We love amazing places and there is no shortage of them in Queenstown.

Earlier this month, some members of the Place team were lucky enough to visit Queenstown on New Zealand’s beautiful South Island. There is so many things to do in Queenstown and it’s surrounds but it was also a golden opportunity for our team to get a sneak peek at some of the most spectacular homes in the area thanks to Terry Spice, a friend of Place and a Director of Luxury Real Estate New Zealand. 

In an environment bordered by the South Island’s Lake Wakatipu, the extraordinary terrain of snow-capped mountains as far as the eye can see make for truly unique properties specifically built to complement their surrounds. Here’s a glimpse of just one of the magnificent properties that our team was treated to... 

Welcome to 98 Domain Road, Queenstown 

“In the centre of Dalefield’s ‘golden triangle’ on an elevated knoll is one of the true architectural treasures of the Queenstown Lakes District. Using strong and timeless materials it has been designed with scale and presence and sits well in its landscaped position. A large central pavilion is flanked by four concrete pods forming 536 square metres of internal space in the main building. This is complimented by a separate bunker style triple garage of 78 square metres and 162 square metres of decking delivering total improvements of over 775 square metres.”  

“Sheltered by the northern pods is a courtyard featuring an open fire, built-in dining table, lounge suites, large umbrellas and a stunning bespoke spa pool. The courtyard connects to the lush green lawns surrounded by a grass amphitheatre. The panoramic views are extensive and take in all of the significant ranges surrounding the Wakatipu Basin. At the rear of the house is a custom-made sauna built inside a Corten steel box thoughtfully located by the ‘mudroom’ which has a shower.” 

What an absolute privilege it was for our team to be shown around this one-of-a-kind estate.
