Avalon Station, Cardrona

Avalon Station is a 1,347 hectare property providing an excellent high country lifestyle in a resort location. Subdivided off the original Wanaka Station in the early 1900s, this freehold farm is located in the beautiful Cardrona Valley, just 10 km from the Wanaka township and a similar distance to the historic Cardrona township. Significant improvements have been made to the farming infrastructure in recent years, the highlight being a large investment in utilising valuable water rights with the installation of pivot irrigation. Further enhancements with paddock subdivision and opening up more grazing provides for a wintered stock capacity of up to 4,500 stock units. Avalon Station is bordered by the Cardrona River to the western boundary and the 23,000 hectare Pisa Conservation Area to the top (Eastern boundary). With an excellent track network, the mid and high country are easily accessible and provide an array of recreational attributes from hunting to horse riding on the station. The upper reaches of the property provide extraordinary views out to Lake Wanaka and Mt Aspiring and future owners may well consider a network of back country huts to take advantage of this. For skiers and boarder's, Cardrona Ski Field, and the Snow Farm are approximately 10 km drive away along with Mt Cardrona Station, a master planned village, visitor accommodation and residential neighbourhood that is currently under construction. With so much on offer in the immediate area and positioned between the resort towns of Queenstown and Wanaka, this property will be hotly contested. ...
