Anvil was founded by blacksmith George Bowler in 1880, a time when iron was forged with strength and sweat, laying the foundation of a legacy etched into the landscape.

This storied history is woven into Bowler Cottage, constructed circa 1880. From its days as a blacksmith shop to a devastating fire in 2015, Anvil has witnessed many chapters. But from the ashes of disaster, a phoenix rose, reimagined as a stone cottage echoing its historic past, an architecturally crafted home blending heritage with contemporary style.

A second cottage is connected to Bowler; spacious, self-contained with twin bedrooms and en-suites. Anvil also features a 90m² workshop and showroom with commercial consent, ideal for use as a gallery, creative space, café, speciality retail, or conversion to residential. Complementing the property are a four-car garage, garden shed, carport, yard ideal for a boat or caravan and ample parking to support your lifestyle and/or business needs.

The large workshop and four-car garage transform Anvil into a historic hamlet with modern functionality. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms offer plenty of space for family and friends. Set on a generous 5,065m² parcel, the property also offers opportunity for expansion with a consented building platform for an additional two-bedroom dwelling. Anvil combines rich history with flexible modern living, offering a unique opportunity to craft your own legacy.

The new Kawarau Gorge cycle and walking trail runs past the frontage to Bannockburn, passing through wineries and the stunning Kawarau Gorge. And it’s only a short walk to a wonderful local swimming hole, perfect for the hot Otago summers.
