Hingarae Residence and Resort - New Zealand |
Tuesday, 04 March 2008 |
Most of us have a personal image of an ideal escape or getaway. A secluded beach shack hidden on an island paradise - a tucked
away cabin built into a snowy mountainside - a private chateaux set on
the quiet, rolling hills of a vineyard - basically anywhere we feel
removed from the mundane normalcy of our own daily lives.
X.Pace, a Sydney/Singapore-based design studio is on the verge of
helping us redefine the ultimate lifestyle solution - the ultra
luxurious Hingarae residences and resort
located in Lake Taupo on New Zealand's north island. Hingarae embodies
everything one would expect from 6 star standards - the ideal balance
of extreme luxury, privacy and ultra-modern built form set upon a
pristine natural environment.
The development will offer twenty eight opportunities to own a
fully-furnished Hingarae Module. Each individual Module is 2,153 square
feet set carefully within 2.5 acres of natural landscape. Oversized
windows allow uninterrupted views to the surrounding forest, green
countryside, snow-capped mountains and crystal blue lake. The interior
design is equally rewarding offering an exceptional imported blend of
modern and futuristic furniture. The main living space sits on a
revolving disc floor that allows orientation toward the exterior or the
LCD screen.
Numerous additions to Hingarae Module ownership include an electric
car for all on-site traveling, personal use of Hingarae's premium
luxury 4WD vehicles for off-site travel, access to on-call helicopter,
on-going membership to Jack Nicklaus' Kinloch Golf Club, ongoing winter
season's pass to Mount Ruapehu's Whakapapa (New Zealand's largest ski
area), shared use of Hingarae's motor launch and unlimited access to
the 6 Star Hotel Hingarae and all its facilities including a recording
studio. Hingarae also fully manages and maintains each Module and its
individual acreage.
Nearly every aspect of a superior style of living has been taken into
consideration during the conception and development phases of
Hingarae. Unlike anything in the world, this New Zealand
destination will soon embody the ultimate expression of escape for
those of us able to get in - as prices start from US$1.9 million.
As for the rest of us, we can always hope for an invitation from a
generous friend. By Andrew J Wiener.
