Overview

Fix It or Flatten It?

On offer is a rare opportunity in one of Timaru’s most laid-back locations - a prime 607 m² corner site within walking distance of the Botanical Gardens, Timaru Hospital, and the beach. The existing cottage has seen better days and requires extensive renovation work. For the bold renovator, this two bedder could be a rewarding project to restore character and charm. For the developer or land banker, the flat, well-positioned section provides the perfect canvas for a new build or future investment. The location is key - enjoy the best of Timarus lifestyle amenities just around the corner, with strong demand for both renovated character homes and modern new builds in this area. Whether you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and bring new life to the cottage, or prefer to start fresh with a brand-new design, this property offers flexibility and potential limited only by your imagination. Deadline for offers closes 4.00pm 22 October 2025 (unless sold prior). All realistic offers will be considered by my motivated vendor. You are in control of your price and your conditions. Immediate possession available.
