Overview

Preserving history and embracing the future

Welcome to 84 Palmerston Street, Riverton - a true embodiment of New Zealand's rich history. Step into the past as we explore this remarkable property, a local landmark with a story dating back to the early 1800s. Standing as a representative collection of the iconic NZ 'Box Cottage.', its roots trace back to a time when Riverton was yet to be surveyed in 1858. Theophilus Alfred James Daniel, a prominent local citizen, obtained the land upon which these cottages now proudly stand. The property has witnessed the marriage of Daniel to Elizabeth Stevens, the half-sister of Captain James Howells, the 'founder' of Riverton. Over the years, this historic gem transitioned through various owners, predominantly women, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Southland's history. Today, 84 Palmerston Street is seeking a new custodian to embark on the next chapter of its journey. This property isn't just a home; it's a business opportunity waiting to unfold. Imagine opening its doors to the public, transforming it into a cozy tea room, or perhaps a cafe. This property promises not just a slice of Riverton's history but an investment that will appreciate over time. The property spans 536 square meters of land, offering a floor area of approx. 120 sqm. With two bedrooms, two living areas and a bathroom, it retains its historic character while providing modern comforts. Electric hot water, a coal range with a wetback and heat-pump heating add to its unique features. Don't miss the chance to be part of Riverton's living history.
