Hidden Gem on Stewart Island!

Tucked away in a peaceful and sunny position, this spacious four-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of comfort and lifestyle on beautiful Stewart Island.

Set on an impressive 8,600 sqm section, the property features a well-maintained 1970s home that has been thoughtfully renovated with care, creativity and practicality in mind.

The current owners have poured heart and hard work into creating a warm and welcoming property and now it's ready for someone new to enjoy everything it has to offer.

Inside, the home offers generous open-plan living, large sun-soaked decking and plenty of room for family and guests.

Downstairs, a self-contained area complete with a kitchenette, bathroom and large bedroom creates flexibility for extended family, guest accommodation, holiday rental potential or additional privacy.

Storage and workspace are a real highlight here. With a double garage, separate single garage and substantial additional shedding, there's more than enough room for vehicles, boats, tools, and all the extras that come with island living.

Less than a 5-minute walk to Oban township, the property is within easy reach of the bay, local shops, transport, and the island's much-loved hotel and restaurant, offering the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and space.

The beautifully maintained grounds are a standout feature, complete with established gardens and expansive outdoor areas to enjoy. Wildlife is part of daily life here - whitetail deer, native birds, and kiwi are regularly seen on the property, including one particularly special encounter that achieved widespread recognition online. The property also includes its own helipad - a unique addition that opens the door to exciting lifestyle or event opportunities.

The 8,600 sqm (approx) parcel offers significant subdivision potential, featuring two distinct access points.

This presents compelling opportunities for future development including the building of additional dwellings, land subdivision, or enhancement of the property's investment value, all subject to council approval.

Offered fully furnished, including a ride-on mower to keep the lawns looking immaculate, this is the whole package, whether you're searching for a permanent family home, a holiday retreat, or an island investment with future potential.
