1631 Gibbston Highway, Gibbston, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago, 9371, New Zealand

Judge and Jury Farm Retreat is just that – a serene and secluded rural retreat that seems far away from the hustle and bustle of life yet is only minutes to Gibbston, Arrowtown and Queenstown. Beautifully set amongst the historical landscape of Gibbston Valley and the Crown Range, this 52 hectare property is exquisitely positioned and well set up to take advantage of the tourist attractions that surround it.

The Queenstown Trail networks runs right past its entrance connecting to the Gibbston Valley and Two River trails providing endless options to enjoy the splendour of local wineries, eateries and tourist activities including AJ Hackett Bungy, Oxbow Adventures and river rafting just to name a few. The property comes with an abundance of accommodation options including the main farmhouse with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms; a beautifully appointed 2 bedroom cottage plus a self-contained loft – all featuring the rustic charm of hand crafted stone and modern finishings.

Currently set up as an accommodation business as well as a home and utilising all three buildings for short term stays (with guests often staying longer than a week), the visitor reviews are impressive with a common thread from those who’ve stayed loving the modern, stylish appointments; the peace and tranquillity; and the fact that it feels like a true “home away from home”. There is also a permanent “safari tent” providing for yet another visitor-type, plus there is the benefit of five additional approved building platforms should you wish to enhance this aspect of the business further.

This property is really one that needs to be seen to truly understand its unique character in terms of both the buildings and the landscapes and its extraordinary views down to Queenstown and the Kawarau River. It will suit those seeking their own piece of paradise away from it all – to enjoy either on their own or with family and friends, or for those seeking income potential who want to continue with the accommodation business.
