Set in the heart of Golden Bay, this expansive property, with nearly a kilometre of water frontage encompassing the Onekaka River and Estuary, as well as an ocean beach, presents an incredibly rare opportunity to secure a property that offers both lifestyle and investment potential. Here, history meets nature in a way few places can offer. The setting invites creativity and rewards ambition, with multiple income streams possible and infrastructure already in place to help you get started. For a golfer with a dream of owning their own golf course, an investor seeking high-profile land or a visionary ready to create something extraordinary, this is a rare chance to secure a truly iconic slice of Golden Bay.
The property boasts a spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom home spread over two levels, a versatile residence equally suited as an owner’s home, staff accommodation or a guest lodge. Thoughtfully modernised over time, the home blends comfort with character, and all upgrades have been completed with full council consent. Every room enjoys beautiful outlooks, with windows framing the surrounding landscapes, from the shimmering sea to the distant ranges, ensuring a constant connection to the setting. Seamless indoor-outdoor flow leads to generous decks, the perfect stage for entertaining, unwinding and soaking in Golden Bay’s magical sunsets.
Adding to the property’s appeal is a substantial three-bay barn, ideal for storing equipment, vehicles or boats or as a workshop or creative space to suit your plans. Water is supplied from both rain collection and a stream source, giving reliability and flexibility year-round.
Much of the value here lies in the land itself, flat, elevated and positioned to capture sweeping views across the bay. This rare outlook not only adds strong inherent value but also opens up exciting future potential. Importantly, the existing golf course provides a unique platform to expand on its recreational appeal. With the home already on site, the opportunity exists to further develop a true ‘play-and-stay’ destination, combining boutique accommodation with golf, dining and leisure experiences. Beyond casual rounds, there is scope to host golf events, corporate retreats, wedding parties or golfing holidays, all of which could draw visitors to the region and extend their stay. As experiential tourism continues to grow, Golden Bay is well-positioned to attract both local enthusiasts and international travellers seeking something distinctive. Any further development or expansion of these opportunities would, of course, be subject to obtaining the necessary consents, but the foundations are already in place to create a signature venture that maximises the land, the views and the lifestyle appeal.
This is a landholding of scale and versatility, with spaces and facilities ready to be transformed into your vision, whether that’s a vibrant tourism venture, a thriving recreational hub or a private sanctuary. Opportunities of this calibre, blending history, beauty and potential, are rare in Golden Bay… and rarer still to secure.
