As Is Where Is Opportunity

Nestled in peaceful surroundings, on a generous 1012sqm section, this property is brimming with potential and waiting for your creative touch.

Sold "As Is Where Is", due to earthquake damage, our vendors want to hand over the reins to someone who can turn it back into the much-loved family home, that it was for 64 years and could be again!

Please note, no insurance claims or proceeds will be transferred to the new owner, and the property is being sold on an uninsured basis.

There's no denying that the earthquake damage has taken the shine off this three-bedroom one bathroom, with separate toilet and shower home, but step inside and you will discover a habitable, spacious and functional layout, with an open plan kitchen/dining area and attached separate living room. Partially double glazed.

Outside there's a garage with storage space and attached woodshed and the generous backyard is the perfect private and serene green space for the kids and or pets to run around.

While the property offers an opportunity for repair and personalisation, the location is hard to improve. Just 20kms to the Mt Lyford Lodge and Ski resort, 47 kms to Hanmer Springs Thermal Resort and a scenic 80km drive to the coastal beauty of Kaikoura.

Waiau itself, offers stunning river walks, fishing and boating opportunities, great sporting facilities, fabulous local school and a warm, welcoming rural community. Adventure and relaxation are always within reach.

So, whether you're looking for a permanent home or a holiday bolthole, this is your chance to secure a slice of relaxed, small town living. Don't miss out, come and see the possibilities for yourself.
