A rare 4.4ha (more or less) landholding in the heart of the Wakatipu Basin, Barn Hill is a property where history, landscape and lifestyle remain deeply connected. Positioned in an elevated setting between Arrowtown and Lake Hayes, the estate commands sweeping views across the basin toward Coronet Peak and the surrounding alpine ranges.
Featuring an extraordinary schist stone loft — a simple yet enduring structure believed to date back to the 1930s, quietly reflecting more than a century of the basin’s rural history. Once used to store grain during the property’s working farm years, the loft remains a remarkable reminder of the land’s agricultural beginnings and a defining feature of this one of a kind holding.
Originally surveyed in 1865, Barn Hill forms part of the Wakatipu Basin’s earliest farming landscape, evolving from historic goldfields into productive farmland. Held by just two families since the early twentieth century, the property has been carefully stewarded for generations, retaining an authenticity and sense of permanence that is increasingly difficult to find.
Expansive open land, mature trees, an established building platform and uninterrupted mountain outlooks create an exceptional lifestyle setting, while the location places you moments from Arrowtown, Millbrook Resort, Ayrburn, Lake Hayes and the region’s renowned walking and cycling trail network.
Private, picturesque and rich in provenance, Barn Hill presents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to secure a landmark basin property with genuine heritage at its core.
