Rifugio Mountain Range

Tucked among mature trees in sought-after Heritage Park and just a short walk from Wanaka’s town centre, Mountain Range Lodge offers a rare blend of privacy, charm, and incredible potential. Crafted with natural timbers and timeless schist stone, this warm and welcoming property sits on expansive, easy-care grounds with stunning mountain views.

Purpose-built to host and accommodate, the lodge comprises eight spacious bedrooms, six of which are ensuited, with a total of seven bathrooms. Each suite has direct access to sun-soaked decks or garden areas, creating a peaceful retreat for guests or residents alike.

The communal guest lounge is a relaxed and comfortable space, featuring a schist open fire and a convenient kitchenette – ideal for enjoying refreshments, a cheeseboard, or a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir. The well-equipped main kitchen is capable of catering to large groups, with the flexibility to be shared with guests or used privately depending on how the lodge is operated.

A large north-facing deck flows from the kitchen and living areas, providing a beautiful setting for summer dining, evening drinks, or simply unwinding after a day of exploring. There’s also ample off-street parking, offering plenty of space for guest vehicles. Additional features include a drying room for ski gear and a spacious self-contained unit above the double garage, offering even more flexibility.

This is a versatile offering with broad appeal – whether you’re looking for a joint family home, a boutique accommodation business, staff or worker housing, or simply a unique investment with income potential with visitor accommodation consent for up to 15 guests already in place.

As an added bonus, the property includes a 1/7 share of a 1.5-hectare heritage park, providing exclusive access to additional recreational space and natural beauty.

Opportunities like this, in such a prime Wanaka location, are extremely rare.
