ESPRESSO MARTINI

8 Spring Hill Road, Kelvin Heights

Nestled on Peninsula Hill, this architecturally refined home showcases panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains, perfectly positioned for the warmth and abundant sunlight on this side of the lake. 

The two-storey, four-bedroom home blends contemporary design with the beauty of Lake Wakatipu and Peninsula Hill. Step inside to expansive, light-filled spaces crafted for both family living and entertaining. Wrapped in cedar and concrete with sleek double-glazed windows, this retreat harmonises rugged elegance with modern luxury. The ultra-stylish kitchen features an Electrolux 5-gas hob, 90cm multifunction oven, Miele dishwasher, and Samsung French Door fridge/freezer. For a touch of refinement, a concealed bar offers a sophisticated space to craft a perfectly shaken Martini, or to simply uncork and unwind. Equally, this space could be reconfigured as a hideaway study/homework area or serve to showcase collector items or AV equipment.

The primary suite is a private oasis with panoramic vistas, a walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite featuring a freestanding tub and backlit vanity. Three additional bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, are served by two sleek, spacious bathrooms. The ground floor also features a large second living / studio space with kitchenette, further adding flexibility and opening more options for accommodation and recreation.

The outdoor spaces are equally remarkable, featuring a terrace designed for alfresco gatherings around the fire, at all times framed by sparkling lake views through the living room. A spa pool, lush landscaping, and a seasonal stream enhance the tranquil atmosphere. Perfectly positioned near the lake, golf course, and boat ramp,  and with easy access to Queenstown Airport, Frankton/Five Mile, and through into town, this property strikes a harmonious balance of serenity, style, and recreation.

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.

A Closer Look

ARTEKTUS

I was captivated when I visited the unique section with elevated views, all-day sun, and a dry creek valley running along its western side. The design brief called for a modern four-bedroom home with a separate studio, featuring clean contemporary lines and a sheltered, private outdoor area that is well connected to the internal living spaces while also offering stunning views of the lake.

The statement entry foyer, with its sleek black metal see-through stairs and double-height ceiling, welcomes visitors to the ground level. This space leads to high-ceiling open-plan living areas with tall windows that overlook Deer Heights Park, as well as a full-height glass sliding door that frames the lake views to the north.

The studio living area downstairs boasts a unique private outdoor deck overlooking the valley, enhanced by native plantings. The landscape plays a crucial role in creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.”
