Residential -
An architectural masterpiece nestled within the prestigious Millbrook Resort is offering buyers an exclusive opportunity to experience refined resort living just minutes from historic Arrowtown.
Designed by the acclaimed firm Mason & Wales and completed in 2025 by Allister Saville Builders, Te Mira is a sophisticated contemporary alpine residence that seamlessly blends timeless design, and lifestyle.
“We've put together everything we've learnt over the last decade about what people want in a home” says architect Hamish M Muir . “A great example of this is the fact that people don’t often put in rooms for golf gear and outdoor equipment. Another thing is people are wanting bigger and more indulgent dressing rooms, and outdoor living spaces with a fire. We’ve included all of this and more at 1 De La Perrelle Lane.”
Elevated on a generous 1,592sqm sun-drenched site, the home commands sweeping views of the surrounding mountain ranges, creating an ever-changing alpine backdrop that evolves with the seasons.
“The elevation, the separation, and the extra space around it are huge selling features. Additionally the location also granted us design guidelines within Millbrook that allowed for more character, a larger scale and a more contemporary dwelling.”
“Some have called this property a ‘handsome house’, but to me it’s a refresh or a ‘black label’ on what the traditional Millbrook product is.”
The striking exterior is composed of natural materials including Corten steel, schist, cedar, oak, and southern beech, setting the tone for the impeccable craftsmanship found within. Throughout the home, handcrafted bespoke joinery and premium finishes offer warmth, texture, and refinement.
“Probably the standout is the tilt slab concrete. So we've done that for the garage and that's heavily textured and also zero maintenance, but still contemporary and very cool.”
“We often talk about the house channeling a Yellowstone vibe. It’s a little bit John Dutton, but also with accents of Beth Dutton in there too. There’s a feminine touch, with added masculinity through the use of that texture.”
The spacious floorplan features four separate living areas, including a central lounge, a breakfast nook, a media room, and a private loft retreat, ensuring versatility and comfort for families or guests.
“Traditionally, a loft area has been used when the New Zealand Open is on but separate to that having a guest area like that is something increasingly important for Queenstown, because you end up with a lot of friends, a lot of people that want to come and stay for extended periods of time.”
At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space that extends seamlessly to an outdoor entertaining area. Designed for year-round enjoyment, this alfresco setting features a corten steel fireplace, built-in barbeque, and beautifully landscaped gardens that frame the panoramic mountain outlook. “I think one thing that's pretty amazing which a lot of people take for granted is that you can see three ski fields from one spot. So you can see Cardrona, Coronet Peak and the Remarkables.”
The residence includes four substantial bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. The master suite is complete with a luxurious ensuite and a generous walk-in wardrobe. Two additional bedrooms also feature their own ensuites, while a fourth bedroom is located within the private loft.
“What's interesting is there’s a second master bedroom. A lot of houses where they're short-term rented only have one which can be tricky as there’s often two families staying there. A second means you can really look after your guests, which is a highly practical feature for the house.”
Comfort and practicality are prioritised with a suite of high-end features including hydronic underfloor heating, heat pumps, an indoor gas fireplace, heated towel rails, and a water purifier. A hydronic air-to-water system ensures efficient heating throughout and the carpeted triple garage includes ample storage as well as enough space to accommodate two golf carts.
Residents of Te Mira enjoy full access to Millbrook’s world-class amenities. These include a 36-hole championship golf course, a driving range, beauty spa, gymnasium, indoor heated pool, saunas, tennis courts, and a selection of acclaimed restaurants and cafés.
Te Mira is more than just a home, it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the beauty, elegance, and privilege of one of New Zealand’s most celebrated lifestyle destinations.
