Property Description

Commanding an elite position in the heart of the Mackenzie Country, this architectural home offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and luxury. Designed to embrace the raw, cinematic beauty of its surroundings, the residence enjoys breathtaking views across the turquoise waters of Lake Ōhau, the serene expanse of Lake Middleton, and the dramatic, snow-dusted peaks of the Southern Alps.

Spanning an impressive 372sqm, the home is a sanctuary flooded with natural light. The flowing layout is anchored by soaring ceilings, creating a sense of volume that mirrors the vastness of the landscape outside. At the heart of the home, a centralised schist fireplace provides a striking focal point, while zoned underfloor heating ensures effortless warmth throughout the expansive floor plan. The kitchen is well-appointed and perfectly positioned for entertaining, creating an inviting space to gather with family and friends after a day on the snow fields.

Discreetly positioned for absolute privacy, a secluded second dwelling is tucked away on the grounds. This independent residence provides a versatile space for extended family, a private guest escape, or a lucrative additional income stream via premium short-stay accommodation.

Whether envisioned as an exclusive holiday retreat or a sophisticated permanent sanctuary, this property offers a true lock-and-leave alpine lifestyle with a deep sense of spa-like tranquillity. The easy-care landscaping has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the rugged beauty of the surrounding countryside, ensuring your time is spent enjoying the environment, not maintaining it. All furnishings are included, along with a vehicle, making it a turnkey retreat — simply bring your bags and settle in.

For the outdoor enthusiast, the location is second to none. The world-renowned Alps 2 Ocean cycle trail passes nearby, while the lake’s edge beckons for boating and world-class trout fishing. Surrounded by spectacular alpine landscapes and walking tracks, the area is also a haven for hiking and exploring the high country on foot. With the Lake Ōhau Skifield in your immediate vicinity, this is a true four-season sanctuary. After a day on the water, trails, or the slopes, return to a private haven under the ethereal glow of the International Dark Sky Reserve.

A change in the owners’ plans has created a rare opening to secure this landmark estate. With their focus now elsewhere, the opportunity to claim this pinnacle of alpine luxury is yours. 1/1789 Lake Ōhau Road is not just a residence; it is a legacy in waiting.
