THE HOMESTEAD
Lake Hayes, Queenstown, New Zealand
Nestled within 15 acres on the serene shores of Lake Hayes, this luxuriously renovated historic homestead is one of the country’s most iconic estates. With accommodation for up to 10 guests across five beautifully appointed bedrooms (four with en-suite bathrooms), you can enjoy the ultimate blend of comfort and privacy.
The Homestead’s extensive amenities elevate every moment. Unwind in the heated swimming pool and hot tub, break a sweat in the sauna and private gym, or enjoy friendly games on the pétanque court, croquet lawn, and trampoline. Wander through stunning gardens and paddocks, with private walking paths down to the boat shed and lakeside firepit, where unforgettable lakeside evenings await.
Inside, The Homestead effortlessly combines heritage charm with artistic contemporary elegance. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and multiple living spaces are designed for hosting and relaxation, featuring three indoor fireplaces for the ultimate ambiance and to keep you cosy year-round. Curated art and globally sourced furnishings add sophistication, creating a warm and welcoming ambience for long-term living.
Outdoor entertainment is endless with a floating fireplace, swimming area, games, and the nearby Lake Hayes walking trail. Stroll down the century-old Avenue or take advantage of the scenic Queenstown area with its ski fields, golf courses, vineyards, and world-class adventure activities just minutes away.
As part of Queenstown’s vibrant community, The Homestead is dedicated to giving back. Through The Green Project, we support the environment by planting natives and managing the invasive crack willow at Lake Hayes. The Art Project promotes New Zealand’s creative talent, contributing to the local arts scene.
Expressions of interest are now being invited for extended residencies at The Homestead for 3 - 24 months from April 2025. Contact the agent to secure the opportunity for you to experience true lakeside luxury, rich history, and the warmth of a welcoming community.
