Not every day does a piece of local history come to the market… and this one comes with character, charm, and a whole lot of potential.
Originally established in 1883 as the old Pihama Post Office and Bank, this iconic building has already begun its next chapter. The current owners had big plans here, but a change in circumstances means the opportunity now passes to someone else with vision, creativity, and a love for homes with soul.
Inside, you'll find a mix of character and comfort, with two bedrooms, multiple living spaces, matai flooring, ceiling insulation throughout the home, and a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath, separate shower, and updated plumbing. The master bedroom is a real standout, complete with double glazing and recycled rimu ceilings crafted from the original shop shelving - the kind of detail you simply can't recreate.
A log fire and heat transfer system keep things cosy, while the separate laundry and additional space earmarked for a future guest room leave plenty of scope to keep adding value over time.
Step outside and it just gets better. A covered deck overlooks the backyard, where established fruit trees, a large greenhouse, and an impressive 21m x 7m pole shed create the ultimate setup for country living, projects, hobbies, or simply slowing things down a little.
Gas cooking runs off bottled gas, there's a Challenger hot water system already in place, and everywhere you look there's another reminder that this property is something a little different.
This is your chance to secure a slice of history, roll up your sleeves, and create something truly special in a rural setting full of charm, character, and opportunity.
