9 Cypress Court, Kelvin Heights, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago

Positioned in one of the most incredible elevated locations on the Peninsula, this architecturally distinctive 1980s home sits proudly above Jardine Park. The beautiful 784sqm section (more or less) opens directly onto the park, with immediate access to the Jack’s Point Bike Trail and a peaceful, private position at the top of a small cul-de-sac.

Architecturally inspired by a Swiss chalet, the alpine-style design showcases European flair and nostalgic character throughout. Set over three levels, the 347sqm (more or less) home offers plenty of scope for future renovation, yet those who appreciate traditional European charm will fall in love with the inviting atmosphere just as it is.

The open-plan living area features a unique fireplace and two sets of doors opening onto the main deck, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. From here, the home enjoys some of the most spectacular lake views toward Cecil and Walter Peaks, as well as across the Kelvin Heights Golf Course toward the Skyline Gondola.

The upstairs balconies take in even more striking views, looking out toward Hidden Island and across the park to The Remarkables. This outlook as the sun sets over the mountains is truly special - enjoyed by only a select few homes in this location. Downstairs, the home offers a range of versatile spaces, including an impressive German-inspired bar and a separate workshop or man cave featuring its own sauna. There is also a stunning self-contained home office with an ensuite and kitchenette - ideal for guests or Airbnb income. This space offers both internal access to the main home and private guest access via a ranch slider to a sheltered entrance sitting area.

Outside, the spa pool is perfectly positioned to capture the evening sunsets across the lake, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation.

The location is equally exceptional, with residents enjoying access to the tennis court, playing fields, and bike trails of Jardine Park, plus lakefront access just a few minutes’ walk away.

Please look online at the 3D Matterport Virtual Tour for a proper understanding of how gorgeous the gardens are and the layout of the home. Grant and Deborah look forward to welcoming you to their open homes.
