4 Mersey Street, Fortrose, Southland

Wake up to the sea, finish the day under the stars.

This charming 1940s home sits in a truly special coastal spot, where wide ocean views, big open skies and the sound of the waves are simply part of daily life.

The sheltered covered deck is where you’ll want to spend your time. Gaze out across the water to Stewart Island, and on a clear day, catch the Takitimu Mountains on the horizon.

From shifting sea colours to fiery coastal sunsets, it’s a view that never gets old. Once the sun goes down, keep an eye on the sky.

With nothing but open space in front of you, this is a fantastic spot to catch the Aurora Australis, and there’s nothing quite like watching the Southern Lights put on a show from your own deck.

If you love the outdoors, you’ll be right at home here. Go diving, fishing or kayaking, put the whitebait net in when the season’s on, or just wander down to the beach for a long walk.

Spend your weekends on the water, your afternoons exploring the coastline and your evenings back on the deck soaking up the view.

Inside, the home is relaxed, comfortable and easy to live in. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is the welcoming heart of the home, and there are two double bedrooms. Double glazing and a heat pump keep things comfortable all year round, while the large internal-access garage, laundry and extra shower room add plenty of practicality.

The generous 1,012m² section is fully fenced, giving you room to enjoy the outdoors and space for the whole whānau to come and stay in tents or caravans over the holidays.

It feels a world away, but you’re less than 40 minutes’ drive from Invercargill, so you get the peace of the coast with the city still close at hand.

Get in now and the family could be enjoying Christmas by the beach this year. More than a home, this is a change of pace. A place to breathe, explore, watch the tides roll in and look up at the night sky.
