8 Drake Place, Lake Hawea, Wanaka, Otago

Secure your future with this sunny, smartly designed home, positioned discreetly just one street back from the Hawea lakefront reserve. Privately nestled among mature trees and sheltered from prevailing winds, the generous 1,594sqm north-facing (lower density suburban residential) land parcel offers exciting potential for subdivision (subject to council approval).

Set in a superb lifestyle location, you’re just two minutes’ walk from the lake shore, frisbee golf course, scenic walking tracks, and Hawea’s favourite dog-walking spot—an unbeatable combination for outdoor lovers and active families.

Built circa 2005, the solid two-storey residence is cleverly configured for flexibility. Upstairs, the sunny open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas are warmed by both a wood burner and heat pump (ducted to the master bedroom). Clever window placement floods the master with natural light while maintaining tree-top privacy, and an open-plan walk-in wardrobe and a study nook add further functionality. The bathroom features mountain views and a spa bath—providing the perfect spot to unwind. Downstairs features a single garage with workshop, laundry, and a studio apartment complete with kitchenette, generous open-plan bedroom/living area, bathroom (heated tiles, heated towel rail), and seamless flow to a pebbled courtyard via double glass doors. Comfort is ensured year-round with a heat pump and electric wall heater.

Construction is reassuringly robust, with a plaster-finish concrete block ground floor, bevel-backed weatherboard upper level, and corrugated iron roofing with generous eaves.

Framed by mountain glimpses in every direction through view shafts in the trees, this property offers lifestyle, privacy, and long-term potential — whether you're stepping onto the ladder or seeking a savvy investment in one of Wanaka's most loved satellite communities.
