Property description
8 Sectional Title Units | Prime Corner Location | Major Redevelopment Potential
Own the majority stake in Merlot Court, a landmark heritage building dating back to 1895, prominently positioned on the corner of Bain Street and Main Road — one of Wellington’s most sought-after and walkable areas.
Originally built as a boarding school and later a student residence, this character-filled property now offers a rare chance to control the future of an entire sectional title scheme.
LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS
• Walking distance to shops, cafés, gyms, and both malls
• Close to medical services and established retirement facilities
• Excellent visibility and access from Main Road
