20 Advance Terrace, Arrowtown, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago

Designed by renowned architects Fearon Hay, this remarkable home has been crafted to celebrate space, light and connection. Positioned on Arrowtown’s coveted southern ridgeline, the property commands a sweeping panorama across The Hills Golf Course and the Whakatipu Basin to the mountains beyond. Picture-frame windows capture landscape masterpieces - the changing light on The Remarkables, the quiet winter mist and the glow of sunset.

Light dances through a series of living spaces, their volume elevated by high ceilings. The extensive open-plan living/dining/kitchen unfurls toward the landscape, its stacking sliders blurring the line between interior and exterior. A deck and lawn reach out to the view, while a sheltered central courtyard with an open fire provides an intimate counterpoint to the bold, open outlooks.

The kitchen forms the home’s natural heart - dual islands of natural stone, soft grey tones, walk-in pantry and recently updated appliances lend a sense of luxury. The interior spaces are linked by concrete and timber floors, with diesel-powered underfloor heating, radiators and a powerful woodburner ensuring year-round comfort.

Four spacious bedrooms each have a walk-in robe and are serviced by three beautifully appointed tiled bathrooms. The master suite, complete with its own study and ensuite, opens to the garden with its mountain vistas.

Double garaging includes a workshop and storage area, with a unique cladding design that filters natural light inside. Additional features include automated blinds, a Beam central vacuum system and abundant storage throughout the home.

Outdoors, the garden tells its own story. Raised vegetable beds, a glasshouse and fruiting apple and plum trees enhance the sense of a lived-in landscape. The grounds feature a four-phase irrigation system, multiple sheds and ample parking.

All-day sun, striking architecture, proximity to the village and the rare quiet of this sought-after position combine to create an exceptional Arrowtown residence.
