The Art House | Queenstown lakefront & central location

Situated in Queenstown’s prestigious ‘dress circle’ on Park Street, The Art House is a curated lakeside sanctuary. This much-loved home offers the rare luxury of a quiet, scenic location while being just an easy five-minute stroll from the vibrant energy of Queenstown. With uninterrupted views across Lake Wakatipu and a beautiful collection of original artwork, it is the perfect retreat for those who value style, serenity, and central convenience.

VIEWS:
The front-row position of this waterfront home boasts uninterrupted views and an incredible close-up of Lake Wakatipu. From here, you can admire an impressive panorama including the famous Remarkables mountain range, Cecil Peak and Walter Peak. Three of the four bedrooms show off these outstanding views, expertly designed so you can soak in the mountain peaks and shimmering water without even leaving your bed.

LOCATION:
The phrase `location, location, location` was practically invented for this spot. Situated on a peaceful street, The Art House offers a scenic five-minute stroll along the lakefront and through the Queenstown Gardens, bringing you straight into the heart of town. It is the perfect balance of quiet serenity and ultimate convenience. Fantastic restaurants, cafes, shops, and bars are just minutes away.

The Art House is 7km from the Queenstown Airport, and is an easy 24-minute drive to Coronet Peak for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, or its downhill mountain biking in the summer.

STYLE:
True to its name, The Art House is a celebration of curated style. The interior is adorned with a beautiful collection of the owner’s original artwork, creating an atmosphere that is both intriguing and deeply inviting.

High vaulted, beamed ceilings add to the alpine character of the home and enhance the sense of space. It’s a residence that feels personal and full of stories – the perfect base for your Queenstown escape.
