Secure your seaside serenity

Waterfront living at this price point is a rare opportunity, and with our vendors now priced to sell at $489,000, this Fortrose beachfront property demands serious consideration.

Set on a generous 1012sqm (more or less) section just 30 minutes from Invercargill, the home enjoys a spectacular coastal setting with direct access to the shoreline and sweeping views across the water. Watch breathtaking Aurora displays light up the southern skies while taking in uninterrupted outlooks toward Rakiura (Stewart Island) and beyond—an ever-changing seascape right on your doorstep.

The refreshed 1940s cottage offers two double bedrooms and a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed to embrace relaxed seaside living. Comfort is enhanced with double glazing throughout, the convenience of two toilets, and the reassurance of a recently installed new roof. Step out onto the front deck to enjoy your morning coffee to the sound of the waves, or host long summer evenings with family and friends as the sun sets over the water.

Internal access garaging provides secure storage for the boat and beach gear, while the expansive section offers plenty of room for a caravan, extra vehicles, or visiting guests—perfect for creating lasting holiday memories.

Located on the Southern Scenic Route and known as the gateway to the Catlins, Fortrose is a haven for classic Kiwi coastal pursuits including swimming, kayaking, whitebaiting and blue cod fishing.

With genuine vendor motivation and a clear price of $489,000, this is an increasingly rare chance to secure affordable waterfront living in Southland—whether as a weekend escape, holiday retreat, or permanent coastal lifestyle.
