6 Caldwell Lane, Bendemeer, Lake Hayes, Queenstown
Overview
Designed by architect David Ponting, this home occupies what is arguably the finest position in the entire Bendemeer Estate. Elevated and north-facing, it is perfectly oriented to enjoy panoramic views across rolling hills to the dramatic mountain ranges beyond.
At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living zone featuring a beautifully appointed kitchen with a large scullery, flowing seamlessly into two dining areas for both casual and formal dining.
The light-filled main lounge and dining area feature wide ranch sliders opening to effortless outdoor living. The layout then flows to a second dining space, second lounge, wine room, and a substantial office or home library – a quiet retreat with views of the Remarkables and a dual-sided gas fireplace shared with the adjoining living area.
The master suite occupies the entire right-hand wing of the home, with large ranch sliders, sweeping views and all-day sun. Behind the bedroom is an extensive walk-in wardrobe and a serene ensuite featuring a sculptural stone bathtub carved from a boulder brought all the way from Ubud.
The guest wing includes two large bedrooms with their own ensuites, built-in storage, and garden access. A shared kitchenette makes this the perfect setup for visitors or extended family.
From the covered outdoor entertaining area with its wood-fired pizza oven, to the three-car garage with underfloor heating, to the solar-integrated passive heating and advanced water filtration systems – every detail of this home has been considered and executed to a remarkably high standard.
Minutes from Arrowtown, Millbrook, and Queenstown, this is a property that offers seclusion without compromise.
