Contemporary comfort in the heart of Gibbston

This beautifully designed contemporary home offers warmth, comfort and thoughtful design, with a wonderful aspect that brings in the natural light and creates inviting spaces to relax and enjoy.

Triple glazed with underfloor heating throughout the home, complemented by a woodburner fire, ensures year-round comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. Outside, two separate outdoor living areas provide plenty of space to entertain and unwind in the warmer months, including one with a woodfired pizza oven - perfect for relaxed evenings with family and friends.

There’s also exciting potential to add value and make the property your own, with room to extend or add on in the future, should you wish to create more space to suit your needs.

Set within the sought-after Gibbston Valley community, you’ll love the lifestyle on offer, with open space, walking and cycling tracks, and some of the region’s best wineries right on your doorstep.
With fantastic sunshine hours, zoning for Arrowtown Primary School, and Arrowtown just a short drive away - with Queenstown equally accessible - it’s a location that offers the perfect balance of lifestyle, convenience and community.

Whether you’re looking to put down roots, enjoy a little more space, or simply make the most of everything the Wakatipu has to offer, Gibbston Valley is a wonderful place to call home.
