Nestled in the peaceful hills of Queensberry, this award-winning architectural retreat is positioned midway between vibrant Lake Wānaka with its lively cafés, boutique shopping, and lakefront activities and historic Cromwell, home to local galleries and the celebrated wineries of Bannockburn, including Cloudy Bay and Mt Difficulty. Just up the road, Nanny Goat Vineyard offers a local taste of the region’s acclaimed Pinot Noir, with more cellar doors to explore along the scenic drive between towns. Wānaka Airport is a short drive away for scenic flights and high-adrenaline adventures, while the Clutha River below the property offers peaceful walking tracks and trout fishing. For serious hikers, a Department of Conservation trail behind the house climbs over the Pisa Range, eventually leading to Queenstown. Celebrated for its innovative design, environmental sensitivity, and masterful craftsmanship, Hawk House was a standout in the 2019 Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards. Earning multiple accolades, including Most Outstanding Residential Project in New Zealand, it was recognised for its exceptional attention to detail, quality of build, and the way it harmonises with its surroundings. Thoughtfully tucked into the hillside and clad in rugged Otago schist, the home is a subtle nod to The Lord of the Rings a modern-day, hobbit-style sanctuary that blends seamlessly with the dramatic landscape. Inside, expansive living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and warm natural finishes create a peaceful retreat. The main house offers three bedrooms and bathrooms, while a flexible studio space serves as a guest room, workspace, or wellness nook. Whether you’re winding down with a glass of local wine or heading out for mountain trails, riverside walks, or vineyard visits, Hawk House invites you to slow down or gear up as you choose. Come for the views. Stay for the peace. Step out for the thrill.
