Discover the magic of Queenstown at Swallowdale, a creatively curated retreat nestled into the hillside of Otago. This three-level home is an architectural treasure chest designed by local architect Noel Tapp, offering a perfect mix of modern and vintage vibes and providing an alpine escape to guarantee a memorable holiday.
Spread across three levels, the home features 3 bedrooms, 4 beds, and 2 bathrooms. Each bedroom is designed to capture the scenery; the mid-level bedroom features a double bed with a view of the rose garden and the Remarkables. Downstairs, you will find a queen bed and a double bed, both offering stunning lake and mountain vistas. For guests requiring extra space, a sofa bed in the library can accommodate a seventh guest, primarily suited for children.
Designed with love and attention to detail, the interior is filled with bright and cheerful artwork and luxurious furnishings. The living areas offer fantastic alpine views, where you can cozy up by the large schist gas fireplace or relax in the reading nook. Bibliophiles will adore 'The Library' on the mezzanine level, a light and bright space with a dedicated office and a vast collection of books. The kitchen is well-equipped for gourmet meals, featuring a wraparound bench top and a Nespresso coffee machine.
Step outside to the front deck to soak in the fresh alpine air and uninterrupted views of Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables Mountain range, Cecil Peak, and Walter Peak. The outdoor courtyard includes a rose garden and a Weber BBQ, with a neighboring public green reserve providing a flat play area for children.
Located on Panorama Terrace, this peaceful retreat is just a 4-minute drive from the town centre and a 25-minute walk along the famous lakeside Frankton walking track. Supermarkets and the Queenstown Airport are within a 10-minute drive, while Coronet Peak ski field is an easy 26-minute trip for winter enthusiasts.
