2 Neva Street, Catlins Surrounds, Clutha

A coastal sanctuary at Fortrose

There's something special about places that make you slow down the moment you arrive.

Positioned overlooking the estuary at Fortrose, the southern gateway to The Catlins, this beautifully renovated home offers a rare chance to secure a true retreat just 45km from Invercargill. It's a place that feels a world away from the pace of town, while still being close enough to stay connected.

From the home, views stretch across the estuary where the river meets the sea, with ever-changing light, tides, and birdlife creating a calm and grounding backdrop. Summer evenings are often spent out on the water fishing or relaxing at home in the spa as the sun sets, and on clear nights, even catching glimpses of the aurora overhead.

The home itself has been thoughtfully and extensively renovated, offering comfort, warmth, and an easy sense of flow. Inside you'll find three bedrooms plus an office, one bathroom, and open plan living that flows out to the deck, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Double glazing, insulation and gas hot water enhances year-round comfort, while the immaculate exterior and gardens reinforce the feeling of privacy and care.

What truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle that comes with it. Step outside the gate and you're on the coastal walkway leading down to the estuary, and a short stroll takes you to the Fortrose Café for your morning coffee. This is a home that encourages you to slow down, spend time outside, and enjoy where you live.

This property will appeal to those looking for a peaceful coastal base, as well as those who work in town but want to escape the hustle and bustle and come home to something special. Homes in locations like this are tightly held, and opportunities like this do not come up often.
