If you have dreamt of an affordable tiny house or holiday bach tucked away in total privacy with lots of trees and backing onto farmland then this could be the one.

Up in the blue zone and enjoying absolutely amazing views of the Lyttelton Harbour this 32sqm (approx) house is waiting to be loved again. Set on a 1,017sqm (approx) section there is drive-on access but it is steep and will certainly keep you fit as you head off for your morning or evening walk, got to be good for you.

The wee house is open plan with one big room doubling as a bedroom and living area with a small kitchenette and a separate bathroom. There is a wood burner and a huge north-facing deck to enjoy those views and the prolific birdlife.

The dwelling does need some TLC, and will be sold in 'as is' condition but it is insured. There is rainwater tanks and a cassette-type toilet with a soakpit for grey water. To connect to the mains sewerage and water would be approximately $7k to $10k and would be well worth doing.

Charteris Bay is a seaside community approximately 30 minutes drive from Christchurch city. The area has beautiful beaches, Orton Bradley park with its wonderful walks, cafe, golf course, tennis courts and nearby boat ramp. An easy 5 minutes drive to the local shops and 2 Thumb Brew bar and the ferry to Lyttelton is just a few minutes down the road.
