Historic Cottage Living

Set on a 995m² fully fenced section in Ohakune, this three-bedroom Railway Cottage brings together character, comfort and a lovely sense of place. With 93m² of floor area, a rural outlook plus view of Mt Ruapehu, along with thoughtful upgrades already completed, it feels like a home you can settle into and enjoy from the first quiet morning coffee.

Inside, the living and dining areas feel warm and grounded, with a built-in fireplace adding character and large windows drawing in greenery and natural light. The kitchen keeps things simple and useful, with warm timber cabinetry, good storage and an easy connection to the dining area and deck. Comfort has been carefully considered too, with WiFi-controlled underfloor central heating powered by a heat pump, great insulation and double-glazed windows helping keep the home cosy through Ohakune’s cooler months.

The three bedrooms are calm and easy to furnish, giving you options for family, guests or working from home. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower and timber flooring, with an integrated laundry zone keeping the day-to-day running neatly contained. Further upgrades include re-lined interior walls, a new fuseboard and an alarm system for added security, all adding to the appeal of this well-maintained home.

Outside, the wraparound deck makes the most of the outlook, giving you a natural spot for evening drinks, summer lunches or watching the weather move across the mountain. The landscaped section has been set up for real enjoyment, with lawns, mature planting, a garden shed and nut and fruit trees already planted for you to enjoy.

From 116 Ruapehu Road, you’re within easy reach of Ohakune’s town centre, local cafés, everyday amenities, schools, walking tracks and the wider mountain playground the area is known for. The vendors are motivated and will consider all reasonable offers, so get in touch with Jenna and Polly to arrange your viewing.
