New Zealand: owning a “bach” in superb natural surroundings is fashionable!
26.06.2009
New Zealand: All those who love life in the open air dream of owning a “bach” at the seaside or in the countryside. “Bachs” were little buildings where temporary farmers lived at the end of the 19th century. Sometimes they did not have a kitchen, or a bathroom. They were strategically located on the coast or in open spaces. In the 1950s and 60s, Kiwis started to use them as holiday homes and to build new ones using functional building materials. Now, buying a “bach” is a good investment option thanks to the vibrant New Zealand holiday homes sector. There are 50 thousand “bachs” in New Zealand.
New Zealanders use their beloved “bach” to escape from city life. There are many typologies available on the market: traditional little houses offering breathtaking views, prefabricated constructions, houses built using ecological materials and solar panels, and millionaire dwellings made of glass and steel.
Coroman Peninsula (in the area surrounding Auckland, the most densely populated city in New Zealand), Northland (the Maori territory in the North), the fiord area around Milford Sound and Wairarapa (Wellington) are the most sought-after regions. It is famous for its vineyards and for its proximity to secluded and unpolluted beaches.
