This spectacular Queenstown property, Ebony and Ivory, features a dramatic 9m cantilever designed by structural engineer Warrick Weber. The unique "pod house" design creates a feeling of floating above the town while offering incredible views of The Remarkables.
The home's two pods contain the open-plan living area and the main bedroom suite. As a stand-alone Stratum in Freehold residence at 8 Olivers Place, it has no body corporate levies and goes to auction April 17.
