A project with history, project and scale

Set in the coastal township of Fortrose, just 37 kilometers from Invercargill, this property is full of opportunity. Once the Fortrose Boarding House, 40 Neva Street sits on a generous half an acre (more or less) section across two titles, offering both scale and flexibility in an enviable seaside location.
The home is offered as-is, where-is. With numerous bedrooms and a solid long-run roof, it's a property that invites vision. There are plenty of options here to roll up your sleeves and restore the character of the existing building or start afresh with your own design.
Located just a block from the Fortrose Estuary on the main Catlins Highway, you're perfectly positioned for a weekend getaway, with golf, fishing, and coastal recreation all nearby.
Opportunities of this size, with this much potential, rarely come to market in such a desirable location.
Auction: 24 October 2025 (will be sold).
40 Neva Street, Fortrose — make it your own and bring this historic site into its next chapter.
