Sought after for their character and charm, the New Zealand railway cottage is an icon of early twentieth-century architecture. Solidly built, these houses offer a great opportunity to blend historic character with modern comfort.

Sitting in an elevated position on Ruapehu Road, the cottage enjoys views of Mount Taranaki on a clear day, while Mount Ruapehu is visible from the front porch.

A beautifully original interior has polished wooden floors, high ceilings and plenty of character features. The formal entrance hall leads to an open-plan family space featuring a kitchen and dining area. The three bedrooms enjoy plenty of light through their generous sash windows, complemented by a practical separate laundry, shower room and two toilets. For extra guests, there is an additional bunk room in the outbuildings to the rear, with a tool shed and wood store, all accessible by a covered walkway.

With a newly installed hot water cylinder, underfloor insulation, and modern switchboard, 112 Ruapehu Road presents a good value, ready-to-go option for a home or holiday home. These cottages have proven reliability and have stood the test of time. Secure your piece of history today.
