22 Falconer Rise is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence set on an elevated 824m² site within the Jacks Point master-planned community. Completed in 2017, the home features a striking dual-gable design with cedar timber cladding, local schist stone, and extensive glazing that frames panoramic views across The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, Ben Lomond, and Cecil Peak. The property includes a residential lift, cedar-lined sauna, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and indoor living green wall.
The dwelling comprises approximately 305m² of floor area on Lot 2061 DP 477519. It is located within the Hummocks precinct of Jacks Point, approximately 16 kilometres south of central Queenstown, with access via the Jacks Point internal road network from State Highway 6 (Kingston Road).
The home is arranged across two levels, connected by an open-tread timber staircase and a Vestner residential home lift. The upper level contains the main living areas, kitchen, dining, bar, and master suite, while the lower level accommodates three further bedrooms, additional living space, a second fireplace, sauna, wine cellar, and direct access to outdoor entertaining areas including a spa pool, outdoor fireplace, and louvre-covered deck.
A glass-sided Vestner residential lift (500 kg capacity, 6 persons) connects both levels, set alongside a full-height indoor living green wall with integrated irrigation mounted on a steel grid system. Three glass globe pendant lights are staggered through the double-height stairwell.
At the lower level, a cedar-lined sauna with multi-level benches and electric heater provides year-round use, while a walk-in wine cellar behind black-framed glass sliding doors offers floor-to-ceiling timber racking for a serious collection.

Jacks Point is a premier master-planned resort-residential community on the eastern shore of Lake Wakatipu, approximately 16 kilometres south of central Queenstown. The development sits between State Highway 6 (Kingston Road) and the lake, with The Remarkables mountain range forming its dramatic eastern backdrop. The community integrates residential living with an internationally acclaimed golf course, walking and cycling trails, village amenities, and direct lake access.
22 Falconer Rise is located within the Hummocks precinct of Jacks Point, on an elevated site that provides panoramic views from The Remarkables across to Coronet Peak, Ben Lomond, and Cecil Peak. The northwest-facing aspect maximises solar gain and captures full-day sun exposure, while the elevated position above neighbouring properties maintains privacy and uninterrupted views.
The Jacks Point Golf Course, designed by John Darby of Darby Partners and opened in 2008, is an 18-hole par 72 championship layout consistently ranked among New Zealand's finest. It was named the country's Best Golf Course at the 2020 World Golf Awards and features in Golf Digest's 2024 World's 100 Greatest Golf Courses. The course weaves through the natural landscape of bluffs, wetlands and indigenous vegetation.
The wider Jacks Point community includes a commercial village under development near Lake Tewa, trail networks through the surrounding landscape, and is governed by the Jacks Point Residents and Owners Association (JPROA). Retail and services are available at nearby Remarkables Park, Five Mile, and central Queenstown. Queenstown International Airport is approximately 15 minutes' drive via Frankton, and The Remarkables ski field is around 45 minutes away.
The property is held on Record of Title 662044 (Otago Land District), comprising a fee simple estate in Lot 2061 Deposited Plan 477519 with an area of 824m². The title was issued on 9 October 2014 as part of the Jacks Point subdivision and is subject to multiple land covenants, consent notices, and easements established during the subdivision process.
The following instruments are currently registered against the title. All instruments have been reviewed as part of this research.
| Instrument | Type | Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6128838.2 | Land Covenant | 27 Aug 2004 | Master land covenant established as part of the Jacks Point subdivision.

| 12121255.2 | Court Order | 14 May 2021 | Court order extinguishing land covenant created by Easement Instrument 6863718.3 as it relates to Lots 27 and 94 DP 547946. As above, this affects the wider covenant structure rather than the subject lot itself. |
Note: The title also carries mortgage and transfer instruments relating to changes in ownership. Any existing mortgages will be discharged on settlement.
The home presents as two linked gable forms, clad in warm cedar timber with local schist stone at ground level. Floor-to-ceiling glazing on the upper level captures the mountain panorama, while glass balustrades to the balconies maintain clean sight lines. The gable-roofed design conforms to the Jacks Point Hummocks Design Guidelines, which call for a unified gable form with materials drawn from local stone, timber weatherboards, and corrugated iron in grey-through-earth-tone colour palettes.
The attached double garage is set back approximately 11.2 metres from the road boundary, with native landscaping softening the street-facing elevation. A resource consent variance was approved for the garage orientation, which faces the street rather than running parallel to it.
The property sits within the Jacks Point community, which is governed by the Jacks Point Residents and Owners Association Incorporated (JPROA). The JPROA maintains communal facilities including the golf course, internal roads, waterworks, and reticulation infrastructure. Key obligations for lot owners include:
| Membership | Mandatory membership of JPROA for all lot owners. On sale, the purchaser must become a member and accept all JPROA obligations. |
| Annual Levies | Annual levies are payable to fund the operation and maintenance of communal facilities, roads, and shared infrastructure. |
| Design Review Board | All development must receive Design Review Board (DRB) approval prior to construction. The DRB is independent of the QLDC consenting process and assesses compliance with the Jacks Point Residential Design Guidelines. |
| Building Bond | A building bond is required during construction to secure completion, DRB compliance, and repair of any damage to communal infrastructure. |
| Bylaws | The JPROA Residential Precinct Bylaws govern building standards, property maintenance, commercial activity restrictions, parking, and use of common property. |
| Visitor Accommodation | Short-term rental (visitor accommodation) is limited to 42 nights per year within the Jacks Point zone. |
The title carries a comprehensive framework of land covenants (Instruments 6128838.2, 6863718.3, 7017246.2, 8452097.3, 8452097.4, and 9835864.14) established during the Jacks Point subdivision. These covenants govern design standards, permitted activities, materials and finishes, landscaping requirements, and the community governance structure. Two court orders (12121255.1 and 12121255.2, May 2021) have extinguished certain covenants as they relate to Lots 27 and 94 DP 547946 (neighbouring lots), but the core covenant framework remains in place for the subject property.
Three consent notices (6863718.6, 8019179.3, and 9835864.1) are registered under Section 221 of the Resource Management Act 1991, with one variation (6990995.13). These impose ongoing conditions from the Jacks Point subdivision consent relating to the use and development of the lot, and form part of the regulatory framework alongside the QLDC District Plan provisions.
Encumbrance 9835864.15 in favour of Queenstown Lakes District Council relates to development contributions or infrastructure obligations established at subdivision. This is a standard instrument for the Jacks Point development.
The property is subject to the Hummocks Design Guidelines (originally approved under RM041269 in October 2005, current version approved September 2009 under RM090516). These guidelines specify external cladding materials (local stone, plaster render, timber weatherboards), roofing materials (slate and corrugated iron), and a predominant colour palette of grey through earth tones in harmony with the landscape. All dwellings must follow a unified gable-roofed form.
The site was purchased as a vacant section by Elie Raphael Mougel in October 2015. Resource consent RM160274 was granted in April 2016, followed by building consent BC160991 in August 2016 for a new dwelling with attached garage. An amendment consent (BC161710) was obtained in December 2016 for the addition of a residential lift and structural steel. Construction was completed and Code Compliance Certificates for both consents were issued on 29 March 2018.

