Tucked away in the peaceful township of Ohai but closer to Southland's key hubs than most realise, 129 Birchwood Road delivers the kind of lifestyle people drive hours to find. Fully fenced, north-facing, and tastefully renovated, this home blends modern comfort with the serenity of rural living—backed by the stunning Takatimu mountain range.
Step inside and you're welcomed by a bright, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space that flows effortlessly to a sun-soaked deck—perfect for soaking in the quiet, hosting friends, or simply unwinding after the short commute from Riverton, Otautau, Winton, or even Invercargill. A freestanding fireplace and heat pump keep things cosy, while the updated bathroom, separate toilet, and practical laundry bring everyday convenience.
Comfort has been thoughtfully prioritised, with ceiling and underfloor insulation (plus polythene), partially double-glazed windows, and a warm, inviting feel throughout—proof that rural living doesn't mean sacrificing modern ease. Outside, the detached single garage offers extra storage, and the generous backyard is ideal for kids, pets, gardeners, or anyone ready to embrace a slower, quieter pace.
With motivated vendors and a home that balances renovation quality, lifestyle appeal, and real value, this is an opportunity to secure small-town serenity without the isolation. Move in, breathe out, and enjoy the best of peaceful Southland living.
