13 Railway Row, Ohakune, Ruapehu, Whanganui

This isn’t your average polished-up listing with cookie-cutter finishes and copy-paste charm. Nope. This is a 1910 character villa that’s worn its history with pride — and it's smack in the middle of Ohakune’s best bits.

Four bedrooms, a wood burner for those post-slope chills, wraparound decks made for long chats and good wine, and a location that puts you steps from the Junction, the Mardi Gras madness, and trails that lead straight into the wild.

Yes, it’s got quirks. No, it’s not pretending to be new. But if you’ve got a little vision (and maybe a few DIY weekends in you), this place has serious soul. Fibre internet’s sorted, there’s room to park a couple of cars, and you’ve got 543m² of flat land to play with.

Use it as your holiday hideaway, a full-time base for mountain missions, or turn it into the kind of home that friends ask to stay in — all the time.
