Three individual lots in an exclusive subdivision in the scenic Cardrona Valley are available for purchase offering buyers the chance to acquire a landholding with panoramic alpine views in this sought-after South Island location.
Sitting at 1940 Cardrona Valley Road, the lots range in size from 0.85ha to 1.65ha and each have a proposed building platform of approximately 800sq m that is thoughtfully positioned to maximise sunlight and privacy.
Part of Branch Creek Station, this land has been in the ownership of the Anderson family for four generations, with the fifth generation coming through, and is steeped in history with remnants of mining infrastructure visible around the wider property in a nod to the area’s goldmining heritage.
The lots are only a few minutes from the world-famous Cardrona Hotel while the popular tourist town of Wānaka is approximately 20 minutes away. Queenstown and its renowned natural landscapes and adventure tourism activities can be reached in 45 minutes and offers access to an international airport.

Each site provides individual gated access and full servicing, including water and power. As part of the overall consent process, tailored landscaping will be completed for each lot, enhancing the natural beauty.
Colliers Brokers Ruth Hodges and Roger Ellis have been exclusively appointed to market the lots for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Thursday 11 December, unless sold prior.
Specific measurements are subject to survey, but as it stands, Lot 1 measures 0.85ha with Lot 2 spanning 1.56ha, while Lot 3 is 1.65ha. Lot 1 is perfectly placed to accommodate the creation of a bespoke home with ample space to play, while the larger lots could be utilised for similar or a more substantial development.
Hodges, Director of Colliers Rural & Agribusiness in Otago and Southland, says this is a premium offering and buyers will not find a comparable site with such scale in the surrounding area.
“Unlike more compact offerings in the region, these parcels provide the freedom to design without compromise, whether you're dreaming of a legacy home, alpine retreat, or lifestyle sanctuary,” Hodges says.
“Having the opportunity to acquire a freehold parcel of land in this part of the South Island is incredibly rare and will draw national and international attention from prospective purchasers.”
The location of the lots offers future occupants the chance to escape to their own tranquil oasis that is sheltered by trees and experiences a unique microclimate.
Ellis, Sales Consultant at Colliers Wānaka, says these land parcels have an enticing blend of being secluded in a scenic rural spot while also offering accessibility to fine dining and high-quality retail services via a short drive.
“These sites are set up perfectly to house a private retreat that can be custom built to fit the requirements of buyers. It is only about 15 minutes to the top of both the Cardrona Alpine Resort and Snow Farm cross-country ski field,” Ellis says.
“There is a collection of other exciting activities in the area to explore, including hiking, sightseeing, mountain biking, and horse trekking. The award-winning Cardrona Distillery that produces spirits from local ingredients and the landmark Cardrona Hotel are only a few minutes away.
“Having the chance to purchase a site of this size in this part of the country is incredibly rare and is something that warrants serious consideration from buyers seeking a premium lifestyle offering.”
