Description
Deadline Sale 5 Mar 2026 at 4:00pm (Unless Sold Prior)
OPEN HOME: Wed, 11 Feb 3:00pm - 3:30pm
Circa 1910 and proudly wearing every one of her years, this semi-rural weatherboard home is not pretending to be something she’s not. The old girl needs work!
While much of the home is in need of renovation, the reward could be something truly special. The current owner has lived at the property for 16 years, and you can see it has been clearly loved over the years.
Offered to the market 'As Is Where Is', this is a property for the bold, the brave, and the visionaries.
Featuring three double bedrooms, a large living area , separate kitchen, bathroom with bath/vanity/toilet. The floorboards and roof are intact, but they have seen better days.
Outside is where this property really shines. The gardens are an absolute oasis – thriving fruit trees, a kiwifruit vine, established vegetable beds, and a well-trimmed hedge that is sure to make you smile. Fully fenced yard.
Location-wise, it’s unapologetically real:
- State Highway 1 at the front
- The main trunk line at the rear
Quick Fact Check:
- The property is Uninsured
- There were no EQ Claims made
- There is no shower!
This is not for the faint-hearted, the perfection-seeker, or anyone wanting turnkey living. But if you’ve got tools, time, and vision this could be one amazing project with a lifestyle payoff.
The Parnassus Roadhouse is just a few steps along the road – so your daily coffee ritual is well and truly sorted.
Roll up your sleeves. Bring your ideas. And give the old girl the next chapter she deserves.
