“Details”
Wilderness Retreat, Fiordland National Park 
 

Limited Commodity. . . .  Very rare, not only in New Zealand but worldwide, with only 25 or 26 freehold (Deeded) titles in 3 million acres of Fiordland National Park and this package on offer has 2 of them. A World Heritage Park which is New Zealand's largest, most scenic and spectacular of all her beautiful parks. Their value can only increase in an overburdened world.

The Jamestown Bay titles hold advantages over all others in the park which makes them very exclusive. The primary advantages are the very special rainforest location in a fantastic little bay, sheltered from the predominating winds, only 15 minutes by helicopter over snow capped mountains from the famous Milford Sound but remote enough to offer perfect seclusion for the wilderness romantic.

Eco - Tourism Opportunity . . . .  Just look at the location in relation to New Zealand tourist Mecca's - Queenstown, Wanaka and Milford Sound. Then look to the growth of eco-travellers who hunger for our wild, remote places and you will see the potential to develop a very special place. However, it needs a large injection of capital to turn it into a viable business. It's an ideal location for a "genuine" eco-tourism venture.

Hunting/Fishing . . . . With 3 wilderness lakes and 2 river systems accessible by jetboat from Jamestown Bay the country available for outdoor Recreation such as hunting etc. would be hard to find anywhere else in New Zealand.

Charlies Place . . . .  Established in this unique wilderness location by Charlie in 1995, his is a small, upmarket wilderness lodge. It is a 149 sq metre log style building (legal commercial building). Fully furnished with a spectacular outlook through sub-story Fiordland Podocarp rainforest. A very special place - but not the true value of this exciting and unique package.

True Value of Package on Offer . . . .  All freehold (deeded) land in the park is governed by the Scenic Protection Order (S.P.O.) which places restrictions by the title, irrespective of the land area of the title. As a result, the grouping of 4 sections under 2 titles gives this package an extremely valuable aspect., with the prospect of further development to compliment the present facilities. (Eco-style/rainforest lodge). An example of the S.P.O. restrictions is: only one dwelling per title not to exceed 150 sq metres, meaning you can have twice as much development with two quarter acre titles than you could have with a single 50 acre title, making land area irrelevant, an important concept to grasp to understand the value of this  unique package. Charlie (the vendor) is willing to offer his services to the new owner/s with experience and hard won knowledge on all aspects of developing this special remote and wild location.
