A unique high country setting
A Rare Opportunity
Merino Downs presents a rare opportunity to secure a place in one of New Zealand’s most captivating high-country settings—where space, tranquillity, and lifestyle come together in perfect balance with modern convenience.
The Twizel Lifestyle
Twizel, located on State Highway 8 between Christchurch and Queenstown, has transformed from a hidden gem into one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing and most desirable lifestyle destinations. Despite this growth, it has retained its welcoming, close-knit community spirit. Residents enjoy access to quality schooling, healthcare services, boutique retail, and a vibrant café and dining scene—offering both comfort and connection in an extraordinary natural environment.
Space to Breathe
Located within Twizel, Merino Downs enjoys the benefits of township proximity while offering a peaceful, semi-rural setting that reflects the true character of New Zealand’s high country. Whether you are seeking a permanent residence, a lock-and-leave holiday retreat, or a high-performing investment, Merino Downs delivers exceptional versatility. With accommodation in Twizel frequently in short supply and demand continuing to strengthen, the subdivision represents an outstanding opportunity for both lifestyle and long-term financial return.
Thoughtfully Designed Living
Merino Downs balances a sense of community with meaningful space between neighbours. With a minimum lot size of 5,000m² and a 10m setback requirement, each home enjoys a comfortable level of seclusion. The gentle south-to-north slope maximises sun and outlook, delivering sweeping north-facing mountain views and open vistas across the working Ben Ohau Station.
Adventure on Your Doorstep
Within the development, carefully considered landscaping enhances the natural environment, with thousands of tussocks, native trees, and traditional farm-style fencing reflecting the character of the high country. Beyond the boundary, a diverse range of activities awaits—from watersports on Lake Ruataniwha and the Ohau River to cycling the Alps 2 Ocean Trail, which runs alongside the property with exclusive access. Seasonal events like the Maadi Cup bring energy and demand to the area, while hunting, birdlife, and open landscapes further reinforce the region’s authentic outdoor lifestyle.
Protected for the Future
Protective covenants are in place to preserve the integrity, aesthetic quality, and long-term value of the subdivision—providing confidence and reassurance for discerning purchasers.
A Limited Opportunity
With most sections already sold, Merino Downs is firmly established as one of Twizel’s most desirable addresses. This is a limited opportunity to secure your place in an exceptional high-country community—whether for permanent living, holiday enjoyment, or investment in a thriving and rapidly expanding destination.
