1084 Tapawera-Baton Road, Tapawera, Tasman, Nelson

For those wanting a rural retreat, fishing guides requiring a lodge, home schoolers or retired farmers, here is an opportunity that seldom presents. Positioned on the tranquil banks of the Wangapeka River and framed by rural views, the property offers a serene lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of city living, while still being only ten minutes' drive from Tapawera Village.

As you step inside the two-storied home, you are greeted with a blank canvas ready to be made yours. Filled with natural light the generous kitchen/living/dining area is the centre of the home. Four comfortable bedrooms provide ample space for your family or guests. Heating is a wood burner with a wet back for water heating in winter and there's a dedicated bank of PV panels for water heating in summer. Another PV bank with batteries and an invertor provide lighting and power for your appliances and devices. The absence of fixed floor coverings throughout the home is your opportunity to customise to meet your tastes.

Externally, the property is equally compelling. A generous patio with veranda provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertainment or a quiet spot to soak up the stunning natural views. The 6.19 Ha property extends to the boundary of the Wangapeka River which can be heard softly murmuring in the background. The incredible riverfront aspect not only provides magnificent views but also fishing for trout, or picturesque riverside picnics. The grazing is flat, has been recently fertilised, and is leased to a neighbour. Birdlife and bees are plentiful and a variety of fruit and nut trees are near the home. Water is sourced from a very reliable well. There's also a two bay garage with an attached storeroom which offers ample space for vehicles and storage. All buildings and the on-site sewage system have been issued with Code Compliance Certificates from the Tasman District Council. The Great Taste Cycle Trail runs right past the gate.

So, for a tranquil rural retreat, on the banks of the beautiful Wangapeka River, with unrivalled privacy and a rare opportunity to create a home perfectly tailored to your tastes, call Owen now.
