Nestled in the quiet village of Ohai, this handcrafted Shepherd’s Hut is a true escape from the rush of city life. Built with care by local tradespeople, it’s filled with character and charm. The perfect place to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy Southland’s rugged beauty.

Step through the French doors to views of the Takitimu Mountains. In winter, the snow-capped peaks set the scene while you warm by the fire. Outside, tūī, bellbirds and kererū bring the garden to life, reminding you how far away you are from the everyday hustle.

Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully created. A calming space with artisan finishes like the recycled Rimu bar top with local river stones, and a copper rain head shower framed by an arched convent window. Cleverly designed for comfort, it features a queen-sized bed along with a well set up kitchen and bathroom, making it cosy yet practical after a day spent outdoors.

For those who love to explore, the location is as good as it gets. Fiordland’s lakes and Sounds are within easy reach, Southland’s rivers and coastline call to fishermen and hunters, and Queenstown is only a drive away when adventure beckons. Yet here, on your own quarter-acre section, you’ll find privacy, big skies, and the kind of stillness you just can’t replicate.

As night falls, the stars stretch wide, and if you’re lucky, the Southern Lights might even put on a show.

This isn’t just a hut. It’s your retreat, your base, your Southland story waiting to begin. Offered to the market on an ‘as is, where is’ basis, it’s a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss.
