"Set on a 36,000-acre high-country sheep station beneath the Southern Alps, this four-bedroom homestead combines minimalist, landscape-inspired design—limestone floors, native-wood tables, sheepskins—with a food program focused on local ingredients (from Périgord black truffles foraged in Canterbury to fresh-caught hapuku from Rakiura). Its real draw is access to remote adventures: guides can take guests snowboarding at Broken River and Craigieburn or fly-fishing in Winding Stream, making it a gateway to secluded New Zealand terrain." - Jennifer Flowers
