The Lake House in Queenstown, owned by investor David Lawn, is listed for $10.425 million. The owners are downsizing to a "lock-and-leave" property but will remain in the Wakatipu Basin.
Redesigned by London architect Alex Wilcock, the nearly 600m² home features a unique "feminine" style with extensive glazing, contrasting with typical regional architecture. It includes five bedrooms, a 30m conservatory, and high-tech automation. The lakeside property has previously hosted corporate retreats for companies like Lululemon.
Owner David Lawn had the house designed by London-based architect Alex Wilcock in 2016. It was built over three years by Triple Star Construction.
A 30m-long conservatory with overhead louvres is a key feature of the triple-glazed house. No matter what the weather, it maintains a comfortable temperature inside.
Neutrally toned interior furnishings ensure the interior doesn’t compete with the scenery.

There’s a choice of seating and dining areas.
The house has five bedrooms, two of which are main suites. There is a separate guest wing.
Although quite isolated, the property is just 12 minutes from Queenstown by car. The town can also be reached by boat.
