New Zealand established it’s Middle Earth credentials with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now a cottage that’s fit for a hobbit has come onto the market in Greytown, on New Zealand’s North Island.

Located 80 kilometres north-east of Wellington, Greytown is home to one of Aotearoa’s hidden fairy cottages – a home that any hobbit would be proud to own, with all the cosiness and luxury that a middle earth halfling could desire.

Built in the 1880s, the timeless property at 107 Main Street, Greytown is steeped in history and modern charm.

The three-bedroom, one-bathroom home exudes character and comfort, blending old-world features with contemporary upgrades. And it is now listed for sale through dynamic and accomplished agent Mehdi Zerhouni, Principal of Raine & Horne Wairarapa.

“This remarkable home offers timeless features including the elegance of French oak floors, pressed tin ceilings, plaster scotia, and ceiling roses that invite visitors to step back in time to when life moved at a slower pace,” Mehdi said.

Yet 107 Main Street also offers a wealth of contemporary luxuries including ample family living or space for guest accommodation, two toilets plus a heat pump for year-round comfort.

However, it is the sheer charm of the home that is attracting buyer attention.

The current owner is an award-winning landscape designer with three gold medals from the Ellerslie Flower Show. This is reflected in the home’s garden, which features secret nooks, quiet spaces for reflection and a soothing waterfall.

While it is reminiscent of the mythical elf realm of Rivendell, this homely house is brimming with commercial opportunities.

Adjacent to the primary residence is a separate building utilised as a retail space.

With its own private garden, this versatile area could easily be repurposed as a beauty salon or boutique shop or, with a few additions, transformed into lovely self-contained accommodation.

Better still, 107 Main Street is situated in a prime location, with all the amenities, cafes, and shops of Greytown just moments away.

Not surprisingly, this home has been featured in the New Zealand House and Garden magazine, showcasing its unique style and beautiful design.

Situated on a generous 709 square metres of land, 107 Main Street, Greytown is for sale by negotiation.

It could be your gateway to the enchanting North Island of New Zealand, located less than an hour’s drive from cosmopolitan Wellington and all its amenities including an international airport.
