Construction of The Arrowtown Lifestyle Village townhouses is underway with the first planned for completion by the end of the year. QT Magazine spoke to sales manager Vicci Lawrence about the new concept.

How would you describe the Altus Townhouses?

The townhouses are our latest independent living option at the Arrowtown Lifestyle Village. We’ve planned eight buildings that include four townhouses – two up and two down. Each townhouse has been designed on a single level for ease of living with its own private entrance and internal access garage which is in contrast to apartment style accommodation.

The layout of the townhouse precinct ensures a light, open and sunny atmosphere with careful positioning to maximise sun and views for all residences. 

What is the difference between the ground floor and first floor townhouses? 

The ground floor residences feature two bedrooms and open onto a beautifully landscaped terraced garden with an outdoor fireplace and dining area. The top floor residences are larger and have three bedrooms with stunning views towards Brow Peak and Coronet Peak from a spacious balcony off the lounge.

How do residents access the top floor townhouses?
 Each three-bedroom top floor townhouse comes with its own private elevator and stair access.

Are garages included?
Generally every townhouse comes with its own single car garage but we do have plans for a limited number of double garages. We are also taking expressions of interest for additional covered parking options.

Why the name Altus Townhouses?
Altus comes from the Latin word for ‘elevated above the usual’ which perfectly captures the essence of this development. The name is also a nod to earlier use of the land by one of the village’s directors, Roger Monk, who used the site as a rural airstrip for his Cessna aircraft. While the windsock and hangar have been relocated the spirit of adventure and elevation remains at the heart of Altus.

When will the first townhouses be ready?
The first townhouses are being built with a view to being ready for occupation by the end of 2025. We are currently taking expressions of interest, allowing buyers to secure their preferred residence now and collaborate on interior design options throughout the project.
