Rare Architectural Masterpiece
A place where light dances and art breathes life into every corner, this home evokes a feeling that words can barely capture. Once the treasured sanctuary of one of New Zealand’s most beloved landscape artists, Tim Wilson, it now opens its doors as a warm, inspiring retreat, a space where creativity and comfort embrace.
Inspired by the timeless principles of Frank Lloyd Wright and masterfully crafted by architect Jeremy Kingan, this residence feels seamlessly intwined with Tim strategically positioning the windows to be a piece of art. Inside, Kauri-lined ceilings, French oak floors, and refined detailing create warmth and understated luxury. Cedar, Copper and Oamaru stone bring texture and balance to the façade, grounding the home in its natural setting with timeless architectural detail.
Every space tells a story. The ground floor opens into a generous living and dining area that flows to an alfresco terrace, where the lake becomes an ever-changing backdrop to daily life. The kitchen invites conversation and connection, anchored by a Falcon stove, knock-activated European appliances, a space that supports both quiet mornings and grand occasions with ease.
A separate lounge features dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows framing uninterrupted mountain views and the changing seasons. The master suite offers a private retreat with walk-in wardrobe, en-suite, and a terrace designed for unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.
Ascending the stairwell, hints of gold shimmer beneath each step, guiding you upwards. Bespoke lighting, designed in a 1920s-inspired style, draws soft, natural light into the hallway, revealing three further en-suited bedrooms and an additional bedroom or study, each space offering privacy without losing connection.
Then there is the former studio. Crossing a translucent glass floor, you enter a space wrapped in floor-to-ceiling lake views, with parquet flooring underfoot and an almost tangible sense of presence in the air. Once the creative heart of the home, it now offers endless possibilities, whether a bar, yoga studio, gym, office, bedroom or media lounge, the choice is yours.
Meticulously landscaped grounds and lush lawns create a private sanctuary, complete with a secluded hot tub for ultimate relaxation. A tranquil retreat that perfectly complements the home’s bespoke design and stunning Queenstown Hill surroundings.
For those who seek more than a home, for those who want a place that stirs emotion, welcomes guests, and holds meaning, this property is truly unmatched. It is a rare chance to own not just a luxury Queenstown residence, but a soulful retreat where architecture, landscape, and artistry live in perfect harmony.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
