Deadline sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Tue 21 July 2026

Zoned Residential C and positioned on a generous quarter-acre section (more or less) just a short stroll from Methven's town centre, this 1925 weatherboard home presents an exciting opportunity for both renovators and developers alike.

Offering plenty of scope to add value, the original home features three double bedrooms, the original bathroom, and a kitchen and dining area ready for upgrading. An extension completed in the 1980s introduced a spacious, sun-soaked living area, providing ample room for family life and a work-from-home setup.

For DIY enthusiasts and renovators, this is a chance to restore and reimagine. With a sizeable section, the possibilities are extensive. Developers will also recognise the opportunity here, located approximately 230 metres from Methven's shopping centre, the property occupies a highly desirable central position.

As land outside of the newer subdivisions becomes increasingly scarce, opportunities to secure larger sections in established areas are becoming harder to find. The location is ideally suited for future redevelopment (with council consent), with strong appeal for modern homes designed to cater to retirees, downsizers, and smaller households seeking convenience and low-maintenance living.

Completing the package is a single garage/carport and a section that offers space, flexibility, and future potential.

Whether you're looking to renovate, landbank, or redevelop, this is a rare opportunity to secure a centrally located property in a town that outsiders are now seeing the opportunities.
