Foreign Buyer Eligibility

Can overseas buyers purchase land at Bremner Park?

Yes, and for Australian and Singaporean buyers there is no threshold at all. As of 2026, New Zealand has amended the Overseas Investment Act to allow eligible overseas persons to purchase or build one residential property in New Zealand, provided the total combined value of land and construction exceeds NZ$5,000,000.

Bremner Park land combined with a premium architect-designed home in Wānaka can readily meet or exceed this NZ$5,000,000 threshold, making Bremner Park one of the most compelling luxury property opportunities in New Zealand for eligible foreign buyers.

Why does Bremner Park suit overseas buyers?

Australian and Singaporean buyers can purchase here without any threshold or approval process.

For investor-visa buyers, the NZ$5,000,000 test is met by land and build combined, not by the land price alone. At Bremner Park, a lot paired with a premium architect-designed home comfortably clears that mark.
