Peak Valley Station is a remote high-country property of 4,229 hectares and borders Lake Benmore, one of New Zealand's most desirable recreational areas, set within the stunning mountainous landscapes of the Twizel and Tekapo regions. It is pure, 100% high-country New Zealand.
The true value of this property lies in its exceptional recreational potential. The 27 kilometres of waterfront, with pure clear water lapping the shores of numerous bays and coves, tracks suitable for horse trekking or mountain biking and an abundance of wild game are just a few of the tourism possibilities that could place this destination on the world map.
If fishing is your passion, you are in the right location. High-quality rainbow and brown trout, along with salmon, are plentiful and can be fished year-round under an open licence, either from a boat or from the land.
Alternatively, if you prefer to soak up the pure joy of isolation and the breathtaking beauty of the mountain and water views, you may choose to keep this special place for yourself and your family, or syndicate it with friends. There are copious amounts of space for everyone to enjoy and call their own.
The station runs Merino sheep and a mix of Angus and Hereford cross cattle, all of which thrive in this landscape. The Merino lambs produce 15-micron fibre and the cattle are sold at the Omarama yards, where they are renowned for achieving excellent prices.
There is an irrigation right for 25 hectares of land, a large four-stand raised-board shearing shed and covered yards capable of holding approximately 800 woollies and powered by a diesel generator.
The Peak Valley homestead is a masterpiece of design, blending seamlessly into the natural beauty that surrounds it. Built in 2014, it embraces eco-friendly principles and was designed with hosting guests in mind. It features two distinct accommodation wings connected by a very large open-plan living space with uninterrupted views of the lake and mountains. A hydro power plant supplies energy to the homestead.
The original home is set back on a rise some distance from the main homestead and enjoys expansive views of the lake and mountains. This older building is full of character and charm and is used as a base for horse trekking groups or holiday makers. Numerous small huts are scattered across the landscape, each with its own special ambience.
Peak Valley Station is an Otago University pastoral lease property. Pastoral leases are synonymous with South Island high-country stations and come with specific farming practice requirements. The Bayleys team is well versed in pastoral leases and is available to guide you through the process.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
