A substantial north-facing landholding on the shores of Lake Hāwea, which offers unrivalled mountain views as well as privacy and accessibility, presents buyers with a once-in-a-lifetime purchasing opportunity.
Lot 1 Lake Hāwea spans approximately 5.5ha and is a peerless offering that benefits from a rare Rural Residential zoning and provides a consented 1,000sq m building platform that includes an 8m height restriction, allowing substantial flexibility for any future developments.
Lake Hāwea is the freshwater jewel in the crown of the Queenstown Lakes District, which encompasses Queenstown, Wānaka, Hāwea and Arrowtown. The wider area is globally renowned for its recreational pursuits, cuisine, wineries, and unparalleled natural landscapes.
The property is less than 20 minutes from Wānaka and approximately 75 minutes from Queenstown and all that one of New Zealand’s most exciting adventure locations has to offer.

The property is currently used for grazing by the adjacent high country station and is enlivened by harmonious melodies of vibrant birdlife, while the beach and excellent walking and cycling tracks are key features.
Colliers Sales Consultants Craig Myles and Roger Ellis have been exclusively appointed to market the site for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Friday 17 November, unless sold prior.
With the unique zoning in place there is scope for the new owner to create a stunning lifestyle property befitting the splendour of this idyllic location.
Myles, Director at Colliers W?naka, says Lake Hāwea is one of the most visually appealing spots in New Zealand that showcases ever-changing views unlike anywhere else across the country.
“This is one of the most impressive landholdings we have presented to the market, and it will certainly generate strong interest among prospective buyers given the combination of its sought-after location and favourable zoning,” Myles says.
“It is hard to overstate how rare it is to find an opportunity such as this one to acquire a site on the shores of Lake Hāwea and it is not hyperbole to suggest this is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime listing.
“The new owner will have the chance to create a special development that will be private and exclusive yet only 10 minutes from the local village.”
House price growth in the Queenstown Lakes District continues to grow rapidly, indicating how valuable this landholding will be on the open market.
Data from Infometrics notes annual house price growth in the area rose 1.9 per cent in the year to June 2023, while prices dropped across the country.
Myles says the new owners will no doubt choose to develop the site to take full advantage of the surrounding area and abundance of space for outdoor activities.
“The renowned Gladstone cycleway and walking track runs along the shores of Lake Hāwea and leads all the way to Johns Creek, providing a perfect location for a walk or bike ride, while taking in the mountain views.
“Wānaka is readily accessible and boasts world-class restaurants, retail, and hospitality options that complement a vibrant set of shops that have something for everyone.
“When examining the sheer beauty of the location and the rarity of this landholding, this is a purchasing opportunity that is unlikely to be repeated.”
