Exclusive Queenstown Property

‘Best Street’ Closest to Water for Exclusive Queenstown Property

8 March 2007

A newly built executive home on a former “Queenstown Street of the Year” in exclusive Kelvin Heights, offers a range of unique features not available anywhere else in Queenstown, according to Pete Townsend of Harcourts Queenstown who has just started marketing it.

“The ‘Willow Cove’ property at 42 Willow Place is in a quiet cul-de-sac with only a lane separating the property from the lake. While many other Kelvin Heights properties are waterfront, seldom would you ever come across an opportunity to live any closer to the lake than on this street,” Mr Townsend said.

In addition, each of the four houses in Willow Place owns a quarter share of the jetty directly out front which was recognised as an increasingly rare feature due to tightening control on jetties. “Another unique feature is the massive rock discovered during the building process which has created a stunning entrance foyer.”

The property also has four double bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a media room, contemporary gas fire, heatpumps and “sparkling lake and mountain views” with Willow Place in a sunny sheltered part at the start of Kelvin Heights providing easy access to central Queenstown.

With marketing just started at $1.59 million, Mr Townsend was confident the property would suit as both a family home or a ‘lock and go’ holiday home for those who actively enjoyed water activities or world-class scenery year round. “While Willow Place was voted Queentown’s Street of the Year in 1990, it continues to provide a level of exclusivity which is becoming increasingly more competitive to secure.”

Harcourts Queenstown Manager, Kelvin Collins, confirmed their office had continued to receive strong buyer enquiry right throughout summer with activity up 40 percent on the previous year. He noted the strongest enquiry was still from local residents purchasing investments and homes up to $600,000.

“There has also been a noticeable shift in buyer enquiry for property in the upper price bracket with 25 percent of sales to overseas purchasers and good interest from other parts of New Zealand with buyers looking to move to the region or secure a holiday home.”
