Te Kahu, Wanaka

This award-winning 2010 ‘Home of the Year’ architectural masterpiece enfolds you in cutting-edge luxury whilst embracing the magnificence of the lake edge, Lake Wanaka and the Southern Alps.

Within 50-acres of tussock and natural bush, it sits serenely in its wild setting, making it the perfect get-away or get-to-know-you option. Daily maid service is included; choose to self-cater or be cooked for by a private chef, enjoying regional organic produce and famed wines.

Two cedar-clad living areas, one a media room, both lofty and welcoming with open fire places, introduce Te Kahu's world of warm cedar, cast concrete and floors of oak or silvery schist. The house offers sensational lake views, but every room keeps something back, secrets until you walk outside the villa.

Delightful Wanaka township just 20 minutes away. It's a popular destination for skiing in winter and for hiking, golf, fishing and boating in summer. Treble Cone, the area's premier ski slopes, is even closer. But only if you can bear to leave Te Kahu.
