80 Main Road, Harihari, Westland, West Coast

Harihari's main claim to fame occurred on 7 January 1931, when Australian aviator Guy Menzies landed upside down in a swamp near Harihari, completing the first solo flight across the Tasman Sea. Aside from this, there’s something special about a home that’s been well loved. You can feel it the moment you arrive at 80 Main Road in the heart of Harihari - a property that has provided years of comfort and is now ready for its next beginning.

Positioned along the iconic West Coast tourist route, approximately an hour south of Hokitika, this location offers lifestyle, community, and opportunity in equal measure.

Built to last, this home features reliable Hardiplank cladding, a freshly painted exterior, aluminium joinery, an iron roof, and solid piles - all the fundamentals buyers and investors look for. It’s the kind of property that gives you confidence from day one. Whether you’re stepping onto the property ladder or adding to your portfolio, the low-maintenance exterior is a real tick in the “stress-free ownership” column.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/dining and living area with three double bedrooms, each complete with built-in wardrobes - ideal for growing families, flatmates, or tenants needing proper storage space. The bathroom is compact and functional with a shower over bath configuration, complemented by a separate toilet and separate laundry - practical features that make everyday living that little bit easier.

A detached double garage offers excellent parking and workshop potential, while two additional storage sheds provide room for tools, firewood, bikes, or hobby gear.

This is West Coast living done right - space for projects, vehicles, and all the extras that come with rural or semi-rural life. Harihari is known for its strong farming sector and hunting, fishing and tramping opportunities all close to the township. These sectors underpin the local economy and create consistent demand for rental accommodation. For investors, this is a smart, affordable option in a location where good, tidy homes are always sought after.

For first-home buyers, it’s a genuine opportunity to secure a solid property in a welcoming community with the bonus of stunning West Coast scenery right on your doorstep. If you’ve been waiting for an affordable first home or a straightforward investment with solid fundamentals, this could be your next move.
