award-winning local restaurants for sustainable paddock-to-plate cuisine, also caters to private culinary experiences prepared in the home’s hidden semi-commercial kitchen.
Atmospheric, almost ethereal spaces throughout are adorned with sophisticated finishes and furnishing.
An absolute haven for those who have become accustomed to the best and value understated finesse.
This home must be experienced in person to be truly appreciated - we encourage you to contact us and arrange viewing.

Queenstown’s Hidden Wonder - The Tucker Beach Wildlife Management Reserve
(directly opposite 291 Tucker Beach Road)
The Tucker Beach Wildlife Trust is a Queenstown community charity formed to restore and safeguard the Tucker Beach Wildlife Management Reserve on the Lower Shotover (Kimiākau) River. Directly opposite 291 Tucker Beach Road, the reserve is a braided river ecosystem of national significance, providing nesting and feeding habitat for threatened and at risk species such as banded dotterels, black-fronted terns (tarapirohe) and black-billed gulls. For years it was degraded by woody weeds, rubbish dumping and predators. The Trust coordinates ecological restoration through weed clearance, native planting, pest and predator control, and safer public access via new walking and cycling trails, with volunteers and agencies, including DOC.
Tucker Beach & Wider Queenstown Trail Network
(accessible directly opposite 291 Tucker Beach Road)
The Tucker Beach Trail is an easy (Grade 2) 4.4 km ride from the Old Lower Shotover Bridge to Tucker Beach, following high river terraces beside the magnificent Shotover River and passing through the Tucker Beach Wildlife Management Reserve. At Tucker Beach it links into the Shotover Gorge Trail, a new 6 km route that runs the Lower Shotover Gorge, through the lit Hugo Tunnel and over the 90 m Kimi-ākau Bridge (opened April 2025). Via either end of this trail, riders can connect to the wider Queenstown Trails Network for scenic Whakatipu Basin loops, extending all the way to Arrowtown, Ayrburn, Lake Hayes, Gibbston Valley, Frankton, Queenstown, Jack’s Point and beyond.

IDEAS & INSPO
Tailoring this Property
Very few properties will perfectly match every individual requirement, so we’ve compiled some ideas and inspiration to help you explore how this home could be adapted to better suit your needs.
Important Notes:
The potential improvements outlined below are based on our own high-level assessments of feasibility and indicative costs. They are intended as starting points for consideration only.
If any of these concepts spark your interest, we’d be happy to connect you with experienced planners and architects who can provide more detailed advice.
We welcome your feedback, questions, or thoughts - and would be glad to discuss these ideas further at any stage.
-
Purpose: Additional Garaging
New Floor Area: 40 - 80 sqm
Completion Timeframe: 9-11 months (approx.)
Investment: $ 280,000 - 520,000 (estimate)
This concept proposes one or more additional standalone garages, positioned in the southeast corner of the site and designed to complement the architectural style of the existing home.
While the current garaging is already generous, this addition would appeal specifically to those seeking further high-quality vehicle storage - whether for a car collection, recreational vehicles, or other specialist requirements.
-
Purpose: Self-contained accommodation & recreational space
New Floor Area: 60 - 90 sqm
Completion Timeframe: 10-14 months (approx.)
Investment: $ 480,000 - 720,000 (estimate)
Description:
This concept introduces two potential additional building locations, offering flexibility to expand both accommodation and lifestyle/recreational areas associated with the property. The specific placements and floor plans illustrated are indicative only and intended to inspire ideas. These can be tailored to suit personal preferences or site conditions. While resource consent would likely be required for either structure, we wouldn’t anticipate any significant hurdles in securing approval.
From a market perspective, this represents a broadly appealing enhancement. We would expect any investment made in the addition of one of these buildings to be matched - if not exceeded - by the corresponding uplift in the property’s value.
