Proud to be in
Balclutha

Welcome to

Positioned halfway between Gore and Dunedin, Balclutha is South Otago's largest town, servicing this vast fertile farming region. With native forest, wildlife, and a rugged coastline, it is truly a gem of the south. 

Balclutha, aptly meaning 'big river town', is home to New Zealand's second-largest river, the Clutha River. The river is an integral part of the town's history, as it encouraged farmers to the area and brought fame but mainly fortune with the discovery of gold.

Nestled under the picturesque blue mountains, there are many outdoor activities to enjoy. From Golfing, swimming, and hikes, you can take your pick on the weekends on how to best enjoy your free time. 

Arching over the Clutha river is the Balclutha road bridge. To enjoy below is salmon and brown trout fishing year-round. Locals and visitors afar enjoy waterskiing and powerboating.

Who'd know this house was perched up here? Set on a generous 1,416m2 section in the Rosebank area, this property has that little bit of surprise about it. A private, concreted driveway takes you up to the top, where you find a home that feels tucked away and elevated. And then there are the views of Balclutha, enough to give you something interesting to look out over. A place to sit with the newspaper and a coffee and enjoy the day go by, and come evening, the town lights up, and it becomes one of those views you'll find yourself looking at without even thinking about it. The home offers three bedrooms, all with wardrobes, along with a useful sunroom that could be a hobby room, home office or spare room for guests. The living is open plan, with the kitchen flowing through to the dining and lounge areas, with good natural light. Is well heated with two heat pumps, a Metro fireplace and a heat transfer system, while the hot water is electric. The bathroom offers a wet-floor shower with door, vanity and bath, with the toilet separate through the laundry area. There's good storage throughout, a wide hallway and internal access to the basement, where there's room for more than one car, with an automatic single garage door opener and a workshop area. Outside, the larger section provides established veggie garden beds, a woodshed and a BBQ area for outdoor living, and plenty of space for kids to run around and play.  The house itself has the feel of a solid, well-maintained home, brick construction, double-glazed aluminium joinery and a Colorsteel roof. Has also been rewired, with insulation top and bottom, as well as some internal walls. A home with good bones, a great outlook, tucked away up high, and ready for its next chapter.
