Overview

Perched high above Lake Wanaka, Ridgecrest is an architect-designed luxury vacation home offering 180-degree panoramic views of the Lake Wanaka and New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Just a five-minute drive from Wanaka’s town centre, this secluded Wanaka luxury villa blends contemporary design, spacious living, and premium amenities – making it perfect for large families, multigenerational holidays, or groups of friends.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the breathtaking lake and mountain views from every room. The expansive open-plan living area features a fully equipped designer kitchen, elegant dining space, and a relaxing lounge – all opening via sliding glass doors to the Loggia, an all-weather covered deck with a gas BBQ and outdoor fireplace. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of Central Otago wine as the sun sets over Lake Wanaka, or to use the binoculars to watch hikers making their way up Roy’s Peak.

Designed for large family groups.

Ridgecrest’s unique layout is ideal for groups wanting both connection and personal space.

Main House – 4 luxurious ensuite bedrooms.

Connected Apartment – 2 additional bedrooms with shared a bathroom, plus a full kitchen, dining area, lounge, and laundry.
