A rare piece of history, beautifully reimagined
Some homes simply have a story to tell. This original double-bay window transitional villa is one of them.
Dating back to the same era as the historic Lower Shotover Bridge, this beautiful character home captures the romance of a bygone era, where craftsmanship, charm and architectural detail were made to last.
Privately positioned at the quiet end of a secluded lane, opposite the historic Lower Shotover Bridge and alongside the renowned Queenstown Trail, the setting is every bit as special as the home itself. With easy access to the Shotover River and an extensive network of walking and cycling trails, the outdoors becomes a natural extension of everyday life. Peaceful, private and rich in history, this is a property with a genuine sense of place.
Behind its timeless façade, the villa has been beautifully transformed, combining original character with exceptional classic luxury. Four generous bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, plus a guest powder room, are complemented by high-end finishes carefully selected to honour the home's heritage. Every detail strikes a balance between old-world elegance and modern comfort, including central heating, bathroom underfloor heating and marble carefully selected and used throughout the kitchen and bathrooms.
Outside, expansive gardens create space to entertain, unwind and watch children play. An established orchard of apple, pear and plum trees, alongside berries and herbs, brings the simple pleasure of gathering something fresh from your own garden. Walking and cycling trails are close at hand, with the river just minutes away.
A separate one-bedroom cottage adds another dimension. With its own separate driveway access and private, fenced grounds, it offers independence for visiting family and friends, space for extended family, or potential for an additional income stream.
Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the property is a short distance from Frankton's shopping, restaurants and amenities, and Queenstown International Airport also within easy reach. A rare balance of peaceful country living and everyday convenience.
Romantic in character, exceptional in finish and rare in offering. This is more than a beautiful home. It is a piece of local history, reimagined for modern living, in a setting that feels a world away yet enjoys space, privacy and country charm so close to everything Queenstown has to offer.
Deadline Private Treaty 4pm, Thu 10 Dec, 2026 (unless sold prior).
