102 Kana Street, Mataura, Gore, Southland

Set on a generous 1/4 acre section, the home feels anchored to its setting. Mature greenery wraps the boundary, a gravel drive provides effortless off-street parking, and the deck is positioned to soak in the afternoon light. The covered outdoor area, framed with exposed rafters and timber detailing, acts like an extension of the living room - a natural spot for slow breakfasts, evening barbecues or settling in with a view of the hills catching the last of the sun.

Inside, the main living zone centres the home with warmth. Exposed beams give the ceiling character, while the soft grey carpet and neutral palette ground the space in a sense of quiet. Large windows and sliders pull in the outdoors, and both a heat pump and a freestanding wood burner ensure the seasons never dictate your comfort. The adjoining kitchen is charming and functional, with updated cabinetry, dark benching and a well-placed window framing a lush, green outlook.

The three bedrooms sit along the hallway, each bright and inviting. The bathroom and separate laundry bring everyday practicality into the mix, completing a layout that works without effort.

Location is the clincher. You’re only steps from the Mataura River - renowned for world-class trout fishing - and positioned with excellent frontage to Kana Street. Local essentials, schools, shops, medical services and the wider Mataura community are close by, while Gore is under 15 minutes away for commuting, sport and weekend amenities.

Fantastic rental opportunity with a current rental appraisal of $450 per week.
