Set in the wide, open beauty of Ardgour Valley, this 8.015 ha (more or less) property offers an increasingly rare combination of privacy, productivity and postcard-worthy scenery. The land unfolds gently across lower and upper terraces, each paddock framed by established shelter and specimen trees, rabbit-proof fencing and long rural views that shift with the light. Reliable water is supplied via the Ruffell Road scheme, complemented by your own bore, supporting grazing, planting or future horticultural ideas. The loess soil (wind-blown silt) has been spray-free for a minimum of five years, and its free-draining qualities lend themselves well to a variety of cropping options. Two troughs (one plumbed) and timed irrigation on all young trees make the establishment of shelter and privacy significantly easier. The elevated upper terrace is a standout - a natural vantage point with sweeping views across the valley, rolling hills and distant ranges, and an ideal place to position your future dream home among the emerging fruit and nut orchard. In the meantime, the tool shed and carport provide practical storage for machinery, equipment and lifestyle essentials while you plan the next phase of development. Below, pockets of mature trees, sheltered hollows and open pasture create a peaceful, highly usable landscape. The existing building began life as the old Police Constable’s house on Helwick Street in Wānaka. Featuring Rimu floors and traditional weatherboard cladding, it offers character and potential - the kind of project that may reward someone looking to restore, repurpose or simply enjoy a humble rural base while the broader property vision takes shape. Located within the Central Otago District Council boundary, the land enjoys easy access to Tarras village with its boutique stores and emerging wine and lifestyle scene. With Wānaka and Cromwell both within comfortable driving distance, the Ardgour Valley provides a compelling lifestyle base in a region celebrated for its quality produce, vineyards and big-sky scenery. Whether you’re seeking a productive landholding, a private retreat, or the freedom to shape a long-term lifestyle for generations to come, this property delivers the scale, setting and natural beauty to make it possible. Our sellers have cherished their time in this peaceful corner of Ardgour Valley and had every intention of bringing their long-term vision to life.
