Escape to Catlins Lake Sanctuary, a serene lakeside retreat with stunning views over Catlins Lake and the estuary.

The batten-and-board home (141m2) has two double bedrooms, open-plan living with a cosy Yunca multi-fuel fire, and retro furnishings included - full of charm and comfort, ready for your personal touches.

The garage has been converted to a one-bedroom annex with shower and toilet (not fully consented, as is where is) offers extra space, with a living area overlooking the lake. The outdoors features multiple areas to relax and enjoy the scenery, making the most of the stunning views.

Popular as a short-term rental, guests rave: "Perfect location for exploring the area, close to the village. Great evening views as the sun goes down over the estuary. Typical 70's batch but everything provided and lovely and clean."

Just minutes from Jack's Bay and the Southern Scenic Route, it's five minutes to Owaka, 87 km from Dunedin Airport, and 125 km from Invercargill - ideal for exploring the Catlins.

Opportunities to work from home, extra income possibilities, occupancy rate 72% over this last year.

A rare lifestyle opportunity in the Catlins.
