89A Goldfinch Street, Ohakune, Ruapehu, Whanganui

This three-bedroom property isn’t polished, and it’s not pretending to be — but if you’re after space, privacy, and a project you can truly make your own, it might be just what you’re looking for.

Set on a fully fenced section with a big backyard, there’s plenty of room for pets, kids, or turning over some soil. From the deck out back there is a lovely view of Mount Ruapehu.

Inside, things are basic. The lounge is lived-in, and the wood burner does a good job of warming the space. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, and while everything works you may well want to put your own stamp on these spaces. Floors, walls, and finishes show wear and tear but there is a real opportunity for someone who’s not afraid to get stuck in.

All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the layout is simple and straightforward. Outside, there’s a woodshed, garden shed, and single garage, all usable for storage or projects.

It’s not picture-perfect, but with time, energy, and vision, this property could be turned into something special. A great doer-upper at an affordable price.
