This 120-year-old house is in an excellent location on a rise, surrounded by hills and forest and with a stunning view of a waterfall. The garage, sheds and house are dilapidated and in dire need of thorough restoration. It's as though it was built and never maintained and gradually fell into disrepair, awaiting a saviour to come and replace its roof, piles, cladding, lining, wiring, plumbing, floor and windows...Oh, and the property boundary runs right through the middle of the house, so you will need to make a boundary adjustment at your expense with the amicable neighbour. If you're looking for a new house, this property is not for you. However, if you have the pockets, the skills and the temerity to fully renovate and restore this historic house, the endpoint will be an extraordinary home in a superb location. So, I'm seeking handy people with sufficient capital to buy the property, to fund the remedial work and with the desire to own a quaint colonial house in the historic settlement of Seddonville surrounded by natural beauty and coal-mining history. This lovely ode by an unknown poet is stencilled on an ancient hand-adzed beam in the house: "May the beauty of the mountains- the forests- the lakes-the oceans-the plants and the animals always strike music with you. May the harmony of nature always teach and provide for your kind. Now and forever. Seek peace within, and love abounds. Arohanui/Kiaora." If you seek a home that embraces this sentiment, and you can see what could be rather than what is, extract your chequebook, prepare your tools and get stuck into restoring this beauty, and, pretty soon, you'll be living these words. In summary, this isn't a mere "fixer-upper;" this is a project for the bold, the brave, and the slightly unhinged. If you've got the cash to splash, the skills to wield a hammer, and the courage to embark on a journey of architectural resurrection, welcome to your new home. Please call Paul today for additional information and to arrange an inspection of this charming project and opportunity to employ your home-renovation skills.

Welcome to Cuckooville; that's what our vendor's friends thought about her moving to an old railway cottage in Seddonville..." Whereville"? They quipped. However, our intrepid vendor defied her naysayer friends, moved to the historic town of Seddonville--about halfway between Westport and Karamea on the Wild West Coast--and never looked back. Named after the former New Zealand Prime Minister, Richard Seddon, Seddonville has a rich history, with coal at its core. But today, it is a natural paradise and a haven for outdoor activities. On the cusp of Kahurangi National Park, at the western end of the Old Ghost Road Trail, on the majestic Mohikinui River, and just inland from the roaring Tasman Sea, Seddonville is a peaceful adventure wonderland. From hiking and mountain biking to kayaking and surfing, the Seddonville region beckons those who seek adventure and nature's many gifts. It's a place for anglers, birdwatchers, history enthusiasts, and nature photographers. You can explore remnants of the region's rich past, build driftwood forts on the beach, gather around campfires, and find tranquillity and peace of mind amid a natural wonderland. So welcome to "Whereville" and the opportunity to embrace life in this special place. For more information or to embark on your journey to Cuckoo Cottage, please call Paul today.
