Is there a more spectacular lifestyle property setting in Nelson?

A secluded haven of bush and birdlife on what feels like the top of the world, yet only a 15-minute drive from the city.

From this 2.4850 hectare sanctuary of total peace, you look over a mind-blowing panorama stretching from the Waimea Plains and Port Nelson to Mt Taranaki as well as valley and bush views.

If the setting, amid native bush and astonishing birdlife, is remarkable, so is the house - a stunning, expansive (317sqm) home with soaring ceilings, built to commercial levels with 250mm thick concrete walls, hardwood timbers, and copper spouting - a house to outlast us all.

Inside, majestic living spaces feature lofty timber ceilings, window seats commanding astonishing views, four bedrooms including a separate wing with vast master suite, huge living areas opening to patios and landscaped gardens.

The house is situated in a flat site, above land to graze animals, or keep a horse, and dotted with thousands of native plants, this is a get-away-from-it-all paradise where hawks soar above.

Such a property is a rarity on this, the easy commuting side of Nelson, a stressless drive to town without traffic lights and nose-to-tail traffic.

Once home you won't want to leave the magnificent setting and the boundless vista. Children will love the bush, the grounds to explore and a grassland games.

Owners will relish the vistas, the sunsets from the hot tub, and the gatherings with friends in front of an open fire on the large terrace which no-one will ever forget.

Parking is large, with two garages: one attached, with internal access to the living rooms, and a separate double-garage with workshop or artist's studio, and huge parking space.

If you yearn for absolute tranquillity, a world of your own, space for your veges and fruit - and all with a no-traffic-light drive to town - this property will fulfil your wishes.
