01 The Branches Road - The Old Rams Paddock, Skippers Canyon, Queenstown Lakes, Otago Dramatic in Skippers Canyon

Colliers is delighted to exclusively offer this exceptional 7 hectare bareland section located within Skippers Canyon - an historic and scenic gorge some 22 kilometres in length just north of Queenstown.

Accessed by the same road that leads to the Coronet Ski Field, Skippers Canyon is carved out by the world renowned Shotover River - once referred to as "the richest river in the world" during the heady gold rush days. The infamous road leading into the canyon clings to the side of the gorge where, in places, it theatrically drops vertically to the Shotover River. One of the most outstanding of New Zealand's surviving nineteenth century roads and built in four stages from 1883 to 1890.

Dwarfed by incredible mountain ranges, this 7.254 hectare section is located just past the historic Skippers School and is dramatic in its position above the Shotover River. Unserviced, so ideal for off-grid styled infrastructure should you wish to build. And yes, there is a perfect flattish site that would make the ideal location to establish a building platform.

Steeped in so much history, this is an ideal spot to spend time watching those adventurers who seek thrills down the river or listen to the ever-present birdsong. Also home to some of the most exciting mountain biking trails in New Zealand, built for flowing riding with the bonus of incredible mountain scenery.

Seldom (if ever) available, this is a truly unique bolthole and one which suits those seeking something that has both adventure and quietude attributes. This freehold parcel of land offers you the most unique of opportunities.
