295 Tadmor-Bushend Road, Tapawera, Tasman, Nelson

It is a special dream for many people to live life more sustainably, and go Off The Grid, producing most of what your family requires. This 3 year old home is double glazed, fully insulated, is warmed by a logburner, and your hot water is heated by a wood stove on wetback - where you can also bake your bread or cook your roast. There is a back up gas hob and oven if you prefer. The living area and main bedroom open out onto the north facing verandah where the views to the Kahurangi ranges are simply stunning!

Rain is collected into almost 100,000 litre tanks, and the house and roof is clad in low maintenance Coloursteel. The solar PV panels store Nelsons famous sun energy in a collection of batteries for your use. As well as the 2 double bedroom home, there is a shed alongside which offers garage for a small car or workshop space, extra sleeping options, and a hobby or art studio. The 2 hectares of gently sloping land is mostly pasture, offering options for grazing animals, or plant it all in trees of your choice. There are already stunning established oak trees, a firewood lot, a selection of fruit and nuts trees, plus some berries. For horse lovers, the round pen will be such a bonus! The gold bearing Sherry river runs along one side of the land, but deep down in its riverbed, it doesnt pose a threat in heavy rain events.

This area truly is a hidden jewel in Tasman, Nelsons crown, the gateway to the Wangapeka track. Birdlife and stunning geological features abounds, not to mention the fishing! The school bus stops at the front gate, it is only 10 minutes to the Tapawera township, and it is 40 minutes to the Richmond service centre, and less than an hour to the Nelson airport.
