Make Memories in this Classic Kiwi Bach!

Less than an hour's drive from Dunedin, and handy to Palmerston & Macraes, you'll find this peaceful, well-loved wee oasis. It's rekindles memories of the way Central Otago used to be - before the crowds arrived. If you want a special retreat - your "happy place" - where your family and you can disappear for memorable weekends and holidays - then this could be it!

On approx 3,872 m2 of land, this special property is bound to capture your imagination. With bush and birdlife, abundant 'old style' fruit trees, private river access, and a generous flat backyard, this oozes "classic Kiwi vibes". Imagine your kids playing hide-and-seek in the bush, swimming in the river, or enjoying backyard cricket. This is a place where memories are made!

The well maintained, solid (concrete block) 90m2 home features a charming cottage style kitchen and separate living area with a cosy open fire, plus two generous bedrooms. It is inviting, functional and relatively low maintenance. The owner is moving on to a new phase in her life and is happy to leave the home fully furnished - it's ready to move in and enjoy!

There's a variety of outbuildings including a garage, 'studio', glasshouse and large implement shed; plus an outdoor pizza oven! And if you look further you might find another shed or so!

The fruit trees/vines include greengages, peaches, apricots, pears, apples and grapes - plus lots more! If you're a gardener you'll appreciate the stunning blooms and future potential. Wander through the bush, check out the 'secret' tracks and relax at your own special private riverside spot; maybe do a spot of fishing, kayaking or swimming.

This spot has its own micro-climate - very similar to Central Otago. It can be wet and miserable in Dunedin but sunny here.

What is the price? Well, this is a deadline sale so there's no fixed price; but it will be a fraction of what you'd pay for a decent section in Wanaka. And please ignore the rateable value - it bears no relevance to the market value of this property. The owner has very realistic expectations in the $400,000 to $500,000 range. If you are eager and able to surprise with a 'clean' hassle-free offer then the vendor may consider it before the deadline.

We expect strong interest from across NZ in this very special property. So, if you're keen please contact me now for further information and/or come along to the next open home. But don't hang around - opportunities like this rarely come up.

Deadline Sale - closes 12pm Wednesday 25th March 2026 - prior offers considered.
