444 State Highway 4 presents a mixed-use freehold property comprising hospitality premises and an attached residential dwelling across two titles totalling approximately 1,998sqm (more or less). The offering provides a functional combination of commercial and residential space, supporting a live-work style ownership.
The property includes a heritage class C building, adding character and presence while contributing to its established identity within the Upokongaro community.
The premises are equipped with hospitality infrastructure including commercial kitchen facilities, dining areas and service spaces, complemented by a spacious outdoor area with decking, seating and dining set amongst mature trees. This creates an appealing environment for patrons and provides a practical foundation for a purchaser to establish their own business or configure the property to suit their individual requirements.
The property has scope to service the local community, travellers passing through the area, and visitors drawn to the nearby Whanganui River and surrounding natural environment, including bird watching enthusiasts. This provides a base for a new operator to build on, with potential to explore extending the offering, including an on-licence and longer operating hours, subject to the necessary council consents.
The dual-title configuration and overall site layout offer flexibility, while the existing improvements allow for a range of potential uses or concepts.
For clarity, the property is being offered as a freehold land and buildings opportunity, with the existing fit-out included. No business financial information will be provided.
444 State Highway 4 is offered for sale by Deadline Private Treaty with all offers to be received by 3pm, Thursday 7 May, 2026 (unless sold prior).
