Hills Creek and Styx Station

Hills Creek Station and Styx Station together represent a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale pastoral enterprise in the heart of Central Otago. Spanning a combined 10,080 hectares (more or less) these two complementary properties offer scale, diversity, and a strong foundation for continued growth - making them ideally suited to a wide range of buyers, from investors to family farming operations and equity partnerships.

Located within close proximity to each other and key service towns such as Ranfurly, Patearoa, and Alexandra, the stations are well-positioned to operate in unison. The land offers a diverse mix of contour - from fertile flats and gently rolling paddocks to medium and extensive hill country - supporting a flexible and efficient farming system for breeding, finishing, and cropping.

Styx Station (6,304 hectares) features 4,264-hectare home block containing the productive cropping land and medium hill country, complemented by a 2,040-hectare hill block. It winters an average of 17,347 stock units (five year average including budgeted 2026), including a Halfbred ewe flock transitioning to finer Quarterbreds, and approximately 600 Angus-based cows and heifers calving as two-year-olds. The station produces substantial supplementary feed annually, including 1,500 tonnes of silage and 500 bales of baleage, supporting high per-head performance.

Hills Creek Station (3,776 hectares) comprises of approximately 2,500 hectares of flat to gently rolling paddocks, with the balance in medium hill country. 19,230 stock units (five year average including budgeted 2026), including 9,000 ewes, replacement hoggets, 5,000 contract lambs, and 321 mixed-age cows with R1-R2 cattle. An additional 1,000 cattle are grazed through partnerships with Alliance and Styx Station.

Both properties are undergoing targeted development programmes focused on pasture renewal, lucerne establishment, and water infrastructure upgrades - including a new livestock water scheme at Hills Creek with reliable water sources from the Taieri River and Deep Creek at Styx. These initiatives are designed to enhance productivity, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

Extensive infrastructure across both stations includes multiple homes, woolsheds (ranging from three- to six-stand), sheep and cattle yards, implement sheds, and staff accommodation - providing a turnkey solution for immediate operation or further development.

This is a compelling opportunity to secure a significant landholding in a proven and tightly held farming region, with the scale, infrastructure, and performance to support a range of investment strategies - from family succession planning to corporate expansion or offshore investment.
