Unlock the potential of Kinloch Estate, a landmark 2.01ha (more or less) commercial holding in the heart of Omarama. This is an outstanding opportunity for a lifestyle luxury home or holiday home buyer. Benefiting from sought-after Business 6 zoning, the property also presents an outstanding prospect to develop boutique accommodation, luxury lodges, cabins or a premium tourism venture (subject to any required consents).
Ideally positioned within one of the South Island's fastest-growing tourism destinations on the tourist route between Christchurch and Queenstown, the property neighbours the Omarama airfield which is the home of gliding in New Zealand. The Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail runs past the boundary and it is close to Omarama Hot Tubs, lakes Benmore and Ohau, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, Ohau Ski Field and the Waitaki Valley, placing it at the centre of a thriving year-round visitor market.
The striking 378sqm (approximately) residence is constructed from schist, cedar and native rimu. Featuring four bedrooms including master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, an office, spacious living areas, covered outdoor entertaining area, underfloor heating, built in vacuum, linen room, laundry, integrated triple garaging, and an outdoor spa. As well as being a substantial home for a discerning buyer, it is perfectly suited as a luxury guest lodge, manager's residence or premium Airbnb style accommodation.
The established grounds include landscaped gardens, post-and-rail paddocks, a tree-lined entrance, separate workshop, private bore and town water connection, providing an excellent platform for future development.
Commercial opportunities of this scale, with established infrastructure, favourable zoning and a prime tourism location, are increasingly rare. Kinloch Estate is an exceptional opportunity to secure a significant landholding with outstanding development potential in New Zealand's iconic tourism region.
