Premium lakefront Wānaka section for sale

A sizeable lakefront site in Wānaka offers buyers the opportunity to secure an incredibly unique landholding in one of New Zealand’s most sought-after locations.

Looking out over Lake Wānaka through to Treble Cone and Black Peak, the 2,581sqm gently sloping site with a stone wall surround at 335 Beacon Point Road provides a blank canvas for prospective purchasers to plan the project of their dreams.

The location provides direct access to the water, while sitting only 3.6km away from central Wānaka.

Colliers Otago Director and premium residential Sales Consultant Craig Myles has been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale and the deadline for offers closes at 4pm on Friday 30 September 2022 unless sold prior.

Myles says this section is one of the most desirable sites that will be presented to the market in Wānaka this year.

“Lakefront sites are incredibly appealing properties and are highly sought-after among buyers given the scarcity of them. Sites of this nature are rarely available,” Myles says.

“The subject property offers flexibility for the new owner to create a development that will be a key part of the lakefront.

“Access to the water from the property is unrivalled, while the views are second to none. This location is the ultimate expression of the Wānaka lifestyle. The section is also highly accessible with easy connectivity to the nearby road network.”

Wānaka has experienced significant growth in recent years with pre-pandemic population numbers booming with annual increases of between 7.2 and 9.5 per cent per from 2015-2018, according to data from Infometrics.

Even as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold, the Wānaka and surrounds population grew 7.4 per cent in 2020 and 1.8 per cent in 2021.

That population growth has flowed through to business confidence with steady growth in the number of business units in Wānaka and surrounds. There was a 3.8 per cent increase in business units in 2021, according to Infometrics.

Myles says Wānaka presents people with the ideal landing spot to change their lifestyle.

“Covid-19 has forced a rethink for people about how they work and remote working options have become more popular. This has led to New Zealanders contemplating a move to regional locations as they look to escape the hustle and bustle of major cities.

“Alternatively, this property offers an outstanding spot to build a holiday-focused development for people to make the most of the idyllic location and the surrounding scenery that is on offer in Wānaka.”

Myles says the loosening of border restrictions will have a positive impact on Wānaka with an increase in visitor numbers likely, while business confidence in the area is also strong.

“Several large projects are set to commence construction in Wānaka that will further support the local economy, including multiple retirement villages, a hotel, and the highly anticipated film studio.

“These projects underpin the ongoing investment in the area that has continued to grow in popularity in recent years.”

Myles says given the location and potential attached to this site there will be strong interest in the market.

“I encourage all interested parties to contact me immediately, so they don’t miss out on this golden opportunity to secure a lakefront section in one of the country’s most stunning locations.”
