Queenstown<\/a>, and it\u2019s only a 10-minute drive from the airport and shopping,\u201d said Nick Horton, director of Luxury Real Estate Limited and the listing agent.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe 5,060-square-foot house sprawls across a single level. All three bedrooms, with airy en suite bathrooms, take in unobstructed vistas of the lake and the towering Cecil Peak mountain across the bay. The home\u2019s library overlooks a waterfall known as Wye Creek, which rushes behind the property.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Designed by Auckland architect David Ponting, the home was custom-built for the sellers in 2018.<\/p>\n
The sellers, along with Ponting selected rarefied materials, including Italian volcanic sandstone flooring, local Timaru bluestone and black-stained cedar cladding on the home\u2019s exterior. Through Horton, the sellers declined to comment on the listing. With two islands, one for food preparation and a second for seating, the black-and-gray kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. A wine cellar off the kitchen includes a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator.<\/p>\n
The home is sold unfurnished, but custom lighting in the entrance foyer is included, along with a distinctive green sculpture by New Zealand artist Mark Hill at the entrance to the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amenities<\/p>\n
The home features a garage with parking for two cars. A separate cedar-clad boathouse offers flexible space for a studio, gym or boat storage, Horton said.<\/p>\n
Talking Points<\/p>\n
The perimeter of the house is designed as a Japanese-inspired garden, with limestone and lichen-covered rocks, along with walkways and niches for seating or entertaining. With no nearby homes, the property is surrounded by native trees.<\/p>\n
A secret staircase in the main home leads to a roof terrace with sweeping views of the water and mountains.<\/p>\n
Neighborhood Notes<\/p>\n
While isolated and private, the property is a short drive from Queenstown\u2019s Central Business District, with its dining, nightlife and shopping; ski resorts and golf courses are also close to Drift Bay. A city of about 50,000, Queenstown is in the Otago region of New Zealand\u2019s South Island.\u00a0 Queenstown Airport, with flights within New Zealand and Australia, is about 9 miles north.<\/p>\n
