Every aspect of Mt Cardrona Station is influenced by the extraordinary landscapes of the Cardrona Valley. Drawing on this dramatic setting, the station is set to deliver rural-residential living with a distinct character and strong sense of community. Well-considered master-planning provides a range of options for permanent residential and holiday accommodation and easy access to adventures.
With plans to develop 400 lots over the next ten years, the development builds on the trailblazing tradition of the region. The Cardrona Valley has fostered a pioneering spirit for centuries, from early Māori who came through the valley searching for ‘liquid gold’ perfume oil to the 1,000 gold rush miners who made a temporary home here in the 1880s.
