Description

Styx Station – A Premier New Zealand High Country Holding

Located on Linnburn Runs Road in Paerau, just 45 km from Ranfurly and 30km from Patearoa, Styx Station offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of New Zealand’s iconic high country. Spanning approximately 15,580 acres across four titles, this property combines scale, productivity, and natural beauty in one impressive package.

The station features around 4,324 acres of river flats and gently rolling paddocks, including cropping blocks for brassica and ryecorn, ideal for wintering and summer finishing. This area incorporates the main buildings and infrastructure, while the balance comprises medium hill country supported by a separate, more extensive hill block of 5,040 acres, providing flexibility for diverse farming operations and outdoor pursuits.

Infrastructure is substantial, with three four-bedroom homes, a two-bedroom stone cottage, a four-stand woolshed, multiple outbuildings, three sets of sheep yards (including one satellite), and cattle yards. Styx Station winters 17,347 stock units on a five-year average, including approximately 8,274 ewes and replacement hoggets, alongside mixed-age cows and R1 cattle.

Currently undergoing a strategic development program focused on pasture enhancement and lifting stock performance, the station is well-positioned for future growth. Water security is assured through a livestock water scheme sourced from both the Taieri River and Deep Creek, reticulated to the paddock country.

Styx Station is located Just 170 km from Queenstown International Airport, offering convenient access for buyers seeking a private high-country retreat. This makes Styx Station not only a productive farming enterprise but also a property with potential for hunting and outdoor recreation. Whether you seek scale for farming or a private wilderness retreat, this station delivers opportunity and character on a grand scale.
