What's around 117 Ben Ohau Road

THE DEAL

Set high above one of New Zealand’s most iconic cinematic landscapes, this extraordinary lifestyle property spans more than 2.6 hectares of elevated land, delivering truly breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views. Overlooking the legendary Pelennor Fields from The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, the setting is nothing short of remarkable. Vast alpine peaks, sweeping plains, and ever-changing skies stretch in every direction, with uninterrupted vistas reaching up to 100 kilometres. Located just 10 minutes from Twizel, the property offers the rare balance of accessibility and complete privacy. Secure gated entry leads into a thoughtfully developed landscape, where thousands of established trees and plantings create a natural sense of seclusion. An approved building platform of approximately 830m² provides the ideal foundation for an exceptional future residence. With essential services in place, the new owner can focus on bringing their architectural vision to life. A purpose-built shed provides an immediate base on the property, allowing you to comfortably enjoy the land while overseeing the construction of your future home. The property is already rich with lifestyle features designed to embrace the surrounding environment. A large greenhouse, outdoor cabin, generous woodshed, and hot tub are perfectly positioned throughout the landscape, while an orchard and established pathways add both beauty and functionality. As day fades to night, the property reveals another extraordinary dimension. Positioned within the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, the skies above deliver some of the clearest and most spectacular stargazing anywhere in the world. Standing proudly within the landscape is “The Peace Ring” — a striking three-metre-tall sculptural structure crafted using complex compound curves, representing a remarkable feat of engineering. Thoughtfully positioned, it frames the surrounding landscape and gazes out across one of the country’s most celebrated film locations. Enjoy the best of the Mackenzie Basin from Ben Ohau, just minutes from Twizel and close to the stunning lakes Pukaki, Ōhau, Ruataniwha and Benmore, with the resort towns of Queenstown and Wānaka within easy driving distance.
