Some properties are difficult to describe because their appeal comes from the whole rather than any one feature. This is one of those properties.
A five-bedroom home, generous garaging, an established rock sea wall and a beautiful setting come together to create something that simply couldn't be replicated today.
After many years of enjoyment, the owners are ready to see this special property begin its next chapter.
Set in Golden Bay, Onekakā, in one of New Zealand's most beautiful locations, this is an opportunity to enjoy a very special part of Golden Bay — with space, privacy, water, open land and the freedom to live a little differently.
The property sits on a stunning coastal peninsula, with the Onekakā River, estuary and ocean all forming part of the landscape. Beyond, the surrounding countryside and mountains provide a constantly changing backdrop.
And then there is Golden Bay itself. Beaches, walking and cycling are close by, as is the iconic Mussel Inn, while Tākaka provides the everyday amenities you need. Tākaka Airport is just five minutes away, making getting in and out of Golden Bay surprisingly convenient.
It is the kind of place where you can spend the morning pottering around home, dip into the sea in the afternoon, fish off the beach, call in at the Mussel Inn, and be back in time to watch the evening light change across the water.
The owners have enjoyed this property for many years and have created a home and lifestyle that has been very much their own. They are now ready for a change and feel the time is right for someone new to enjoy what they have created here.
Perhaps that is what makes this opportunity particularly appealing. You don't need to recreate anything. You simply need to imagine how you would make it yours.
For a family, a place to gather. For those wanting more space and freedom, a place to breathe. For those who love the outdoors, there is the sea, the land and the landscape right on your doorstep.
And for someone looking for a property with a little more room to dream, there is plenty here to explore.
1232 Tākaka-Collingwood Highway is ready for its next owners.
