Commanding an elevated position on Queenstown Hill with uninterrupted views across the glistening waters of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding snowcapped mountains beyond, Ataahua - meaning beautiful - is an exceptional new residence where contemporary architecture, refined interiors and resort-style living come together. Brand-new and spanning approximately 496 sq m, this remarkable five-bedroom residence has been created without compromise. Positioned in a cul-de-sac with easy walking distance to central Queenstown, Ataahua offers an exceptional combination of privacy, scale, spectacular views and proximity to one of New Zealand's most celebrated alpine destinations. AIP eligible and offered fully furnished, the property also holds consent for 365-day visitor accommodation, providing flexibility as a permanent residence, luxury Queenstown retreat or premium accommodation proposition. The striking exterior combines smoked oak cedar, Euro Tray metal cladding and schist stone, creating a contemporary architectural presence that sits naturally within the alpine landscape. Inside, generous proportions, impressive stud heights and expansive thermally broken glazing fill the home with natural light while framing the lake and mountain views. At its heart is a sophisticated open-plan kitchen featuring Binova Italian cabinetry, premium Miele appliances and a dedicated scullery. The adjoining dining and living spaces are designed for both relaxed living and entertaining, complemented by a temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar. A refined palette continues throughout, with bespoke cabinetry, Italian fixtures and tiles, oak flooring and Bremworth wool carpeting. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with a beautifully appointed ensuite, gas fireplace and spectacular outlook. Five bedrooms, six bathrooms including ensuites, two powder rooms and an office provide generous accommodation, while a fully self-contained apartment offers independence for guests or extended family. The lower level is dedicated to wellness and entertaining, featuring a sophisticated whisky bar, sauna, gym, plunge pool and spa. Outdoors, a superb barbecue area with integrated heating provides an inviting setting for year-round entertaining. A state-of-the-art cinema with Sonos sound, bar and wine fridge creates another impressive space to unwind. Year-round comfort is assured with hydronic and electric underfloor heating, fully ducted heating and cooling, and a Cibes Swedish lift connecting all levels. A dedicated lock-up room provides secure storage for personal belongings and alpine equipment, while the internal-access double garage includes EV charging and is complemented by generous off-street parking. Offered with brand-new furniture carefully selected to complement the architecture and interiors, Ataahua is ready to be enjoyed from the moment you arrive. For discerning buyers seeking an exceptional luxury property in Queenstown, Ataahua combines architectural design, uninterrupted Lake Wakatipu views, resort-style amenities, 365-day visitor accommodation consent and AIP eligibility in a highly sought-after Queenstown Hill location.
