Set on 1.8 hectares of peaceful Waitaki Plains countryside, this property offers a genuine opportunity to step into the rural lifestyle market and make your mark. With its picturesque setting, established trees, and mature shelter planting, the scene is already set for those with vision and energy to restore and enhance what’s here.

The original 1915 family home spans approximately 120m² and includes three bedrooms and one bathroom. While time and use have left their mark, the home remains full of potential — ready for renovation, revival, or even reimagining into something new entirely. For those willing to roll up their sleeves, the rewards could be significant.

Complementing the home is a near-new four-bay, three-sided implement shed, providing fantastic storage for machinery, vehicles, or projects, along with a smaller garage and glasshouse for added utility. The grounds are generous, sheltered, and private, with a large hedge protecting the property’s north and west boundaries — a welcome barrier from the well-known nor’wester winds that can sweep across the Waitaki plains.

This is a setting where lifestyle and recreation blend seamlessly. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate being just moments from the renowned Waitaki River and a short drive from the Waitaki Lakes, offering some of the best freshwater fishing in the region. The friendly community of Glenavy is only a stone’s throw away across the bridge, offering local convenience and connection.

Whether you’re seeking a first step into lifestyle living, a renovation challenge, or simply a property with space and rural charm, 51 McPherson Road represents opportunity and potential in equal measure.
