Piwakawaka Point

Nestled on the shores of the South Island’s Lake Wanaka, Piwakawaka Point claims 330 acres with nearly 4 miles of private lakefront and 6 miles of trails. Opened in November, the villa is exceptional for more than just its location. The six-bedroom estate comes with a helipad—making for easy access to Queenstown, Milford Sound, and other Kiwi attractions—as well as private stables, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a personal staff. Inside, the vibe is luxury hunting lodge gone glamorous, with natural woods, stone, and leather blending with floor-to-ceiling windows and a minimalist design. For the height of Kiwi refinement, head downstairs to the villa’s expansive wine cellar to collect a sampling of the country’s best  from the vine.