The site occupies an elevated position within the Hummocks precinct of Jacks Point. The resource consent assessment (RM160274) confirmed that earthworks were assessed as feasible by the QLDC Environmental Engineer. The property was identified as having low liquefaction risk on the Council Hazards register, with an advice note placed on the resource consent.
| Earthquake Zone | Queenstown-Lakes region (Zone 4 classification per NZS 3604) |

The dwelling was assessed for H1 Energy Efficiency compliance at the design stage. The Building Performance Index (BPI) was calculated at 1.42 kWh/(m² · °C · month), comfortably below the 1.55 threshold. Key performance data includes total heat load of 26,942 kWh/year, solar gain of 17,203 kWh/year, and a gain load ratio of 81%. Wall R-values of 3.6 (constructed) exceed the minimum requirement of 1.5, and floor insulation achieves a custom R-value of 4.5 m²°C/W.
The property falls within Earthquake Zone 4, reflecting the broader seismic risk profile of the Queenstown-Lakes region. The Alpine Fault presents significant long-term seismic risk, with a 75% probability of rupture producing a magnitude 8+ event within the next 50 years. The dwelling has been designed and engineered to the seismic standards current at the time of construction.
| Flooding | No flood hazard registrations identified |
| Land Stability | No instability registrations. Elevated site with engineered foundations. |
| Contamination | Site was vacant grassland prior to construction. No known contamination. |
The property is zoned Resort Zone (Jacks Point) under the Queenstown Lakes District Plan (Chapter 41). This special zone provides for an integrated community of residential, visitor accommodation, commercial, and outdoor recreation activities. Key planning provisions include:
| Building Height | Maximum 8 metres in residential areas. The dwelling was assessed as compliant with the 8m height plane. |
| Activity Status | Construction of residential buildings is a controlled/restricted discretionary activity. Resource consent RM160274 addressed the garage orientation variance. |
| Design Controls | All development requires Design Review Board approval under the Jacks Point Residential Design Guidelines. DRB assessment is independent of, and in addition to, QLDC resource consent. |
| Design Guidelines | Hummocks Design Guidelines apply. External cladding limited to local stone, plaster render, and timber weatherboards. Roofing: slate and corrugated iron. Colours: grey through earth tones. |
| Visitor Accommodation | Short-term rental limited to 42 nights per year. |
| Landscaping | Native planting required from the prescribed Jacks Point plant list along all elevations. |
| Materials | All metal cladding, roofing, flues, windows and balustrades must have a matt finish. Predominant colours in grey through earth tones in harmony with the landscape. |
The property last sold for $2,700,000 in June 2020. The current council rating valuation (2024) is $2,180,000. Comparable sales on Falconer Rise and the wider Jacks Point area indicate a broad price range for four-bedroom homes, from approximately $1.5M to $2.6M depending on size, finish, and position.
Notable comparable properties include 54 Falconer Rise ($2,500,000, 2025), 31 Falconer Rise (estimated $2,600,000), and 19 Falconer Rise (estimated $2,540,000). The subject property's distinctive features, including the residential lift, sauna, wine cellar, solar panels, and three gas fireplaces, position it among the more comprehensively specified homes on the street.
The broader Queenstown market has seen renewed demand for premium properties, driven by the resurgence of the visitor market, international buyer interest following the introduction of the Active Investor Plus programme, and continuing lifestyle migration to the Queenstown-Lakes district. The RBNZ has reduced the OCR to 3.25%, with bank mortgage rates for 1 – 2 year fixed terms around 4.95% – 4.99% for borrowers below 80% LVR.
