If you are looking to secure a sanctuary in Wanaka then we welcome you to view this striking new residence, positioned just two blocks from the lake's edge.
Set within one of Wanaka’s most tightly held neighbourhoods, the location underpins the home’s appeal. Morning swims, lakefront walks and cycling trails are all within easy reach, while nearby schooling and town amenities ensure everyday convenience. It is a setting that balances lifestyle and long-term value with quiet confidence.
Designed by Australian architect Nicholas Tang and crafted in 2025 by renowned local builder Dan Fountain, the residence presents as a bold, contemporary composition. A refined black façade and crisp linear geometry establish a strong architectural identity, while the material palette and detailing signal a home conceived with intent.
Spanning approximately 355 sq m, the two-level floorplan is both expansive and highly resolved. Arrival is marked by a sculptural staircase in solid timber and glass, a central architectural gesture that sets the tone for the interiors beyond. At its core, open-plan living unfolds beneath dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing, orientated to capture light and frame elevated alpine vistas. The interplay of volume, light and outlook creates a living environment that feels both grounded and expansive. The dual-sided schist fireplace introduces warmth and spatial definition without interrupting flow. The kitchen is designed as both anchor and interface. A generous island and breakfast bar encourage connection, while seamless integration with outdoor living allows for effortless transition between interior and exterior zones.
Accommodation comprises five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, configured with flexibility in mind. Two master suites, each with built-in wardrobes and private ensuites, provide options for hosting, multigenerational living or premium guest accommodation. A large separate family room provides additional space to spread out, whether for media, relaxation, or quiet retreat. The private sauna introduces a resort-like dimension, while an internal laundry with easy external access ensures day-to-day functionality is uncompromised.
Set on a landscaped 612 sq m (more or less) site, the grounds are deliberately low maintenance, with slate detailing reinforcing the home’s architectural language. The result is a property that is as easy to live in as it is visually compelling.
In a location defined by its proximity to the lake and connection to the Wānaka outdoor lifestyle, this is a residence that delivers architectural clarity, spatial generosity and enduring appeal.
