Rare Lake Hayes legacy
Lake access. Reserve frontage. An address that becomes part of a family's story.
There are properties that offer a lifestyle, and then there are properties that become part of a family's story. Set on a remarkable 2,003sqm parcel adjoining Bendemeer Reserve with lake access, 57 Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Road looks north across Lake Hayes to Coronet Peak, an increasingly rare proposition in one of Queenstown's most coveted locations.
North-facing and immersed in the natural beauty of Lake Hayes, this is a place where days begin beside the water and evenings unfold beneath the mountains. The celebrated Lake Hayes walking and cycling trail is virtually on the doorstep, with Arrowtown, Five Mile and Queenstown all within easy reach.
At its heart sits the original family home, a modest yet much-loved three-bedroom residence with a generous downstairs rumpus, built by the current owners' parents in 1953. Today it provides a holiday escape, a place to gather, unwind and enjoy this extraordinary setting exactly as generations of the family have done. You don't need to create the lifestyle here. It already exists.
For those looking beyond today, the land and position present an exceptional opportunity - a chance to design a legacy home, an investment for future appreciation, or a considered development that makes the most of the landholding. Zoned Low Density Residential, the substantial site may offer potential for approximately three to four sites, or potentially up to six residential units, subject to Council consent and planning requirements.
Retain a cherished family retreat and land-bank one of Lake Hayes' most tightly held locations. Reimagine the existing home. Or explore development on an extraordinary landholding. Whatever the vision, the fundamentals are exceptionally difficult to replicate: lake access through the adjoining reserve, a north-facing aspect, substantial land, genuine development potential, and a location that cannot be recreated.
Nestled among the best of Queenstown, the property sits under 10km from Queenstown Airport. Amisfield Restaurant and Cellar Door is a short walk along the road, Mora Wines under 2km, Ayrburn 3km, Millbrook Golf Club and Resort 5km, Five Mile shopping centre 8km, and the historic village of Arrowtown 5km from the door.
With lake-access properties becoming ever harder to secure, opportunities of this calibre are increasingly the exception rather than the rule. For those who recognise the value of rarity, 57 Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Road represents an opportunity to secure not simply a property, but a piece of Lake Hayes to enjoy, shape and pass on for generations.
Some addresses are acquired. Others are inherited. This one could be both.
