There's something special about arriving in Cardrona. The air feels sharper, the pace slows down, and the mountains instantly remind you why people hold onto property here for generations.

Now fully renovated and beautifully landscaped, 2206 Cardrona Valley Road offers the kind of alpine lifestyle most buyers spend years searching for. Whether it's powder mornings in winter, long summers exploring the high country, or weekends escaping the city, this architecturally redesigned home delivers a true mountain base designed to be enjoyed year-round.

Set on over two acres (8,622sqm approx.), the striking 388sqm (approx.) residence combines modern comfort with timeless alpine design. Created by Condon Scott Architects, the home feels both refined and relaxed, with spaces designed for gathering, entertaining, and unwinding after a day outdoors.

At the centre of it all is the grand entertaining hall - the kind of space made for long dinners, apres-ski evenings with friends, milestone celebrations, and summer BBQs that roll late into the evening. The main residence features three generous bedrooms plus an office, offering flexibility for families, professionals, or those working remotely between adventures.

Adding another layer of appeal is the fully self-contained two-bedroom guest wing, finished to the same high standard as the main home. Whether used for extended family, visiting friends, luxury accommodation income, or giving teenagers and guests their own space, it opens the door to a range of lifestyle and investment possibilities.

Picture winter mornings heading up the mountain before the crowds arrive, then soaking in the hot tub as snow settles across the valley below. In summer, swap skis for bikes, hiking boots, horse treks, or long lunches in the sun. This is the kind of property that becomes part of family traditions for years to come.

For buyers considering a premium holiday retreat, the property also offers strong income potential, with a luxury rental appraisal indicating premium nightly returns of $1,100 - $1,500+.

With every detail now complete, this is a rare opportunity to secure a polished, future-proofed home in one of Central Otago's most tightly held alpine locations. Wānaka is within easy reach, Queenstown Airport is approximately 45 minutes away, and the slopes are sitting right on your doorstep.

Secure your position now and be ready for the ski season ahead.
