I am pleased to present to prospective buyers a rare offering of a stylish country villa surrounded in native New Zealand bush replete with privacy, peace & quiet, stunning coastal views and free sunsets every night. Set on 1.46 hectares of native forest with beautifully developed gardens, this property offers privacy, tranquillity and the opportunity to live in harmony with the land. The established orchard, greenhouses, ornamental plantings and chicken run provide the foundation for genuine self-sufficiency, or the option to earn a modest income selling fresh produce to the local market or from your own roadside stall. The European-styled villa is gracefully nestled into the hillside, enjoying expansive coastal views across the Ōtūmahana Estuary to the Tasman Sea. Mornings bring birdsong, sunlight and the scent of the bush; evenings close peacefully as the golden sun sinks into the sparkling ocean. With no immediate neighbours, the atmosphere here is calm, natural and restorative. A substantial workshop and shed provide excellent space for projects, practical work, or creative pursuits. Elevated and secure, the property sits well clear of flood and tsunami risk areas, offering both confidence and comfort. Convenience comes with the serenity, as the services, amenities and facilities on offer in the Karamea township five minutes away, and the property is on the rural post network and school bus route. Whether you are seeking a country retreat, a place to raise a family, a productive lifestyle property for permaculture and home-grown food, a peaceful retirement setting or an inspiring environment for art and creation, this home offers a rare and appealing balance of seclusion, beauty and practical living. For further information or to arrange a viewing, please call Paul. (Price indication - $625,000).
