Your Property Journey Could Start Here

If getting a foot on the property ladder is the goal, this could be exactly the kind of opportunity worth exploring. A standalone home, a quarter-acre section, garaging and the ability to continue adding value over time – all within easy travelling distance of Greymouth.
Situated in the small West Coast community of Runanga, this weatherboard home has already benefited from some worthwhile improvements, including a recent re-roof and an interior refresh with some painting and flooring completed. There’s still plenty of scope to put your own stamp on things, but importantly, you’re not necessarily starting from scratch.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living area creates an easy everyday hub, with a woodburner ready to keep things cosy through the cooler months. Ceiling and underfloor insulation add to the home's comfort with ventilation and air circulation courtesy of an HRV system. The bathroom includes a shower and vanity, while the separate toilet and separate laundry are practical additions to the floor plan.

A combination of timber and aluminium joinery, neutral improvements already underway and plenty of potential for further enhancement make this a home where you can move in, settle down and tackle future projects at your own pace.

Outside is where another part of the opportunity becomes apparent. Sitting on approximately a quarter-acre section, there’s room to develop the outdoor space to suit the way you want to live. Create gardens, establish outdoor entertaining, make room for the kids and pets or simply enjoy having some breathing space around you. A detached single garage takes care of the vehicle, tools and extra storage.

For first-home buyers who have been watching the market and wondering where to begin, Runanga can offer an opportunity to secure more space without moving too far away from the employment, shopping and everyday amenities of Greymouth, however you are within walking distance to the local shop, school and swimming pool.

Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's finished vision, this is the kind of property where you can get your name on the title, make it yours and continue improving it as time and budget allow.
For investors, the straightforward layout, standalone garaging and generous section also make it an option worthy of consideration.
Your first home doesn't have to be your forever home. Sometimes it simply needs to be the one that gets you started.
