Boutique Lakeside Living

Boutique Lakeside Living.

With a rich history of holiday homes and traditional cribs, the appeal lies in its enduring character, mature gardens and the rare privilege of living directly on the lakefront.

A distinctive recently constructed two-storey residence, this architecturally designed home makes the most of its extraordinary setting, capturing sweeping lake and mountain views while maintaining a sense of shelter, privacy and retreat. Carefully positioned windows frame the ever-changing outlook and invite the warmth of the northern sun throughout the day.

The home

Two levels, made for living well.

The house and garage

Designed by architect Kieran O'Connell, whose work reflects a strong commitment to sustainability, the home places energy efficiency and enduring materials at the forefront. Solar panels harness the north-facing aspect to power the home and vehicles, with an EV charger in the double garage. Externally, hempcrete walls provide highly effective insulation, while robust larch framing and ceilings finished in native tōtara bring natural warmth, texture and a distinctly New Zealand character.

The house and terrace at dusk

Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen and living area opens on to a covered deck, where the lake and mountain views can be enjoyed in comfort throughout the seasons. At garden level, a secluded terrace offers a welcome retreat on long summer evenings, set within a productive orchard of fruit and nut trees.

The covered deck

Despite its peaceful lakeside setting, Wānaka's schools, services and everyday amenities are only a short drive away, while the Eely Point boat launch is just around the corner.

Living and dining

With few properties offering such an immediate connection to the water, opportunities at Beacon Point are exceptionally rare. This is a home that captures the essence of lakeside living, where privacy, considered design and an extraordinary natural setting come together.
