A visionary new residential development is poised to reshape alpine living in Queenstown. The Crest Chalets is a boutique, design-led community that blends contemporary elegance with the spectacular natural surroundings of the adventure capital.

Designed to capture sweeping views of the Remarkables, the high-end development will offer 100 single-bedroom residences—comprising 86 standalone chalets and 14 architecturally elevated cabins.

“The theme of this stunning project is the mountains, and each property comes with the most spectacular view. The high-end design is similar to what you would find offshore in the European Alps, there’s nothing else quite like this in Queenstown,” says Bayleys salesperson Sarena Glass.

Designed to suit a range of lifestyles the stunning properties start at just $669,000, with stand alone freehold titles removing the need for body corporate fees.

Crafted by renowned architectural firm Designgroup Stapleton Elliott in partnership with Gibbons Co, each home blends modern elegance with comfort and functionality, all positioned to embrace the natural surroundings.

“Gibbons Co. has an exceptional track-record in producing beautiful high-end developments. To date the team have completed over 50 new housing projects across the country including the standout Five Mile Villas in Queenstown.”

All the Interiors are thoughtfully configured to enhance space and light, with open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas.

Intelligent layouts feature bespoke joinery, heat pumps, laundry cupboards and generous storage, ensuring a low-maintenance lifestyle with no compromise on quality. All of that flowing seamlessly into private outdoor spaces.

“These beautiful areas are what set the properties apart from a standard apartment, creating more freedom and space to entertain and relax in. There’s also the option for buyers to work with the developer to select the various styling features they prefer in their homes.”

Each residence also comes with its own car park, as well as the option to purchase another.

The 50sqm chalets offer a refined two-level floorplan, with downstairs kitchen and living areas that showcase breathtaking mountain vistas. A custom staircase leads to a mezzanine-level bedroom complete with built-in wardrobes.

“A key feature of the chalets is the high stud floor to ceiling windows which take in the spectacular views, while the mezzanine gives it a more spacious feel. A lot of the design has been inspired by alpine environments around the world.”

The 45sqm cabins offer a sophisticated alpine escape, suspended above the landscape to maximise panoramic outlooks. The open-plan interior extends to a private balcony, while a fully tiled bathroom, laundry facilities, and well-designed bedroom complete the picture.

“The cabins come with the ease of single floor living. It’s perfect for retirees or those with limited mobility to get around and enjoy. They’re also being built in some of the key positions that deliver the best views.”

Located just a short stroll from the vibrant Country Lane precinct, the Five Mile shopping centre, and only five minutes’ drive from Queenstown Airport, The Crest offers a rare balance of seclusion and connectivity.

“Boutique cafes, breathtaking lakeside strolls or adrenaline inducing adventure sports are all easily within reach. The Crest is a luxurious gateway to hiking and biking trails, quiet morning coffees or spontaneous ski trips.”

Thoughtfully positioned in an enviable location residents can immerse themselves in the region’s natural beauty, while also enjoying the ease of everyday convenience.

“There is something for everyone. They’re the perfect lock up and leave, somewhere for downsizers to relocate to, not to mention the investment potential for short and long term stays. These properties offer so much.”

With completion anticipated for Summer 2027, The Crest Chalets represents a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Queenstown’s future.
