4 Mersey Street, Fortrose, Southland

Set in a truly special seaside position, this charming 1940s home captures the essence of coastal living — where expansive ocean views, open skies and the rhythm of the sea become part of everyday life.

From the sheltered covered deck, the outlook is captivating. Look across the water towards Stewart Island, with the Takitimu Mountains appearing on a clear day. Whether it’s the changing colours of the sea, a dramatic coastal sunset or simply the ever-present horizon, there’s something wonderfully restorative about this outlook. And when night falls, the magic doesn’t stop. With its expansive views and open skies, this is a fantastic vantage point for experiencing the Aurora Australis on a clear night. Imagine stepping outside and watching the Southern Lights dance across the sky — a spectacular natural show from your own home

. For those who love the outdoors, this is a location that invites you to get out and explore. Dive, fish, kayak, pop the whitebait net in during the season or simply head down to the beach for a long walk and enjoy the freedom of having the coast on your doorstep. It’s a lifestyle where weekends can be spent on the water, afternoons exploring the shoreline, and evenings back on the deck taking in the view. The home itself is comfortable, relaxed and easy to live in

. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area creates a welcoming central space, while two double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. Double glazing and a heat pump add year-round comfort, while the large internal-access garage, laundry and additional shower room provide practical convenience. Set on a generous 1,012m² fully fenced section, there’s room to enjoy the outdoors, have the family come and stay in tents or caravans, making the most of this unique coastal setting.

And despite the feeling of getting away from it all, you're less than 40 minutes' drive from Invercargill, giving you the best of both worlds — a peaceful seaside retreat with the city comfortably within reach.

Secure your seaside sanctuary today, in time for the family to enjoy the Christmas break by the beach.

This is more than a home; it’s a change of pace. A place to breathe, explore, watch the tides, follow the seasons and look up at the night sky. Come for the lifestyle, stay for the view.
