Colliers has been appointed to sell 3 Roberts Street, Martinborough by Deadline Private Treaty closing May 27th 2026 at 2pm (unless sold prior).
3 Roberts Street, Martinborough provides a rare and highly compelling residential subdivision opportunity within the internationally recognised wine village.
The 3.39 hectare vineyard property has recently been re-zoned in the Proposed Wairarapa Combined District Plan from Rural to General Residential, subject to a Low-Density Residential Precinct (LDRP) overlay. This rezoning removes the principal planning barrier to development and positions the property as an attractive near-term residential subdivision opportunity.
An urban design scheme prepared by McIndoe Urban Ltd demonstrates that a subdivision of over 40 lots is feasible, achieving average lot sizes of around 500 m² while fully complying with District Plan requirements and reflecting Martinborough’s established residential character.
In December 2025, South Wairarapa District Council issued guidance confirming that resource consent applications for subdivision can now be submitted - with connections deferred until capacity becomes available (anticipated to be in 2027) - therefore resolving longstanding uncertainty around wastewater servicing and enabling a clear, deliverable development pathway.
