A Slice of History in Ahuriri

A Slice of History in Ahuriri

Before the tiny house movement, there was the Shepherds Cottage of Ahuriri. This sturdy build has endured environmental changes and stood the test of time and is now considered the remaining cornerstone of the Napier settlement narrative. The iconic cottage was built in the 1850s - when physical work and limited access to resources meant you built your house to last. This durable and cosy home remains true to these colonial foundations in both the design aesthetic and the outstanding structural integrity. The open living plan is easy and accommodating, meeting the need for the simplified lifestyle choice. The light and bright interior will absolutely appeal with the high stud structure of a co-jointed space that incorporates the kitchen; dining, and living area; all married together by the easy-clean native timber floors that complement the modernised kitchen and the pay homage to the humble origins of this cottage. The property welcomes the early afternoon sun, and seasonal comfort and hospitality are well-considered, with an air conditioner/heat pump; infinity gas hot water system; the separate bathroom offering incredible water pressure making this cottage seasonally adaptable and an inviting retreat. Storage has been accounted for with the convenient addition of a separate laundry; and the cottage is fully alarmed and fully fenced, allowing for fur-friends; security and total privacy when you indulge in a starlit outdoor bath. You'll be further motivated by the value of the location, with an abundance of amenities all in close proximity, including easy access to Napiers central shopping district; a thriving cafe and restaurant culture; two local swimming beaches, and popular public transport routes, all at the doorstep of this quintessential cottage gem. With its small stature embodying a big heart that offers eternal character, this well-placed historic and humble sanctuary has been modernised and made ready for simple lifestyle virtues.
