The Perfect bach?
Tired of rising costs, endless clutter, and the pressure to keep up?
Step away from the noise and into a life of simplicity, freedom, and self-reliance at what could be the perfect bach. This off-grid tiny home on wheels offers everything you need and nothing you don’t to live on your own terms.
Built in 2020 by Adapt Portable Buildings with care and intention, this home is sustainable, efficient, and ready for full-time living. Tucked away on a sunny spacious 1,442sqm section in the popular former gold-mining town of Ross, it’s only 25 minutes drive to Hokitika for work or its amenities making it the perfect base for a more grounded, independent lifestyle.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to live comfortably year-round. A warm lounge kept toasty by a Spiroloc little wood burner evokes the charm of a DOC hut, while a clever open-plan kitchen includes a Thetford gas stove, plenty of storage, and large double-glazed windows to let the outside in. The loft sleeps a queen, and the bathroom features a shower, vanity, and composting toilet all powered by a smart solar setup.
Hot water is on tap via a 26l Rheem gas boiler and the tiny home has been designed to connect the power to mains, should you wish to install it in the future.
Here, you can harvest rain, grow your own food, and wake to birdsong—not traffic. This is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle shift. One where your time and energy go into the things that truly matter.
Whether you’re looking to go fully off-grid, set up a base for seasonal living, or test-drive a simpler way of life, this property offers the ideal start. Plus, with space to expand (subject to Council consent), there’s room for your future vision too.
