Escape to your perfect treetop retreat!

With views over Nelson city and embraced by the leafy surrounds of Cleveland Terrace, this distinctive home offers a rare combination of chalet-like character, privacy and connection to nature, all within easy reach of the city and Maitai River.

Recently refreshed, the home blends contemporary comfort with the warmth of natural materials. New paint, updated lighting, and a repainted roof complement original features including Macrocarpa ceilings, timber detailing, dramatic raked rooflines and expansive glazing.

The upper level is the heart of the home, where the kitchen, dining and living areas come together beneath soaring ceilings. Generous windows draw in abundant natural light and frame an elevated outlook across the Maitai Valley, Nelson City and beyond.

French doors extend the living outdoors to sun-filled decks that sit amongst the treetops, creating an exceptional setting for morning coffee, long lunches or relaxed evenings as the light shifts across the city and surrounding hills.

Inside, the open-plan layout has been designed for easy everyday living. There is space to cook, gather, work and unwind while remaining connected, with the combination of timber, light and outlook creating an atmosphere that feels warm, calm and connected.

Downstairs, three generous bedrooms offer flexibility for a small family, guests or working from home. Large windows bring in natural light and leafy views, while built-in storage adds practical functionality.

A tiled bathroom on this level includes a shower, vanity and toilet, with the laundry neatly incorporated into the space.

Directly off Cleveland Terrace, a substantial steel-founded drive-on landing provides convenient off-street parking for two vehicles, along with additional practical space for bins and recycling.

What sets this property apart is the way its strong design character is balanced by genuine liveability. It feels private without being isolated, elevated without being removed, and distinctive without compromising comfort.

For professional couples, smaller families or buyers looking for something beyond the conventional, 129 Cleveland Terrace offers a home with atmosphere, individuality and an enviable connection to both nature and the city.
