Bendigo Station, Central Otago

Situated in the vast Bendigo basin on the sunny shores of Lake Dunstan and surrounded by the mountainous tranquility and grandeur of the Southern Alps, lies the well renowned Bendigo Station.

Located in the Golden Triangle of Queenstown, Wanaka and Cromwell, Bendigo Station represents a truly iconic status in world standards. Comprising a total freehold land area of 10,628ha, this unique opportunity offers many mid-to-long term aspects of ownership.

Available for the first time is a selection of lakefront development blocks embedded in the district plan comprising an area of approximately 1200ha for residential sections and lifestyle blocks.

Owned and farmed by the Perriam family since 1979, Bendigo Station is steeped in history and in the late 1860?s was the scene of New Zealand?s richest quartz reef gold strike. Traditionally a fine wool Merino property, it underwent a change that paved the way for a new era of multiple use development, such as the production of wine, as well as the preservation of historic areas and conservation.

Today, Bendigo Station proudly claims to be a leading Pinot Wine producer in Central Otago and still produces some of the world?s finest and most valuable Merino fibre, with successful international partnerships established for both products.

Currently running 18,000 stock units with 80% being Merino sheep and the remainder Hereford x Angus cattle, it has a total of 600ha currently under irrigation. Since the mid 1950's the pastoral entity and tussock land has been developed into one of New Zealand?s leading producers of super fine Merino wool.

Bendigo Station offers a multitude of different lifestyle options, with a mix of pastoral, viticulture, conservation and recreational interests, as well as awe inspiring views, resulting in a unique investment opportunity located only 20 minutes from Cromwell.
