6 & 6A Swansea Street, Middlemarch -- a truly special offering right in the heart of town. This unique property brings together a beautifully finished 2023 new build and the remarkable Jail House Cottage, which even includes the original historic Middlemarch jail itself. Together, they form a rare combination of modern comfort and rich character -- and importantly, these two individual properties are being offered well below their build and renovation value, giving you instant equity and massive potential. It's an ideal setup for investors, extended families, or dual-income buyers looking for flexibility and opportunity.
The new home has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed, contemporary living. Warm and inviting with a pellet fire, heat pump, and HRV system, it feels fresh and comfortable all year round. The kitchen features a clever steam/convection/microwave oven combination perfect for those who love to cook, and it flows easily into light, open living spaces. There's a modern bathroom, a separate toilet, and two comfortable bedrooms, all freshly painted and beautifully finished. Outside, there's plenty of off-street parking, a single garage with an electric car charger, and a brand-new power pole providing reliable, upgraded power supply.
Next door, the Jail House Cottage is full of history and charm. It's had all the important upgrades, mostly double glazed, rewired, with a new roof, fresh bathroom, and a pellet fire all while still keeping its original soul. The bright kitchen looks out to the mountains, and the two good-sized bedrooms make it easy to host family, friends, or guests. Warm, welcoming, and full of character, it's perfect for Airbnb or short stays, with resource consent already in place from its previous use.
Set in a peaceful spot near the popular Otago Cycle Trail and the Rock and Pillar Range, the property enjoys a lovely microclimate and beautiful outlooks. Whether you're looking for a special place to call home, a country escape, or a lifestyle that offers income and charm in equal measure, 6 & 6A Swansea Street delivers it all. Just 45 minutes to Mosgiel and about an hour to Dunedin, this is an easy country retreat within reach of the city.
