SPECIAL RESERVE

33 Central Park Avenue, Lake Hayes

33 Central Park Avenue is a freshly completed luxury lifestyle residence occupying a 5,003m² freehold estate tucked into the quiet north-eastern corner of Lake Hayes, where this ultra-private enclave of alpine estates meets the QLDC esplanade reserve along Mill Creek. The home was designed by Hilton Miller Architects, with joinery, kitchen and lighting by Lume Design of Christchurch. Delivered with precision by specialist local construction firm DCD, it confidently asserts its position in this landscape as one half of a coordinated pair of pitched-roof pavilions, sharing a private, concrete-sealed, tree-lined driveway with its sister address at 41 Central Park Avenue.

The plan is generous and balanced. The near-400sqm single-level pavilion includes a full-height, multi-use loft level above the extra-large double garage. Spaces include five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a separate powder room, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living wing that opens to north-facing outdoor living spaces, a dedicated home cinema, an office, and a proper scullery for daily life and large gatherings. This is a home sized for permanent family living, although it could equally serve as a second home.

The materials palette is quietly sophisticated, with 200mm natural schist stone doing the heavy lifting, complemented by vertical shiplap cedar and standing-seam Colorsteel cladding and roofing. Inside, the unbelievably bold, bespoke kitchen bench is Arabescato Orobico Grey Italian marble, with Miele appliances throughout, including a pair of induction cooktops, two ovens, a combi steam oven and an integrated dishwasher. Fisher & Paykel refrigeration, including a dual-zone wine fridge, and Progetto tapware complete the kitchen specification.

Out of sight sits a sophisticated modern services package, specified for comfort and quality of life. Underfloor hydronic heating, controlled by a Heatmiser thermostat and powered by a Mitsubishi Electric Zubadan heat pump, warms the principal living and bedroom areas. A separate Mitsubishi ducted heating and cooling system runs off a City Multi outdoor unit. DEVI electric underfloor heating warms the bathrooms. A Stovax built-in wood burner anchors the living wing. Hot water is supplied by a heat-pump-connected Superheat cylinder. The technology layer carries through to a Beam central vacuum, a Digital Schlage keypad, an Evnex EV charger in the garage, a Focal in-ceiling and outdoor speaker system, a structured data cabinet with patch panel, and an outdoor camera system. Powder-coated, thermally broken aluminium joinery with Low-E argon-filled double glazing wraps the envelope, tuned for the basin’s climate by a Pro Clima Intello airtight membrane and Knauf Earthwool insulation.

Outside, the northern and eastern boundaries of the lot adjoin QLDC esplanade reserve along Mill Creek, providing a permanent landscaped buffer that protects the immediate setting in perpetuity. Expansive manicured lawns are framed by hundreds of younger trees planted on-title, while countless mature trees on surrounding properties set the midground of this scene. Magnificent, expansive views of Coronet Peak and the wider northern ranges cement the value of this position and its unique microclimate.

A PLACE TO BE

Lake Hayes is a picturesque area near Arrowtown in New Zealand’s South Island. Known for its magnificent lake, serene atmosphere and expansive landscapes, it offers a tranquil retreat while being close to Queenstown’s bustling town centre and world-renowned attractions.

Surrounded by mountain ranges, including The Remarkables and Coronet Peak, Lake Hayes boasts breathtaking views year-round. Its reflective lake and rolling hills create a peaceful setting that attracts high-net-worth individuals and families seeking privacy and luxury. The area features elegant homes and lifestyle properties, many designed to maximise natural light and showcase the surrounding scenery.

Lake Hayes appeals to outdoor enthusiasts, offering easy access to hiking, biking trails, equestrian activities, and skiing at nearby Coronet Peak. Despite its rural charm, it remains conveniently located, just minutes from Arrowtown and within easy reach of Queenstown’s shopping, dining, entertainment and international airport.

The community is a blend of locals and expatriates who enjoy the area’s high-quality lifestyle, slower pace, and strong connection to nature. Nearby attractions, including wineries and golf courses, enhance Lake Hayes’ appeal, offering leisure and relaxation opportunities. This coveted location combines luxury and tranquillity with accessibility, set against the iconic backdrop of New Zealand’s stunning landscapes.

The north shore of Lake Hayes is a small, tightly held pocket of rural-residential lots sitting directly above the water on the basin floor between Queenstown and Arrowtown. Lots typically range from 4,000m² to several hectares, most presenting as single-level homes set within established gardens and orchards. The combination of lake aspect, mature planting and the unqiue zoning gives the neighbourhood an enduring sense of privacy and outlook that is very difficult to replicate closer to town.
