5 Bloxham Lane

Lake Hayes Estate, Nueva Zelanda

Descripción

Set within the coveted Bendemeer enclave, 5 Bloxham Lane is a home that understands the value of proportion, permanence and architectural clarity. Only a few years old, it’s been crafted with a confidence that makes it feel immediately settled into its remarkable alpine environment. Occupying a sun-bathed elevated site of approximately 1.18 hectares, the property has outlooks unfolding in every direction. Coronet Peak, the Crown Range and the north face of The Remarkables form a mountainous horizon, creating a constant dialogue between house and place. Open space around the home lends both scale and calm. Designed by Mason & Wales, the architecture is refined yet relaxed, contemporary in execution but timeless in intent. Extensive stonework, cedar finishes inside and out, expansive glazing and elegantly resolved proportions allow it to breathe with the seasons. Indoors and out flow effortlessly together, with patios inviting both quiet moments and large gatherings. The kitchen is sleek, intuitive and quietly luxurious, anchored by dark grained cabinetry and granite and designed as much for conversation as for cuisine. A convenient scullery with additional dish drawer keeps on-show areas tidy. Integrated Miele, Vintec and Liebherr appliances and ECC lighting reflect the premium quality on show throughout the property. The kitchen is open to light-filled dining and living areas, where a substantial open fire, cathedral ceiling and north-facing window seat create a welcoming place to linger. Stepping outdoors through triple-stacking sliders, the loggia forms the social heart of the home, a natural extension of the living spaces. Sheltered from prevailing winds and superbly appointed, it offers an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, fireplace, louvred roof, pool and outdoor shower. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with a private master wing with ensuite complemented by a media room and office, while three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms maintain a consistently high standard of finish throughout. The broad hallway doubles as a gallery space, and every detail, from integrated systems to tactile materials, speaks to a place designed for ease, comfort and longevity. Landscaped and irrigated grounds, ample parking, fitted laundry / mudroom and cleverly concealed service areas ensure the property works as beautifully as it looks. Life at Bendemeer extends well beyond the houses. Residents enjoy access to shared ponds, walking tracks, a tennis court and the award-winning Lakeside Pavilion with its jetty and entertainment spaces. Some of the region’s finest dining, wineries, golf courses and ski fields are close at hand, with Arrowtown, Queenstown and the international airport all within easy reach. Peaceful, private and impeccably executed, this unique residence offers a lifestyle defined not by excess, but by quality, space and a deep connection to one of the region’s most enduring landscapes.
