The church, the old school house, and the charming cottage - a unique property steeped in historical character, set on the edge of one of New Zealand’s most popular bike trails, is offering the chance for new owners to create their own retreat - or to just embrace a slower pace of life.
The Timber Trail Centre in Ongarue, Ruapehu, is at the end of the popular Timber Trail. An 82km trail running the Pukeroa Forest, attracting around 25,000 cyclists and trampers each year. The property is spread across three separate buildings, among olive and heritage fruit trees, and a river that is bursting with trout.
