Manuka Point Station

At the headwaters of the mighty Rakaia River stands Manuka Point Station, 1271 hectares (3142 acres) of freehold farmland shaped like the prow of a huge ship, facing the rising sun every day. Sprawling green river flats that boundary approximately 21km of NZ's richest salmon fishing river, roll up onto stunningly contoured but very accessible tussock grasslands with stands of beautiful honey laden native Manuka that also provides shelter for large wild game animals. Above the freehold and up into the snowy mountain peaks of the Southern Alps, the owner of Manuka Point controls a further massive 11,138 hectares (27,522 acres) under a leasehold tourism concession.

Internationally acclaimed as one of New Zealand's foremost hunting, salmon fishing, and recreational estates, opportunities here for hiking, heli skiing, hunting, wildlife and wilderness photography, ecological restoration, and all manner of adventure are endless or you may simply choose to rest and recharge amongst the immense power of wild nature.

Just two hours drive from Christchurch International Airport by 4WD vehicle, the new owner can also choose to fly in by fixed wing plane and land on any one of the three airstrips across the station, or by helicopter landing directly outside the lodge.

Manuka Point Lodge is a warm luxurious sanctuary designed by architect Robin White and constructed in 2008. The high stud entrance leads into a spacious living room with a stone fire place, a welcoming bar, and a separate den, all enhanced by quality furnishings, native rimu timber joinery, cedar cladding, geothermal underfloor heating, and a ducted heat transfer system. The adjoining dining room and designer kitchen complete with a butler's pantry form an impressive entertaining area with stunning views. Each of the five suites opens onto private terraces, offering breathtaking vistas and luxurious comfort.

In addition, the property includes a traditional style homestead, a two bedroom cottage, and a workshop.

The opportunity exists to expand the offering at Manuka Point via additional accommodation close to the lodge or more isolated 'off grid' pods located across the freehold and possibly a dedicated group space for retreat and education styled group experiences.

The combination of pure isolation, world class wilderness, and diverse recreational opportunities alongside luxurious accommodations make Manuka Point Station a truly unique property. The Patterson family is offering this extraordinary high country station for genuine sale, presenting a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Zealand's natural heritage.
