Imagine waking up to the mountains, enjoying your morning coffee while the village slowly comes to life, then heading down to Lake Rotoiti for a swim, a boat trip or a walk.

Welcome to St Arnaud. A place where life moves a little slower, the outdoors is part of everyday living and the community is small, friendly and welcoming.

St Arnaud is Nelson’s only alpine destination and a much loved place to live, holiday and escape the everyday. With a local school, it’s also a wonderful option for families wanting a change from city life, while Richmond is just over an hour away.

Set moments from Lake Rotoiti and surrounded by Nelson Lakes National Park this beautifully presented home is move in ready.

The private master suite has a walk in wardrobe and ensuite, while two further bedrooms and a second bathroom provide plenty of room for family and friends.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is warm and welcoming, with a cosy fireplace for winter and easy flow outdoors for summer. The fully insulated and lined garage with ranch sliders provides an excellent extra space for guests, hobbies, bikes, ski gear or simply spreading out.

Outside, the easy care gardens mean you can spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying the lifestyle.

Walk the trails, mountain bike, fish, boat and swim in summer, then make the most of Rainbow Ski Area and the mountains in winter. There’s always another adventure waiting.

This is more than a home. It’s the chance to slow down, breathe a little deeper and become part of a special alpine community here in St Arnaud.

Whether you’re looking for a permanent home, a holiday escape or somewhere for the family to gather, this is the one.

Summer is coming. Imagine lazy mornings by the lake, afternoons exploring the mountains and evenings around the fire with family and friends. Your St Arnaud escape is waiting.
