Jacks Point, in the picturesque South Island of New Zealand, is a new settlement taking shape on Lake Wakatipu. It exemplifies a commitment to an enduring partnership between mankind and nature.
At Jacks the philosophy is to tread lightly, carefully integrating a new community and activities into the land, with no disturbance to its intrinsic values. A covenant means the rugged, dramatic and open nature of the grassland and mountain landscape that makes up Jacks Point will remain forever protected from development.
"We do not inherit the world from our parents; we borrow it from our children"
Sheep are still farmed on the land at Jacks and only five per cent of the point’s 3000 acres will be built on; the remainder will be protected for future generations to enjoy because the people behind Jacks believe in the old saying that "We do not inherit the world from our parents; we borrow it from our children".
Our future rests in prudent, sustainable stewardship of the land. Without harming the future, fall in love with Jacks.
