47 Forest Heights, Wanaka

Inspired by Le Corbusier, and designed by renowned architect Mike Sowman, this award-winning home in Peninsula Bay makes a bold architectural statement. Its striking black and white exterior creates a dramatic facade that sets the tone for an interior that is both stylish and functional. Thoughtfully designed to blend contemporary elegance with practical living, this light and spacious home boasts breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views across the lake to Treble Cone ski fields and beyond. Built over two spacious levels, the lower floor features a large, sleek bathroom and two generous double bedrooms opening directly to private, leafy gardens. The dramatic entry also leads directly through a retreat/office/lobby area to the garden. A versatile living area (with kitchenette) that flows seamlessly to an outdoor entertaining space, complements the ground level living. A stunning glass staircase with frameless balustrades draws one upstairs where panoramic lake and mountain views are a standout feature offering an ever-changing natural backdrop for entertaining or simply admiring the view. The heart of the home is a meticulously crafted Melanie Craig-designed kitchen with imported appliances and an abundance of storage. The master suite boasts a balcony and staircase to the garden. All bathrooms are beautifully tiled with Italian Lappato tiles and feature Italian glass vanities and tapware. Year-round comfort is assured with underfloor heating across five zones, a gas fire, and a ducted heating and cooling system throughout. Beyond the home spacious interior, private, established grounds provide a tranquil retreat, featuring lush lawns and multiple outdoor spaces to relax and entertain. The separate outdoor room presents versatility, ideal for a home office, Airbnb suite, gym, or conservatory style living area. The two-car garage offers excellent storage and a workshop. There is additional space for boat parking and guest vehicles on the drive, as well as space for a separate home office, boatshed or granny flat in the backyard. Positioned in a prime Peninsula Bay location, just moments from walking and biking trails and a short walk (or drive) to Lake Wanaka, with a reserve walkway on the northern boundary leading to a community pool, spa, BBQ area, and gym, this is an opportunity that balances lifestyle, functionality, and breathtaking surroundings.
