31 Rutherford Road, Lake Hayes, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago

More than just a home, 31 Rutherford Road is a lifestyle choice. Capturing the essence of its location close to Lake Hayes, the position invites residents to relax and recharge while immersed in nature and sunshine.

Exploring the immaculately landscaped 4,174 square metre grounds, each step offers a new outlook, always framed by thoughtful planting. Carefully selected shrubs and trees create colour, shape, height and texture, irrigated for ease of maintenance. Browse the orchard’s plethora of fertile trees, take shade under a leafy pin oak or stroll the sweeping lawns. Keen gardeners will appreciate the rabbit fenced vegetable garden complete with potting shed.

Contemporary elegance and serenity permeate the north-facing home’s aesthetic. Striking high stud rooflines set a modern scene that continues throughout the light-filled, airy residence, with high ceilings that amplify the volume of the generous rooms. An open-plan living / dining / kitchen steps out on multiple sides to a broad patio with a sun-bathed spot for any time of day, and there’s a picturesque loggia for alfresco entertaining.

Polished concrete floors connect the interior spaces, with three of the four bedrooms enjoying added comfort from plush carpet. Comprehensive heating includes zoned underfloor powered by diesel plus a gas fire and panel heaters, with the warmth kept in place by extra thick, well-insulated walls.

Oversize double garaging and a large laundry/workroom add space for all of the Queenstown toys and an extra layer of functionality to the home.

Beautifully connected to its surroundings, wide-ranging outlooks include Brow Peak and the Crown Range. On a peaceful rural road with direct access to the renowned Queenstown Trail network, it’s a short cycle ride to nearby Lake Hayes.

Savour life’s simple moments in a setting that celebrates nature’s beauty.
