Waihopai Downs, a genuine opportunity to acquire a high-country station with rich pastoral heritage and outstanding recreational appeal.
The property is well recognised as one of Marlborough's traditional high country runs, currently running Merino sheep and Hereford cattle across its hill country. Natural boundaries are defined by the pristine Spray River and adjoining Department of Conservation land, offering both seclusion and scale.
For generations, Waihopai Downs has been a true working station, with excellent infrastructure in place to support farming operations. The property features a traditional homestead, complemented by separate staff accommodation and shearers’ quarters and large woolshed. Multiple backcountry huts provide essential shelter for mustering teams and also open the door for recreational hunting or tourism ventures.
Wild game is in abundance, with red and fallow deer, pigs, and goats populating the hills. An excellent network of farm tracks provides reliable access across the station, whether for day-to-day operations, hunting expeditions, or simply exploring the breathtaking Marlborough high country.
Waihopai Downs is more than a farm – it’s a landmark property offering scale, history, and endless potential yet all only 50 minutes from Blenheim. Whether continuing as a traditional livestock enterprise or harnessing its unrivalled recreational attributes, this is a special chance to secure one of Marlborough’s significant high-country holdings.
