Rare development site available in picturesque Cardrona

As the tourism boom in the Queenstown-Lakes District continues, a large-scale site in the township of Cardrona that is ready for a major development offers prospectors the opportunity to secure a prime landholding in one of New Zealand’s must-visit destinations.

2283 Cardrona Valley Road, Cardrona is an 8833 square metre site that could be developed in a range of different ways given its flexible Rural and Rural Visitor Zone designations.

A consent is in place via the current owners for a hot pools and wellness complex alongside 16 residential units that would serve as a perfect complement to the surrounding village that is awash with outdoor activities alongside one of New Zealand’s oldest pubs, the Cardrona Hotel.

Sitting between Queenstown and Wānaka, Cardrona is a year-round playground and features the largest ski field in the Southern Hemisphere, which is set to increase its terrain by almost 25% with the opening of Soho Basin, while the summer mountain bike trails are a favourite for visitors and locals.

With 95 metres of road frontage, the subject site enjoys significant exposure and is perfectly positioned for the new owner to create something special that will add to this world-renowned alpine resort.

Colliers Wānaka Director and Sales Consultant Craig Myles and Colliers Christchurch Investment Sales Broker Courtney Doig have been exclusively appointed to market the site for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Friday 3 May, unless sold prior.

Myles says, “With limited developed land available within this exciting, forward-thinking village in Cardrona, this is a section that will enable you to contribute to the future of this extraordinary area and create a lasting legacy.

“While there is an existing consent in place for the hot pools and wellness centre development, prospective purchasers may have another vision for the site that they wish to bring to life.”
