Tucked away in the heart of Mt Hutt Village, this much-admired Spaxton Street cottage has been quietly watching the world go by since the early 1900s. With its iconic cottage charm and storybook facade, it is a home that holds history in every beam and board, from snowy winters and summer strolls to families returning from days on the mountain.

Recently refreshed with a new exterior paint colour that perfectly complements its private, leafy surroundings, this home feels like its own hidden oasis. Set on a fully fenced 500sqm (more or less) section and framed by mature plantings, you will find peace, privacy, and a touch of magic here.

Inside, original features are lovingly preserved throughout, while the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates a welcoming space for friends and family to gather around the fire. Three double bedrooms offer comfort for residents or guests alike, and thoughtful updates over the years include an upgraded bathroom and a large, separate laundry with plenty of storage.

Outdoor living is a joy in this cottage, from morning coffee on the sunny patio to evening drinks watching the sun dip behind Mt Hutt. With a woodshed, tidy garden, and easy access to off-street parking, the property is both practical and picturesque.

Just a short, tranquil stroll along Mt Harding Creek leads you to Methven township, where vibrant cafes, friendly locals, and boutique shops bring year-round life to this alpine community. Once known purely as a winter destination, Methven has evolved into an all-season hub attracting families, investors, and those chasing a simpler lifestyle surrounded by nature.

Whether you are dreaming of a first home filled with charm, a character holiday escape, or an investment in one of Canterburys most beloved alpine villages, this special property offers an opportunity to own a true piece of Methvens story.
