Iconic investment opportunity (land and buildings)

Located in the heart of the Selwyn District, this iconic property is home to the much-loved Hororata Village Bar and Cafe, a well-known stop for both locals and travellers passing through. With a strong tenancy in place, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Hororata’s history and charm while enjoying the benefits of a solid, established investment.

Positioned proudly in the centre of Hororata village, the building is impossible to miss. Its character and presence perfectly complement the rural village setting, while the property itself has been well cared for both inside and out. Offering solid construction and undeniable appeal, it sits on well-maintained grounds featuring outdoor dining areas, a large gazebo, storage sheds, garaging, and car parking. Additional space at the rear provides potential for future development, such as adding a tiny home or accommodation options (subject to council approval).

At the front, the cafe's inviting shop frontage showcases its delicious food and daily offerings. To the left, a sunny and spacious dining area provides a welcoming atmosphere for patrons to relax and enjoy their meals. Toward the rear, a separate bar area offers a generous and comfortable space complete with large bi-fold doors that open to the gazebo and garden area, creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow that’s perfect for functions and summer evenings.

The layout is both practical and charming, with a fully equipped kitchen, modern bathroom facilities, and excellent storage options throughout, including multiple outbuildings garaging. The overall presentation reflects ongoing care and maintenance, ensuring both functionality for the current tenant and long-term value for the new owner.

Hororata is a district on the rise. The Hororata Community Trust continues to lead the way with innovative events and initiatives that showcase the area’s unique character, including the renowned Highland Games and Glow Festival, which draw thousands each year and highlight the spirit of the community. With the upcoming Community Hub project and continued focus on rebuilding and revitalisation post-earthquakes, Hororata’s future is looking brighter than ever.

Surrounded by Canterbury’s premier outdoor destinations, Mt Hutt Ski Field, the Rakaia Gorge, and an array of walking, hiking, and mountain biking tracks, the area’s popularity continues to grow alongside New Zealanders’ love for outdoor adventure.

With its strong tenancy, prime position, and community-driven growth, this central village property represents not just a charming investment, but one perfectly positioned for the future.
