Tucked away at the end of a peaceful driveway, this exceptional lifestyle property offers privacy, character, and versatility on approximately 4 hectares of gently contoured land, just 15 minutes from Takaka. The two-level home, full of warmth and natural light, was built by Philip Woollaston, son of renowned New Zealand artist Toss Woollaston. Combining charm with practicality, the house has a welcoming, lived-in feel that reflects its creative heritage.
The land is both inspiring and diverse, featuring native bush, open paddocks for grazing, a mini orchard, and a meandering stream. There’s ample space for gardens, future development, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. A beautifully restored train carriage offers a unique space for guests or use as a creative studio, while several sheds and outbuildings provide excellent storage and flexible working areas.
A private swimming pool invites you to relax and unwind, while the sunny garden surroundings create the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. This property, on the market for the first time in over 40 years, is rich in history, heart, and potential. It offers a rare opportunity to create, grow, and truly live your dream lifestyle in a place that feels both grounded and inspiring.
