136 Palmerston Street, Riverton

Sitting in the heart of Riverton's main road is this iconic building hailing from the 1860's. Originally the Shamrock Hotel with a public house downstairs and ballroom and dancehall upstairs, the building has retained much of its character whilst being meticulously and lovingly upgraded and maintained throughout the years.

Highly ornamental and imaginative in design, the approx. 370m2 building is currently showcased as boutique accommodation with eight bedrooms and six bathrooms in total. The ground floor has been converted into two apartments - both with ensuites and one with a kitchen and a stellar semi-private courtyard. The upper level consists of five bedrooms, two of which have ensuites, plus a large kitchen and dining area, an adjoining beautiful lounge with a fireplace that flows onto a North-facing deck with stunning, uninterrupted views of both the Aparima River estuary and the Takitimu mountains.

Sitting on an approx. 1012m2 section, you'll be pleasantly surprised by backyard with its beautifully mature gardens, large covered-in courtyard and outdoor fireplace, all capturing that gorgeous view out towards the estuary.

The seaside town of Riverton, fondly named "Riviera of the South" is a must-see on the Southern Scenic route and a fantastic place for a family holiday or a real Southern seaside experience. While the current owner has followed their vision in the accommodation sector, this amazing property lends itself to so many different potential adventures, most of which would provide passive income and all of which would provide a whole new lifestyle!

This property has been declared not earthquake-prone after an assessment by the Southland District Council.
