This 120-year-old house is in an excellent location on a rise, surrounded by hills and forest and with a stunning view of a waterfall. The garage, sheds and house are dilapidated and in dire need of thorough restoration. It's as though it was built and never maintained and gradually fell into disrepair, awaiting a saviour to come and replace its roof, piles, cladding, lining, wiring, plumbing, floor and windows...Oh, and the property boundary runs right through the middle of the house, so you will need to make a boundary adjustment at your expense with the amicable neighbour. If you're looking for a new house, this property is not for you. However, if you have the pockets, the skills and the temerity to fully renovate and restore this historic house, the endpoint will be an extraordinary home in a superb location. So, I'm seeking handy people with sufficient capital to buy the property, to fund the remedial work and with the desire to own a quaint colonial house in the historic settlement of Seddonville surrounded by natural beauty and coal-mining history. This lovely ode by an unknown poet is stencilled on an ancient hand-adzed beam in the house: "May the beauty of the mountains- the forests- the lakes-the oceans-the plants and the animals always strike music with you. May the harmony of nature always teach and provide for your kind. Now and forever. Seek peace within, and love abounds. Arohanui/Kiaora." If you seek a home that embraces this sentiment, and you can see what could be rather than what is, extract your chequebook, prepare your tools and get stuck into restoring this beauty, and, pretty soon, you'll be living these words. In summary, this isn't a mere "fixer-upper;" this is a project for the bold, the brave, and the slightly unhinged. If you've got the cash to splash, the skills to wield a hammer, and the courage to embark on a journey of architectural resurrection, welcome to your new home. Please call Paul today for additional information and to arrange an inspection of this charming project and opportunity to employ your home-renovation skills.
