‘I’ve never fallen in love with a house before’: The letter that won them their dream home
Persistence pays off in securing their long-loved Little River dream home.
AI summary
A unique former hospital in Little River is for sale after the current owners secured it with a persistent letter years after first falling in love with it. Built in 1925, the Banks Peninsula home retains its historical character, including original wide doors and a former morgue now used for storage.
The property features an updated kitchen, a separate artist's studio, and sits on nearly half a hectare. The owners are reluctantly selling due to health reasons.
