A blank canvas with a spectacular outlook

Set within the sought-after 'The Rocks' development at Mount Barker, 43 Smith Road presents an exceptional opportunity to create your own slice of the Wanaka lifestyle. Spanning a generous 5,355sqm (approx), this beautifully positioned lifestyle section offers the space, privacy and freedom to bring your vision to life. From the sweeping driveway entrance, the property opens out to an expansive setting where the scale of the land and the surrounding landscape can truly be appreciated. With established plantings beginning to take shape, the foundations are already here for something special. But it is the outlook that will capture your attention. Looking across the surrounding farmland towards the dramatic mountain ranges, the setting delivers the quintessential Central Otago experience - wide-open skies, ever-changing light and an impressive alpine backdrop that provides a stunning canvas for your future home. The generous proportions of the property allow you to think beyond simply building a house. There is room for landscaped gardens, outdoor living and the space to create a lifestyle that feels relaxed, private and distinctly your own. And while the setting feels wonderfully removed from the everyday, you're still within easy reach of all that makes Wanaka such a desirable place to live - from its vibrant township and lakefront to the region's renowned outdoor recreation. 43 Smith Road is more than a section; it is an opportunity to build something exceptional in a truly remarkable setting. Come and experience the scale, the space and, most importantly, the view for yourself. Contact Woodrow Ross on 027 527 9690 or Scott McGoun on 021 201 9029 for more information or to view.

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

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.

Free. Takes about a minute.

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.
