Aviation Asset Opportunity in South Westland
Haast Airfield presents a genuinely rare aviation opportunity, strategically positioned to link the West Coast, Fiordland and Central Otago regions.
Originally developed by the New Zealand Government in the 1940′s, the airfield holds an important place in the country’s aviation history and continues to serve as a vital gateway to South Westland. The total landholding for sale comprises 12.81 ha (more or less), with the airstrip extending approximately 700 metres in length.
Operational capability is already well established, with functioning onsite AVGAS and JET A1 refuelling facilities providing a critical service point for aviation users in the region. Existing infrastructure includes an onsite office, deer and electric fencing, and a gravelled, compacted runway suitable for a range of aircraft operations.
Adding further value, recent approval by Westland District Council to zone the property as “Airport Zone” unlocks future development potential. This zoning enables the construction of private and commercial hangars, creating opportunities to expand services and further support aviation activity across this remote and high demand region.
Offered to the market for the first time in its current form, this sale represents an exceptional chance for a new owner to secure, operate and potentially develop a piece of strategic aviation infrastructure with historic significance and long term regional relevance.
Opportunities of this scale and nature are exceptionally scarce. Whether held as a strategic asset, an operational aviation hub, or a future focused development site, Haast Airfield offers vision, utility and legacy in equal measure.
