Description
Set in the heart of spectacular Mackenzie Country.
Approximately 10 minutes drive from Twizel; an hour 40 to the main towns of Wanaka and Oamaru; and an hour 20 to Cromwell. Lake Ohau just down the road; Lake Ruataniwha near Twizel; and Lakes Benmore; Aviemore; Pukaki; and Tekapo not far away. Just under an hour drive to the prized Mount Cook Village. Nestled in the International Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve.
This 2.2-hectare (approx. 5 acre) lifestyle block on Manuka Terrace offers space, privacy, and breathtaking northern views across the magnificent high country landscape.
An elevated terrace provides an exceptional building platform — the perfect site to design a home that captures endless sun and panoramic vistas stretching across the Mackenzie basin. Whether you’re envisioning a permanent residence or a peaceful getaway, the outlook alone is worth the visit.
The land features a thoughtful mix of established pine trees and generous clearings, creating natural shelter alongside usable grazing areas. With stock water available (trough, and to cabin) the property is well set up for horses or add a couple of paddocks for stock.
A basic cabin on site offers immediate utility while you holiday, plan, or build. With the added convenience of two separate entrances to the property — one from the flat and another providing direct access to the elevated rear terrace — flexibility and ease of access are assured. Power lines near boundary make for a relatively straight forward connection if you wish.
Opportunities of this scale, with views of this calibre, are increasingly valuable. Secure your slice of New Zealand High Country and create something truly special.
