Harking back to more simple times, think Marmite (Vegemite?), buzzy bees, and the old Morris or Vauxhall wheezing over the hills, threatening to overheat. No cell phones, just a life of board games, playing outside, beach walks looking for crabs, games of cricket, and simple BBQs. This lovely, quaint bach brings back all those memories.

Held by the same family for over 60 years, and a lifetime of happy holiday memories for them, this is a hard one to let go. North-facing and enjoying excellent harbour views from the Heads to Lyttelton and beyond, along with all-day sun, this property is perfectly positioned.

Set over two levels, there is a master bedroom upstairs that doubles as another living area and opens onto an upstairs deck, the perfect place to enjoy those views and relax. Downstairs there are two more bedrooms and a living/dining area, along with the kitchen and bathroom. A large heat pump will keep things cosy in winter and cooler in summer, and there is a separate laundry.

Easy, level drive-on access, a carport, and an easy-care 759sqm section complete the package. Established trees include a couple of heavy-bearing apricot trees; there is great birdlife, and plenty of places to sit in the shade with a cold drink.

The location is excellent, close to local shops, the cafe, beaches, and walking tracks. Also handy to the local school, kindy, playgrounds, tennis courts, yacht club and golf course. Affordable and usable, this is a step back in time that will bring one lucky family many years of fun and treasured family memories.

Nestled on the picturesque southern shores of Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupō, Diamond Harbour is just a 40-minute drive to Christchurch or a quick ferry ride to Lyttelton, and is within the zone for Cashmere High School with a free bus service for students. This charming coastal community is renowned for its breathtaking views, peaceful environment, and vibrant local culture, creating a tranquil and scenic lifestyle that is hard to beat. The community is well-served with local amenities. The area boasts an impressive selection of clubs and groups, ensuring there's something for everyone.
