Scurr Heights Land to be Sold

Scurr Heights Land to be Sold

An attractive block of subdivisible land within Wanaka is about to go on the market for residential development.

Queenstown Lakes District Council has resolved to release a 10.69ha block at Scurr Heights that is already zoned for residential development, and will put the land out to tender next month. Its intention is that a developer will create a subdivision of around 100 residential sections.

Deputy Mayor Lyal Cocks said the Wanaka Community Board and Council decided to release the land for sale now based on the public demand for residential land and the desire to transfer the value of this land to other significant community projects or acquisition of other strategic land for the next generation.

The land at Scurr Heights is on two levels. Sections on the lower level will have mountain views while those on the upper level will also see Lake Wanaka.

Real estate firm Bayleys has been contracted to manage the tender process.
