Step back from the street and back in time with this picture book cottage in the heart of Ohakune. Sitting behind a white picket fence with its bullnose verandah and red front door, you’ll feel at home before you even step inside.

The property would make an idyllic first home, a convenient retirement plan close to shops and amenities, or a characterful holiday pad.

The pretty entrance hall leads through to a cosy living room complete with a wood-burning stove. Flowing on to the rear of the house is a practical kitchen and dining area which leads out onto a charming north-facing deck area. With three comfortable bedrooms, featuring high ceilings and many period fixtures and fittings, the best way to describe this home is “hygge.”

Ohakune is a cool little mountain town on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, a gateway to the Tongariro National Park and home to the world-famous Carrot Park. If the great outdoors is your thing, there is plenty of it here for you to explore. Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, and climbing opportunities are all within easy reach.

This cherished family holiday home is looking for its next loving owner. Could that be you?
