Step into a slice of New Zealand history at this enchanting 1910’s villa, where classic character blends seamlessly with expansive possibilities. Nestled on an extremely generous 5,713 square meters of lush, gently sloping land in the heart of Mapua's coastal village, this partially renovated gem offers the perfect canvas for your dream lifestyle, whether that's family living, a creative retreat or smart development.
The villa itself exudes period elegance with its weatherboard exterior, high stud and casement windows, featuring three cozy bedrooms, a single bathroom and additional toilet. Recent renovations have breathed fresh life into key areas, while a 1980’s extension provides the kitchen and dining complete with period correct styling, think additional living zones that catch the afternoon sun and frame views of the surrounding Tasman countryside. With multiple off-street parking spaces, everyday convenience is a given.
It's the land and location that truly steals the show. This expansive plot isn't just a backyard; it's a blank slate for a large home extension, orchards, gardens, a pool, or even subdivided potential (subject to council approval), all while maintaining the privacy and tranquility that Mapua is renowned for. Adding to the practicality, a recent 7m x 20m shed complete with 3 phase power stands ready as your ultimate workshop, storage haven, or home gym, built to last and wired for whatever your vision demands.
Mapua, with its artisan galleries like the captivating Rare Creations Interactive Wooden Art Gallery, waterfront cafes serving fresh seafood at the bustling Māpua Wharf and stunning beaches just moments away, delivers that effortless coastal charm.
Embrace the sunny, creative spirit of this seaside haven, stroll scenic walks to Ruby Bay, hop on a self-guided e-bike tour through boutique wineries, sip craft brews at local spots or unwind with a ferry ride to Rabbit Island for picnics and mountain bike riding.
