Overview

A heritage treasure in Southland’s oldest settlement

Step into a rare opportunity at 86 Palmerston Street, a standalone heritage-listed cottage forming part of Riverton’s iconic Palmerston Street row, now offered for sale. Dating back to the 1870s, it represents a cherished piece of Riverton’s story and one of the few examples of the traditional New Zealand 'box cottage' still in such authentic form. From the street, its classic features like the central doorway, symmetrical windows, and gabled roofline are instantly recognisable. Inside, you’ll find two bedrooms complemented by the bonus of two attic rooms, adding flexibility for storage, hobbies, or extra sleeping space. Modern touches have been added with care - a renovated bathroom, the addition of a wood burner for warmth and atmosphere, and interiors that have been carefully and mindfully maintained by the current owners, ensuring the home’s charm endures while offering everyday comfort. The cottage’s roots trace back to local pioneer Theophilus Daniel, who played a key role in shaping Riverton/Aparima - Southland’s oldest permanent European settlement. Built during the town’s formative years of industry, expansion and community, these cottages became homes and small shops that served generations of residents. Today, 86 Palmerston Street stands as both a beautiful residence and a tangible link to Riverton’s past. Offering architectural value, timeless simplicity, and a truly special place within the heart of this close-knit coastal community.

All efforts have been made to source accurate information from reputable sources (i.e. Regional/City councils, Property-Guru, Core Logic etc).
