Tucked away in the peaceful township of Rai Valley, this property captures everything there is to love about small-town living, space, community, and that sense of calm you can’t quite find in the city.
Just 40 minutes from Nelson and around 50 minutes from Blenheim, this location is the perfect in-between close enough for an easy commute, yet far enough to truly unwind. Rai Valley is the gateway to the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds, a haven for boaties, fishers, and anyone who loves the outdoors.
This three-bedroom one bathroom home has been thoughtfully built, open plan living, log burner and double glazed. Set on a sprawling 4,345 sqm section, you’ll find established fruit trees, a large shed, and plenty of room for kids, pets, or a veggie garden. Wake up to the morning sun pouring through the kitchen and end your day with a cold beer and platter on the deck as the sun moves around the property.
Life here moves at a different pace. Neighbours wave, kids still ride bikes down quiet streets, and weekends are spent exploring rivers, beaches, and bush tracks instead of sitting in traffic. And best of all, you can have all of this at a much lower cost than the bigger towns and city.
If you’ve been craving a change more space, more freedom, and a true sense of community this home might just be the fresh start you’ve been searching for.
