160 Birchwood Road, Ohai, Southland

Handy mans dream or smart investment. Restore, renovate, or create a new direction -  the choice is yours!

The 1904 miners cottage has a lot going for it under a rough exterior - hardwood ceiling and floors, original coal range, watertight roof and many solid bones. The 1924 add on has the basics and is a functional, livable space during renovations.

The hard work is well underway with a century of scrim and carpet removed, and the section reclaimed. Sold with new ply, interior and roof paint, insulation, spouting and gutter system, hardware, tools and even a new kitchen sink!

The home has been insulated roof and underfloor with the Warmer Kiwi Homes initiative.

The 2023sm section provides plenty of opportunities depending on the lifestyle you want to create - room for the sheep, chickens and ample space to add a garage. A variety of edible trees, berries and establishing gardens have started our vision.

Last pictures are screenshots from videos during early renovations so you can see the structural integrity of the home.

Can provide more information to those genuinely interested. Must be seen to appreciate the potential! - To book a viewing, contact the owner directly, or find out more... please visit the listing here: https://listed.co.nz/property/3624
