First home buyers or investors - you've found it!
How many times have you driven past a quintessential kiwi bach that some genius purchased for a pittance thirty years ago, and kicked yourself for not realising that opportunity? Unfortunately, those opportunities are exceedingly rare now. The chances of you finding a beautifully maintained, two-bedroom, 1930s kiwiana cottage in a small town with the potential for exponential growth, is, to be blunt, slim. But, tucked down the end of Brandon Street, within walking distance to Featherston's blossoming village, drenched in sunlight, with expansive views of the Remutaka Ranges we've discovered one! Yes, it's just as you remember! The well-built solid kitchen - modernised now - but still with those rimu accents. The woodburner in the open-plan living space where you spent cozy nights playing scrabble. Remember The sweeping veranda where you had BBQs with family friends, and sat for hours on balmy Summer nights. The spacious fully-fenced section where you played backyard cricket until it got too dark to see? This section also includes a carport and quaint garden shed. Remember the small old bath and terrible water pressure? Forget that. This one has a modern bathroom with shower and excellent water pressure. Remember walking up to the local shop to get a scoop ice cream? We still have that here! Featherston is a budding little village, only a comfortable train ride to Wellington City, but far enough that it hasn't lost that small town feel. Those were the days. Those can still be the days. You've got 3 options here: 1) Make it home and enjoy it. Create new memories in the kiwiana paradise you never thought you'd find again. 2) Sit on this nest egg and watch it grow, or renovate and re-sell. Either way, this is a rare financial opportunity in today's market. 3) Don't buy it. Drive past one day and regret not investing in a property like this when you had the chance. Again. Call Benn and Erin immediately to view.

Our vendor's deadline is looming to secure their next property so it is now or never to be able to secure the fabulous William Grey Young designed home that is hidden behind mature trees and set on over 1800m2 of established grounds. This is a 5 (3+2)-bedroom opportunity, the main 3-bedroom home is linked by a deck to a further 2-bedroom plus bathroom studio, perfect for extended family, an air BnB or Homestay. Designed and owned by prominent architect William Gray Young - the first Arts and Crafts bungalow in New Zealand. Inside the home is warm and cosy and the character is evident from the ornate windows to the high stud, detailed ceilings, and arts and crafts woodwork. A sunroom extends the living room and gives access to the large backyard. The very generous master bedroom is located down its own hallway, where you will wake up with the sun streaming through the Eastern windows. The second bedroom is also supersized and has beautiful polished floor boards and a (non-working) ornate fireplace. The separate kitchen looks out over the deck towards the studio where you can curl up with cookbooks on the window seat. Across the hallway you will find the dining room that overlooks the rear yard and the outside fireplace, there is even room for chairs to lounge in. This home has too many features to list and really needs to be seen to be believed.

The business benefits from multiple revenue streams including a large sports bar complete with pool tables and adjoining garden bar, a gaming room, TAB, bar meals and a guest wing that has proved especially popular with recreational visitors and those required to stay locally while working away from home.

Included is the opportunity to re-commission the original bar or re-purpose it altogether as well as the opportunity to expand or further diversify by utilising vacant space so sought after in Featherston but with the Empire is part of the package. And with recreational tourism growing locally, take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the Empires proximity to existing and planned cycleways - and so much more. If you possess a little entrepreneurial flair and are energised by opportunity, then make this Empire your own. Please contact me for additional information and to set up a time to view.
