Commanding an elite position in the heart of the Mackenzie Country, this architectural home offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and luxury. Designed to embrace the raw, cinematic beauty of its surroundings, the residence enjoys breathtaking views across the turquoise waters of Lake Ohau, the serene expanse of Lake Middleton, and the dramatic, snow-dusted peaks of the Southern Alps.

Spanning an impressive 371.8 sqm (approximately), the home is a sanctuary flooded with natural light. The flowing layout is anchored by soaring ceilings, creating a sense of volume that mirrors the vastness of the landscape outside. At the heart of the home, a centralised schist fireplace provides a striking focal point, while zoned underfloor heating ensures effortless warmth throughout the expansive floor plan. The kitchen is well-appointed and perfectly positioned for entertaining, creating an inviting space to gather with family and friends after a day on the snow fields.

Discreetly positioned for absolute privacy, a secluded second dwelling is tucked away on the grounds. This independent residence provides a versatile space for extended family, a private guest escape, or a potential additional income via premium short-stay accommodation.

Whether envisioned as an exclusive holiday retreat or a sophisticated permanent sanctuary, this property offers a true lock-and-leave alpine lifestyle with a deep sense of spa-like tranquillity.

After a day on the water, trails, or the slopes, return to a private haven under the ethereal glow of the International Dark Sky Reserve.
