Property Overview

The ultimate expression of luxury living on a Jacks Point ridgeline. This new home for sale in Queenstown at 18 McKellar Drive is modern and elegant but full of character. Award-winning Ben Hudson Architects designed this 318m² residence to blend contemporary lines with the gabled forms and natural materials of traditional farm buildings, creating a home that feels both striking and grounded.

Perched on a ridgeline site, the home takes an L-shaped plan: one wing dedicated to living and entertaining, the other to private bedrooms. This layout frames the alpine panorama while forming a sheltered courtyard for summer use. Living spaces flow onto decks and landscaped grounds, pulling your eye toward Lake Whakatipu and the Remarkables. On clear evenings, the view extends to Cecil and Bayonet Peaks.

The building envelope uses stone, schist and vertical Abodo timber cladding. Thermally-broken windows create sharp, clean openings that frame the landscape with precision. Inside, warm tactile materials balance the rugged mountain setting, delivering calm and intimacy across four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The Ferguson-Built Advantage

McKellar Drive demonstrates what Ferguson Builders delivers on complex sites. A ridgeline position, L-shaped footprint, and mixed-material cladding system required alpine construction expertise and attention to buildability. We executed Ben Hudson’s design with the technical rigour that has built our reputation across Jacks Point and wider Queenstown. This home carries the quality and finish that agents reference when they say “Ferguson Builders built this house.” Full warranties and complete construction documentation are included.
