2 Elevator Lane, Jacks Point, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago

Who said your first home has to be a "starter" home?

Forget the fixer-upper, endless weekends renovating and the garden that takes up your entire Sunday. 2 Elevator Lane is modern, stylish, low-maintenance and ready to go.

Whether you're a first-home buyer wanting to start strong, an investor looking for a smart addition to the portfolio, or a downsizer ready to swap maintenance for lifestyle, this Jack's Point beauty ticks a LOT of boxes.

And investors... you'll want to keep reading.

With a long-term rental appraisal of $950-$1,000 per week, plus the added flexibility of 42 days Visitor Accommodation Consent, there's plenty to like about the income potential too.

EASY LIVING. SMART BUYING.

Spread across two cleverly designed levels, the home delivers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fantastic open-plan living space without the upkeep of a big property.

Upstairs, the spacious master suite features a built-in wardrobe and stylish ensuite, while a second generous bedroom and beautifully appointed bathroom complete the level.

Downstairs is where everyday life happens. The light-filled kitchen, dining and living area flows straight out to a private, sun-soaked courtyard with spectacular views towards The Remarkables - the perfect spot for a morning coffee, summer BBQ or cheeky wine after work.

The third bedroom features a generous walk-in wardrobe and offers plenty of flexibility - bedroom, guest room, home office... you decide.

Outside, the landscaped courtyard keeps things wonderfully simple with low-maintenance planting, a storage shed and enough outdoor space to enjoy without spending your weekends pushing a lawnmower around.

BUILT SMART TOO

Constructed with quality, efficiency and Queenstown conditions in mind, the home incorporates modern building technologies including an insulated raft foundation, sustainably sourced timber construction and energy-efficient heat pump heating.

The contemporary kitchen offers quality appliances, excellent storage and plenty of bench space - practical enough for Tuesday-night dinner, stylish enough when you're pretending you're on MasterChef.

AND THEN THERE'S THE LOCATION...

Jack's Point is one of Queenstown's most sought-after lifestyle communities, and it's easy to see why.

Championship golf, walking and cycling trails, Jack's Point Village and endless outdoor adventures are right on your doorstep, while Frankton's shopping precinct, Queenstown International Airport and The Remarkables Ski Area are all just a short drive away.

First-home buyers: skip the "we'll renovate it one day" stage and start with something you'll actually love.

Investors: $950-$1,000 per week rental appraisal + 42 days Visitor Accommodation Consent = an opportunity worth running the numbers on

Downsizers - less maintenance, more lifestyle - and no need to compromise on location or quality.

Holiday-home hunters: lock it, leave it and come back when the mountains are calling.

Whatever stage you're at, 2 Elevator Lane proves that smart buying can still look pretty damn good.

Come and see it for yourself - this could be the easiest property decision you make all year.
