As Is, Where Is - Fore Shore

Earthquake damaged, deferred maintenance, deceased estate ... all the hallmarks of risk and opportunity are bundled together in this fantastic property in one of the city's most coveted communities. Longevity of tenure in Southshore is testament to the fact that once families move into this lifestyle location very few find reason to leave - for many the association is lifelong and intergenerational. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the area, Southshore holds a very special place in the hearts of the locals. Young ones that grow up here leave to explore the world - but almost always return to their home stomping ground. Properties often remain in the same families for years, so to be able to snap up this bargain is a real rarity.

The main dwelling comprises a 1970's block and timber 4-bedroom family home; with additional accommodation provided in the self-contained studio unit above the double garage. Both buildings have been compromised in the sequence of earthquakes and are sold on an 'as is' uninsured basis. Uninterrupted views of the ever-changing estuary, cityscape and foothills of the Southern Alps have been a positive consequence of the demolition of adjacent homes on what is now 'red zoned' land. Although limited legal access to Crown land is shared in the driveway the subject property is the only residential lot which utilises it. The 764sqm site has magical, established gardens and landscaping features which offer complete privacy. Those with vision and imagination will be able to see the potential this site holds.

The executor's instructions are clear - "We need this property sold on or before the scheduled auction day!" Call today for further information or your appointment to view. Property ID: #PD4966
