What is Mt Cardrona Station?

Mt Cardrona Station is an alpine village set within a 400-hectare high country station in the Cardrona Valley. We consider Mt Cardrona Station to be the first of its kind in New Zealand, as there is nowhere else you will find residential living, visitor accommodation and village amenities in a high country alpine setting such as this.

Can I build my own home?

A selection of neighbourhoods will be sold as land only and can be built upon by owners in accordance with the Mt Cardrona Station Design Guidelines, Council Zone Rules and to be approved by the Mt Cardrona Station Design Review Board. In addition, some lots will be sold as “house and land” packages.

Can my property be maintained?

Yes. Mt Cardrona Station Resort Limited can help coordinate access for approved suppliers for home maintenance services and provide them access to your property when you can’t (terms and conditions apply).

About Mt Cardrona Station

You’ll find Mt Cardrona Station on Cardrona Valley Road next door to Cardrona Alpine Resort. Mt Cardrona Station is a 20-minute drive from central Wanaka or a 45-minute drive from Queenstown.

The Cardrona Valley has been shaped by gold mining, farming and, in more recent years, snow sports, hiking and biking. The station’s design guidelines are shaped by these influences. The historical precedents of early miners’ cottages and simple farmhouses inform design standards, where built forms and materials avoid an urban appearance. Alongside this, the design guidelines also provide for a village of architecturally designed and unashamedly contemporary buildings.

Yes, the public will have access to the roads and some of the open spaces and walkways, however, parts of the station are for residents’ use only. The public will be welcome to visit the restaurant (once it is built) and other services within the village such as The Adventure Centre. Other parts of the network of biking and hiking trails may be made available to the public, although charges may apply for public use.

Yes, the village is designed with generously proportioned streetscapes and connections between open spaces and neighbourhood parking.

Mt Cardrona Station is within a Queenstown Lakes District Council Special Zone with different zone rules applying to each neighbourhood. Details of these rules are provided in the Mt Cardrona Station Neighbourhood Packs and the Design Guidelines. Information can also be found on QLDC’s Operative District Plan.

Mt Cardrona Station will be supplied with water from a private water scheme to meet NZ water standards. This private scheme may be transferred to the QLDC in the future.

The Owners Association manages the delivery of certain services and amenities to properties within Mt Cardrona Station as outlined in the Constitution and Bylaws. All property owners at Mt Cardrona Station must become members of the Owners Association. The Owners Association is a not-for-profit entity, with activities governed by its constitution, and the budget is set annually by a committee comprised of its members.

Mt Cardrona Station will be progressively developed and is expected to be constructed over the next decade. Stage 1 will include three releases expected to be sold over the next three years (subject to market demand and timing). For more information, please see the Development Roadmap section of our brochure, which you can download from our website.

The first stage of The Adventure Centre is to be completed six months after release 1 of Stage 1 (anticipated to be October 2022). The first stage includes the gym and workout space, three hot pools and The Club Room. Six months after release 2 of Stage 1 titles (anticipated in 2023 - subject to market conditions and demand), The Homestead will be completed, with a restaurant, shared workspaces and meeting rooms. During this time, a swimming pool will be added to The Adventure Centre, and a tennis court and children’s playground will also be constructed on the station.
