“I see this becoming a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Queenstown,” says Harcourts real estate agent Hamish Walker, who oversees sales for the Gibbston Valley developments.
A $ 750 million luxury development in Gibbston Valley near Queenstown has attracted the interest of high-profile buyers, former Prime Minister Sir John Key and cricket coach Brendon McCullum.
The project is located in the 40-acre Gibbston Valley Station, which is co-owned by Greg Hunt, CEO of Gibbston Valley Winery, Lodge and Spa, and Phil Griffiths.
The homes, which have yet to be built, will cost between $ 1.2 million and $ 4 million, and buyers can use the station as a “private playground, including access to a nine-hole golf course, a golf club, field and spa, wellness center “. , restaurant, gym and a town with craft shops, coffee shop and garden center, said Harcourts realtor Hamish Walker.
“Residents will be very close to the hustle and bustle of Queenstown, but feel like they are a world away with a short 20-minute drive to Queenstown International Airport,” said Walker.

There was already a lot of interest, mainly from buyers in Auckland and Australia, many of whom wanted to use it several times a year and rent the houses for the rest of the time, through the resort, Walker said.
Several units had already been sold and there had been interest from high-profile New Zealanders, who viewed the development as a safe getaway.

Greg Hunt, Gibbston Valley CEO of Central Otago Winery, stands in front of a newly constructed administration building in 2016. A much larger resort and golf course is now planned for Gibbston Valley Station.
Key said he bought it because it was good value for money.
“Gibbston Valley Winery has a very rich history and is about experiencing the best that Central Otago has to offer in a safe and relaxing environment,” he said.
Brendon McCullum said it was built because he loved Queenstown, golf, wine, and the highlands.
The first stage of development was a collection of 132 houses called Vines, directly across the street from Gibbston Winery.

A new luxury complex in Gibbston Valley, near Queenstown, offers investors some serious luxury and some first-time buyer perks.
Resource consent had been requested, but construction would not begin until 2022, when the ground works had been completed, Walker said.
First-time buyers would get exclusive benefits, including their own wine cave area where they could entertain family and friends, and a personalized wine label. The owners would also be treated as VIP guests at Gibbston Valley’s annual summer concert, he said.
The project has been planned for more than a decade, but on a smaller scale. Last year, the station was rezoned in order to obtain permission to build the golf course and resort, Walker said.
A retreat cabin was also planned in a smaller part of the station, which would contain 20 units. A showroom for the resort opens this week at Gibbston Valley Winery.
