Suspended in space: Spectacular Queenstown cliffhanger rivals view
Stunning Queenstown 'pod house' has a 9m cantilever
AI summary
A spectacular Queenstown house, named Ebony and Ivory, is for sale, featuring a dramatic 9-metre cantilever that creates a "floating" sensation with views of The Remarkables.
Designed by structural engineer Warrick Weber, the home consists of two distinct pods: a black one for living and a white one for the main bedroom.
This unique two-bedroom property is a stand-alone Stratum in Freehold title, meaning there are no body corporate levies, making it an appealing permanent or holiday home.
