Choose your own adventure – and with vendor expectations now significantly repositioned, this 1.21-hectare property deserves another look.

Set within Featherston’s town boundaries and residentially zoned, this is a substantial parcel of land offering scale, flexibility and genuine future potential, while remaining immediately liveable today. This is not lifestyle or rural land – the residential zoning is a key part of what makes this opportunity stand out.

Held across three sections on a single title, the property offers multiple potential pathways, subject to council approval. Residential zoning allows for multiple dwellings without subdivision, while subdivision into approximately 400sqm sections could potentially create around 12 sites. Whether your thinking is development, multi-generational living, accommodation, staged projects or simply securing a significant piece of residential land for the future, there is plenty here to explore.

Infrastructure is already well considered, with ample power at the gate and fibre connected to the house, shed and additional space. Multiple potential building platforms add further flexibility, while current legislation may also allow for a 70sqm granny flat, subject to applicable conditions.

Preliminary discussions have also been held with council planners regarding the possibility of a small motorhome park of approximately 12 berths. No consents are in place, but the early conversations provide another avenue worth investigating.

For now, the existing two-bedroom, 78sqm home provides a comfortable base to live in while deciding what comes next. Additional buildings offer useful, adaptable spaces for working from home, hobbies, creative projects, recreation, storage or whatever suits your plans, including an insulated shed with a heat pump.

Bordered by Donalds Creek and protected open land, you get rural outlooks and dark skies within a designated Dark Sky Reserve – yet Featherston’s cafés, schools, shops and train station are all within walking distance.

The price expectations have moved significantly. The deadline is now set.

With Buyer Enquiry Over $547,000, this is an opportunity to secure 1.21 hectares of residentially zoned Featherston land with infrastructure, an existing home and options for the future.
