A true lifestyle retreat, this Bird Road property offers a rare opportunity to step into a setting where peace, privacy and nature define the rhythm of daily life.
A comfortable two-bedroom cottage, filled with all-day sun and warmed by a woodburner, provides an immediate base to enjoy the property while you plan ahead. Gas cooking is already in place, an existing 12-volt off-grid solar setup services the home, with wiring configured for 240-volt supply. A simple inverter addition or generator will complete the setup.
Water is supplied via easement from a 37-metre bore drawing pure water from the earth, providing a unique and sustainable resource that will appeal to those who value independence, self-reliance and a thoughtful approach to living off the land.
This property will particularly resonate with those seeking a more intentional way of life. The current owners have fostered a quietly connected network of like-minded neighbours, individuals who share a commitment to sustainability, resilience and respect for the land, independent lives, enriched by shared values.
The elevated building platform presents an exceptional opportunity to bring your vision to life. From this vantage point, the views are truly captivating, some of the best in the Bay, stretching beyond Farewell Spit on a clear day, providing a sense of openness and serenity that will inspire any new build. Building plans are available and an engineered wastewater system is already designed, offering a considered pathway forward.
The land itself is a sanctuary: pockets of north-facing native bush and established fruit trees create a private, sunlit environment, encouraging gardens to flourish and children to explore. Open grass areas provide space for recreation and the natural setting is enriched by the uninterrupted song of native birds. Mornings bring birdsong, days offer sunlight and space, and nights reveal a sky filled with stars, untouched by light pollution, a property that nurtures both body and spirit.
Positioned close to beautiful beaches and within easy reach of the inland track of Abel Tasman National Park, the property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access. Tākaka township is just a 30-minute drive and Pōhara Village closer, providing shops, cafes and services while allowing you to return to your private retreat at the end of the day.
More than just a lifestyle, this is an opportunity to create something meaningful and enduring.
Please note: The property is subject to a boundary adjustment (2.63 hectares down to 2.23 hectares).
