Framed by the majestic peaks of The Remarkables, this is a setting that captures the essence of Queenstown living at its most captivating.
One of just 8 exclusive lakefront residences, 11 McKinlay Lane is a bold expression of modern alpine architecture.

The home
Expansive gabled glazing draws the outdoors in, bathing interiors in natural light while perfectly framing lake and mountain vistas. The open-plan living area extends effortlessly over the water’s edge, delivering a rare sense of connection to the landscape, complete with private lake access for a truly immersive experience.
Thoughtfully configured for both indulgence and practicality, the residence features five bedrooms, four beautifully appointed bathrooms, a powder room, media room and wine cellar, designer kitchen with scullery, separate laundry, and a double garage. Entertaining is effortless with a private outdoor courtyard, while a stunning waterfront cabana with outdoor fire creates a year-round setting for relaxation beside the lake.
Every detail has been carefully curated. Warm, layered textures and refined finishes create an atmosphere of understated luxury, while multiple living zones provide space for both quiet retreat and vibrant gatherings. A media room and wine cellar offer the perfect escape as alpine evenings set in.
Overlooking the renowned Jack’s Point Golf Course, and surrounded by world-class outdoor pursuits, from skiing to biking to award-winning wineries, this is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle defined by adventure, beauty, and exclusivity.
