6 Caldwell Lane, Bendemeer, Lake Hayes, Queenstown
Overview
Offered for sale by Auction, this architectural masterpiece in Bendemeer is an extraordinary opportunity and must be sold on Auction Day (Unless Sold Prior).
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.
