The Lifestyle Located just five minutes south of Lake Mapourika and five minutes north of Franz Josef Glacier village, this home offers a balance of serenity and vibrancy. Franz Josef is a welcoming West Coast community known for its creativity, hospitality, and exceptional dining scene — nine licensed restaurants and cafés deliver some of the finest cuisine on the Coast. In summer, the village hums with energy as visitors from around the world explore its wonders; in winter, the pace slows, offering peace, space, and a close-knit community of around 450 locals. Surrounded by Westland National Park and just 20 minutes from the historic seaside village of Okarito, this location is the perfect backdrop for new adventures, stories, and memories.
Your Opportunity This home is more than a property — it’s an invitation to join a community and a lifestyle set against one of New Zealand’s most spectacular natural landscapes.
