The Postcard

There’s a quiet corner of Millbrook Resort chosen by a small number of like-minded residents who value the location, low-maintenance lifestyle and sense of community within a community. It’s called Fox’s Rush: a crescent of freehold terraced homes built by Millbrook around a private lane in the early days of the resort. The weeping willow-adorned pond and practice fairway sit on one side, with a mature, blossoming, tree-lined bund on the other. Recently refurbished from top to bottom by an award-winning interior designer, number 15 is being sold fully furnished and is now ready for your full-time or part-time enjoyment.

Downstairs, beautiful Haro oak flooring runs through to a brand-new transitional-style kitchen with a generous island, stone countertops, a butler sink with a polished brass bridge mixer and new Westinghouse appliances (including a 90-centimetre oven, an induction cooktop and a French-door fridge). There’s an under-stair bar with its own drinks fridge, a powder room dressed in panelling and tapestry wallpaper, and a living room built around a stacked and bagged schist chimney with an Escea gas fire. French doors open onto the dreamy, sheltered, west-facing patio.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has its own balcony and an en suite with a freestanding bath, a double vanity and a shower. The second bedroom has its own en suite too, and the bunk (or study/sewing) room sits under a motorised skylight. Beautiful brass tapware, backlit mirrors and heated floors feature in both en suites, and there’s a laundry station right where you need it on the landing.

Structurally, this home is solid. It’s built largely of tilt-slab concrete, with a quintessential Millbrook solid plaster finish and double-glazed aluminium joinery. It also has a brand-new roof, spouting, and downpipes.

Millbrook itself is a magnificent place to live or to call your home away from home: 36 holes of championship golf, an international award-winning spa, a fitness centre, tennis, restaurants and a reception desk that never closes. Arrowtown is four minutes away, and the airport is about seventeen minutes away. Queenstown itself is also easily accessible through Gorge Road, either by car or Millbrook’s shuttle service. If you prefer travelling and exploring by bike, the Queenstown Trail runs directly through Millbrook, connecting you to the entire network.

Whether it’s a permanent home or a lock-and-leave base (with the option to let it through the Millbrook rental programme for up to 179 nights a year), this drop-dead gorgeous, designer home is ready for you to move straight into. We invite you to attend an open home and consider whether this could soon become the place you stay for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
