30 Rata Road, Makarora, Wanaka

For Sale by Deadline Private Treaty

3.81ha

A rare development opportunity Makarora

3.81 hectares, consented for 29 lots, in the heart of Makarora.

A rare opportunity to secure a substantial, predominantly flat landholding about an hour north of Wanaka, with resource consent for a 29-lot residential subdivision.

Develop 29 generous sections of around 1,000sqm, two to three times the size of typical new sections at Lake Hawea. Or secure a significant landholding and landbank it for the future. [There's also an existing cottage on site].

Much of the groundwork is done. Resource consent was granted in October 2024, Aurora has approved the power design, and the engineering design is well advanced.

As Wanaka and Lake Hawea continue to grow, buyers are looking further afield for space, lifestyle and long-term value. With Kingston and Glenorchy showing what's possible, Makarora is well placed to benefit.

The village has a relaxed community feel, with a primary school, cafe, accommodation and tourism businesses close by. Mount Aspiring National Park is right on your doorstep: mountains, rivers, lakes and walking tracks.

For developers, investors, landbankers and buyers wanting space and freedom in a spectacular setting, opportunities of this scale are rare. The next chapter of Makarora is only just beginning.

A detailed information memorandum is available to qualified buyers on signing a confidentiality agreement.

Contact Woodrow Ross on 027 527 9690 or Todd Soper on 027 487 6737 to find out more or arrange a viewing. Deadline Private Treaty (unless sold prior) closes 1pm, Wed 20 Jan 2027, 62 Ardmore Street, Wanaka.
