Lye Bow Estate and Conservation Area Alexandra

Historic Lye Bow, established in 1860, is located on the lake's edge at Butchers Dam. Named for the original settler; Lye Bow, who was a gold miner turned market gardener, and whose life story and the associated story of his land qualify the area for Heritage status.

With mature gardens, heritage orchards and historic landmark sites, Lye Bow is now a serene retreat set within a stunning natural oasis. The only neighbour is the Flat Top Hill Conservation Area, locally renowned for walking and mountain biking trails, with easy access to Otago's cycle trails. Activities include swimming and fishing in the lake, walking & mountain biking in the hills, strolling through the beautiful gardens and orchards, and easy access to numerous vineyards, cafes, restaurants and other historic sites.

Lye Bow is bounded on one side by the Butcher's Dam lake, and on the other sides by the FlatTop Hill Conservation area. Six km Alexandra, 10 mins to historic Clyde, 25 minutes to Ophir or Cromwell, and approx 1 hour to Wanaka and Queenstown.
