Situated 10km north of Punakaiki along State Highway 6 and 1km south of Fox River, this exceptional 4.4hectare property offers a blend of coastal living and historical significance. Part of a former 80-hectare holding, this prime residential site provides both accessibility and seclusion.
The property features a diverse landscape, with flat terrain and hillside areas. At its northern extremity lies an original trigonometrical survey point, affording unobstructed coastline views. The current dwelling, originally a potting shed expanded into a basic bach, is nestled on the flat area, shielded by regenerating native bush.
An elevated area has been identified as an ideal location for a new permanent residence, offering expansive views towards Cape Foulwind. The property shares a driveway with two neighbouring lots, with NZTA restrictions ensuring low-density development.
Modern amenities include nearby power supply and strong 5G mobile network coverage. The existing bach provides a charming retreat during warmer months, with basic conveniences in an outhouse. Filtered water is sourced from a hillside stream.
A notable historical feature is a large concrete structure near the road - a remnant of a fluming system that once transported coal to Seal Island.
This property represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of coastal heritage. It is available through a Deadline Sale closing at 12 noon on November 18, 2024, unless sold prior. Rateable Value: $475,000.
Prospective buyers can acquire a property combining natural beauty, historical significance, and a fantastic building site.
