71A Chalet Crescent, Hanmer Springs, Hurunui

Two bespoke cottages - one astute opportunity

Tucked away on a secluded section this exceptional property offers not one but two cedar-clad chalet-style dwellings, each brimming with character and charm. The main cottage is a warm and inviting two-bedroom retreat. Comfort is assured year-round with a log burner with wetback, heat pump and under-tile heating in the bathroom. Outside, a tranquil outdoor bath sits beneath a classic verandah - perfect for unwinding in nature.

Just steps away, the separate one-bedroom cottage offers a private haven thoughtfully designed as a romantic holiday escape. Nestled within native gardens and serenaded by vibrant birdlife, it features a kitchenette, heat pump, log fire, gas hot water, and its own verandah. A secluded open-air bath invites guests to soak under the stars in complete privacy.

Both dwellings share the same high standard of comfort and exceptional craftsmanship, showcasing recycled rimu features throughout, timber vaulted ceilings, full insulation, and double glazing. The grounds are fully landscaped with established natives plantings. The property includes a woodshed and a secure garden shed. The buildings are wired for a generator that delivers seamless backup power at the flick of a switch - ensuring uninterrupted comfort for both owners and guests.

Offered as a going concern, the one-bedroom cottage will be sold with existing marketing assets and websites, ready to be seamlessly transferred to the new owners. This charming retreat is ideal for couples and special occasion stays and is a proven performer, generating over $50,000 annually. Comprehensive occupancy data and income figures are available to prospective buyers seeking a proven income stream with lifestyle appeal.

The current owners are seeking a rent-back arrangement for a period of time for either cottage, offering the option to remain actively involved through ongoing property management. For investors, this presents a compelling opportunity to secure immediate income continuity while leveraging the owners' proven expertise in operating a successful accommodation business.
