Not only a rare and unique opportunity, but a magnificent property with an amazing history. A new owner will be honoured to own this, just as I am honoured to represent the current owners in this sale.
The old BNZ Bank building, stables and hitching rail were built in 1911, and are the oldest commercial buildings in Raetihi to survive the devastating great fire of 1918. When the Bank closed down for business in 1990, a local group of friends bought the property, which over time has dwindled to two passionate community members, who have lovingly and tastefully restored the building over time, to it's former glory. It is a magnificent building, jaw dropping from the ceiling and chandelier, the original embossed window, the Strong Room, woodwork, delightful feature walls and so much more. Until recently, the Bank has been used as an Art Gallery and still set up to be reinvigorated. This property and all it has to offer can not be simply explained. It needs to be seen, and when you visit you will get to enjoy it's history, you'll feel it, you'll understand the unique opportunity that lies ahead of you.
At a later date, the bank manager's two bedroom home was added to the rear of the bank building which is fully functional for accomodation.
The BNZ building, the stables and hitching rail are all heritage sites. This sale includes three separate titles, which includes two adjacent vacant sections.
It really is magical and magnificent, I'd love to welcome you in to have a look at this unique piece of real estate.
