Property Description

Positioned prominently on State Highway 2 in the heart of South Wairarapa, this landmark property sits alongside the scenic Tauherenikau Racecourse, centrally located between Featherston and Greytown.

This substantial two-level building (510 sqm more or less) offers versatile opportunities. Upstairs, a five-bedroom residence features a kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and spacious open-plan living, making it ideal for boutique accommodation or owner/manager quarters.

Downstairs, the space is currently operating as a successful interior design store, with a flexible floor plan that includes both men’s and women’s toilets, making it easily adaptable for a variety of business ventures. Whether you're looking to relocate your business, secure an investment, or embark on a new lifestyle opportunity, the potential here is immense, with the building being sold with vacant possession.

Set on a generous 7917 sqm (more or less), the landscaped grounds boast mature trees, formal gardens, and delightful outlooks over the Tararua Ranges and racecourse. Its high-profile highway position makes it ideal for expanded retail, events, markets, accommodation, or even restoring it to its original purpose—an iconic country pub.

For decades, the Tin Hut pub was a beloved local gathering place, known for its warm hospitality, hearty meals, and as a meeting spot for travellers, racegoers, and Wairarapa locals alike. With a rich history dating back generations, this building has long been a cornerstone of the community and now presents an exciting opportunity for its next chapter.

Beyond the building, the property is a haven for those who value space, sustainability, and lifestyle. It features a double garage, additional sheds, a chicken coop, vegetable beds, fruit trees, a pond, and the Moroa water race meandering through the land. There’s also ample parking and storage to support a range of business or residential possibilities.

With the Wairarapa region continuing to grow as a sought-after destination, this is a rare opportunity to secure a high-profile investment or lifestyle venture. Take advantage of this iconic building and its prime location—whether to relaunch a legendary establishment, create a boutique retreat, or establish a thriving business.
