Suspended in space: Spectacular Queenstown cliffhanger rivals view
Stunning Queenstown 'pod house' has a 9m cantilever
AI summary
A spectacular Queenstown house, nicknamed "Ebony and Ivory," is for sale. Designed by engineer Warrick Weber as part of his Smartpod concept, its standout feature is a 9m cantilever that creates a feeling of floating above the town with incredible views of The Remarkables.
The two-bedroom home is a stand-alone Stratum in Freehold, meaning there are no body corporate levies. This unique property offers architectural significance and practical benefits for a permanent or holiday residence.
