Building Kereru Lodge 5 years ago was my vendor's dream, but an unforeseen change of circumstance has now necessitated a sale, providing one lucky buyer with a unique opportunity.
Nestled in Blackball, a quaint West Coast township steeped in NZ coal mining history, this sunbathed gem offers a truly tranquil place in which to unwind. Situated approximately 20 minutes from Greymouth, relax and enjoy the majestic mountain views from the expansive deck and swap traffic noise for the birdsongs of Kereru and other native species.
If you're keen on the outdoors this will be your new paradise, with walking, hiking and mountain biking tracks aplenty and the popular Paparoa Track is virtually on your doorstep!
Kereru Lodge has one master bedroom with the bathroom adjacent. The open plan living is warmed by a wood burner, which easily heats the whole lodge, while creating a cosy ambiance. The water and waste are on mains supply and the hot water is gas, providing easy care living.
This low maintenance property will appeal to downsizers, first home buyers and those looking for that special holiday home. It offers a great weekend escape and is an ideal lock and leave. Still in its relative infancy, there's plenty of scope to add your own flair and maximise on your investment over time, too.
If you haven't yet discovered the magic of the South Island's West Coast, this could be the perfect place to start!
My vendor currently runs the property as a successful Air B&B and will consider including chattels in the sale, should the new owner wish to do the same.
