Wanaka

As you pull in off the street and make your way up the driveway to Waimana, take in the grand exterior of this beautiful, architecturally designed holiday home. The stunning property, clad in cedar and schist, sits on expansive manicured lawns. Inside, sun streams in the floor-to-ceiling windows of the spacious living area, which boasts beautiful raked ceilings and polished concrete floors. Snuggle up on the couch in front of the large log burner, and enjoy a beverage while you watch the sun disappear down behind the mountains and the sky turning different shades of pink, orange and red. The open plan living area makes it easy to entertain while cooking, with a separate media room with gas fireplace for the children to hide away and catch up on some screentime. If the weather in Wanaka is turning on the charm, the property has great outdoor entertaining areas to make the most of it, complete with an outdoor fireplace and spa pool. Situated only a few moments walk to the lake, the property has great access to the trails leading into town, or out to Albert Town. Why not rent some bicycles and bike around the lake into town for lunch, stopping at Eely Point for a dip on the way home? The property sleeps 10 over 5 bedrooms, with 3 bathrooms and a separate powder room. The master area is situated in its own separate wing upstairs and has amazing views looking out onto the lake and mountains. The ensuite bathroom has a large, stand-alone bath to enjoy a long, hot soak after a day of skiing, as well as a tiled shower and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are spacious and bright, with most opening out onto their own patio areas in the garden. The underfloor heating throughout keeps the property warm in winter.
