House to rent/flatmates wanted kind of scenario. The house is two bedrooms, the garage sleep out is one bedroom and is mostly self-contained. You would have the house; I would have the garage sleep out. As the sleepout is still under construction, I would still need to access the house for the shower and laundry only. Tenancy agreement would be a standard rental agreement with access clauses. That is, until the sleep out is finished. 4 weeks bond, 2 weeks in advance. If you would like to come see the place feel free to call and work out a time. Alternatively, I'm happy to meet over facetime etc and show you around. Property: Set on 2 acres and located 5 minutes from Otautau with a NW view of the Longwood forest. Surrounded by farmland and only has one quiet neighbor to the north. Very low traffic. A rural and very peaceful place. Local amenities: Otautau (population ~800) is 5 minutes away. It has: - School - Pool and golf course - Supermarket - Convenience store - Fuel station - Veterinarian - St Johns - Pub/restaurant - Fish and Chips takeaways - Other shops such as farming stores, hairdresser, small gym etc Winton is ~30 min drive Invercargill is ~ 40min drive House is currently being upgraded with: - 9kw heat pump (done) - Underfloor insulation and moisture barrier (done) - 5.1kw solar array (installation in May) Amenities: - Cooking is gas cooktop/oven - Wood burner fireplace - Electric hot water - Rain water (two large tanks) - 2 TB Starlink internet - Two established tunnel houses on site you could use if you wish. - Other garden spaces available with plans to expand. - Washing machine - New upright fridge/freezer. - Power – - The middle of the one-acre paddock could be used for something if you wish - I can provide a queen-sized bed/mattress, the tv as seen in the bedroom photo, leather couch and recliners, dining room table and chairs, if you need them. Pots, pans, all that kitchen stuff. Other - Animals might be okay as long as they get along with my very loving cat - Not worried about smokers, just keep it outdoors - I don’t mind maintaining the lawns, controlling weeds etc Costs - Internet – paid by me - Rubbish removal – paid by me - Gas for house – paid by you - Firewood – paid by you - Power bill – shared. It will be lower due to solar but we can come to an arrangement depending on how many people are living in the house. About me: 36 year old dude working in the environmental field (730am-530pm) with interests in, gardening, growing native trees, self-sufficiency, playing guitar, and archery. Pretty chill and keep mostly to myself. Working on reforesting the one-acre paddock and improving the property. Am reasonably handy and can fix or improve house things as they arise. Sometimes spend weekends away from home. I will make sure to empty the house of everything you see in the photos before you move in. I'm pretty flexible if you wanted to make some of your own changes to the property etc, let me know! House available ~1st June, or as soon as the upgrades are done. Sooner, if it doesn't worry you. House will be professionally cleaned before you arrive. If you're interested in sharing costs even further, I am open to the idea of you renting the 2nd room in the house, provided the applicant is to your liking. If the peaceful rural life interests you, please shout out anytime.
