About this property
River Ridge | Luxury Log House | Stunning River View | Sleeps 10
River Ridge is an exceptional log home, handcrafted in Canada by Pioneer Log Homes of BC, and meticulously reconstructed in New Zealand by local artisans. Nestled in a serene and private setting overlooking the mighty Clutha River, just 15 minutes from Wanaka, this expansive property evokes the charm of the Rocky Mountains, with breathtaking views of the snow-capped Southern Alps. This one-of-a-kind retreat blends rustic beauty with refined luxury, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every detail feels like a work of art.
As you step inside, River Ridge unfolds into spacious and thoughtfully designed living areas. The home features 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and multiple sitting areas, including a billiards room for added entertainment. The centerpiece of the home is the Grand Room, a striking open-plan space with soaring ceilings and exposed Canadian Western Red Cedar. The room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and seamlessly integrates a modern kitchen, elegant dining area, and cozy living room—ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
Every room is tastefully furnished, blending stylish elements with the unique, luxurious feel of the home’s mountain setting. River Ridge offers the perfect balance of comfort, elegance, and personality, with each corner exuding charm and character.
Step outside, and you’ll find plenty of space for fun and relaxation. Enjoy a family-friendly competition on the 6-hole frisbee golf course or challenge each other at the volleyball and badminton net. After a day of adventure, unwind in the 8-person Stoked hot tub, where you can soak in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape while enjoying a glass of local Pinot Noir.
Whether you’re gathering with family and friends or simply escaping the demands of everyday life, River Ridge offers the perfect environment to reconnect, relax, and appreciate the things that truly matter.
Minimum stay: 4 nights
Use of outdoor areas is prohibited between the hours of 10pm and 7am, according to Queenstown Lakes District Council resource consent regulations.
