Overview

"O for Awesome"

Here’s an awesome opportunity - to own what was once the best house in the village and what could easily become the best house, all over again. This doer-upper is priced to sell. First built by Jim Breen, of Breen Construction, in 1948 - Omakau’s ‘Tree Haven’ - just oozes coolness. The character home has those thick walls, original wooden floors, sweet old fireplaces, and in places - rounded windows. The old girl, which is perfectly positioned in between the Otago Central Rail Trail, golf and bowling clubs, has had its exterior all spruced up, and sits on an elevated 1,386 sqm section, with gorgeous views out over Omakau and the surrounding ranges. Inside, there are currently four bedrooms, a kitchen and dining area, a living room, sunroom, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. You could live in “Tree Haven” just as it is, or alternatively, with a bit of elbow grease and imagination, you could return it to its former glory. Like America, Tree Haven has the potential to be great again. The property will be entirely fenced with post and railing fencing on all four sides and has great spaces to soak up the sun and those magical Central Otago views.
