Beachfront, big section, big opportunity

Waterfront living at this price point is a rare opportunity, and this Fortrose beachfront property is one worth serious consideration.

Set on a generous 1012sqm (more or less) section just 30 minutes from Invercargill, it captures sweeping coastal views, breathtaking Aurora displays, and outlooks across to Rakiura (Stewart Island) and beyond.

The refreshed 1940s cottage offers two double bedrooms and light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living, designed for relaxed seaside living. A new roof has recently been installed, providing added reassurance for years to come. Step out to the front deck and enjoy your morning coffee with the sound of the waves, or host summer evenings with family and friends as the sun sets over the water.

Internal access garaging ensures secure storage for the boat and beach toys, while the spacious section easily accommodates a caravan or extra guests—perfect for creating lasting holiday memories. Positioned on the Southern Scenic Route and known as the gateway to the Catlins, Fortrose delivers classic Kiwi coastal pursuits including swimming, kayaking, whitebaiting and blue cod fishing.

Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a summer retreat, or a permanent move to the coast, this is a rare chance to secure an affordable slice of Southland waterfront.
