A light-filled architectural home positioned between the coast, Abel Tasman and the wider Tasman region.
Set in a quiet pocket of Riwaka, 67 Dehra Doon Road offers a considered way to experience one of the Tasman region's most sought-after lifestyle locations. Surrounded by bush and established planting, the property feels private and removed, while remaining remarkably well connected to the beaches, boating, hospitality and natural attractions that draw people to this part of New Zealand.
Kaiteriteri Beach is just 10 minutes away, placing one of the country's most recognised beachside destinations within easy reach. From here, the Abel Tasman National Park and Mārahau are approximately 15 minutes away, providing access to walking tracks, beaches, kayaking and boat launches. Motueka township is also around 10 minutes away for everyday amenities and services, while Richmond is approximately 35 minutes and Nelson Airport around 50 minutes by car.
The appeal is in the balance: close enough to make the most of the region, yet sufficiently removed to return home to space, privacy and a quieter pace.
Designed with its setting firmly in mind, the home is clean and contemporary in form, with a north-facing orientation that draws natural light deep into the main living areas and master suite. Expansive glazing frames the surrounding landscape and captures a clear outlook to the sea, creating a strong connection between the interior and its environment.
Inside, the material palette is warm and restrained. Engineered timber flooring runs through the principal living areas, complemented by wool carpet in the bedrooms and timber-lined ceilings that add natural warmth. The open and functional layout allows the living spaces to connect easily with the outdoors, while the abundance of glazing ensures the changing light and surrounding landscape remain part of everyday life.
Beyond the main residence, a substantial former tobacco shed provides an unusually versatile addition to the property. Whether used as a workshop, studio, storage, business space or for hobbies and recreational equipment, it adds a level of flexibility that is difficult to replicate. Self-contained accommodation provides further options for guests, extended family or independent use.
The 2.67-hectare property combines a defined building platform with established planting and steeper natural terrain, creating a setting where privacy comes naturally. On-site water collection and storage further support an independent and self-sufficient way of living.
The location also places an extensive collection of Tasman hospitality and cultural destinations within easy reach. Historic local institutions such as the Riwaka Hotel and Moutere Inn sit alongside Toad Hall, while Rimu Bar, The Apple Shed and Jelly Fish in Māpua are all within the wider network of places that make the region such an appealing destination. Upper Moutere's wineries and the region's many independent art galleries add another dimension for those wanting to explore beyond the coast.
For those drawn to the Tasman region for its beaches, boating, national parks, food, wine and outdoor lifestyle, 67 Dehra Doon Road provides a private base from which to enjoy it all.
This is a home for those who want to be close to what makes Tasman special, while enjoying a sense of space and privacy. A light-filled architectural residence, generous land, additional accommodation and versatile outbuildings come together in a setting that offers both connection and retreat.
From morning light across the living spaces to afternoons at Kaiteriteri, boat trips from Mārahau or evenings exploring the region's restaurants and wineries, the property is positioned to make the most of the lifestyle that brings people to this part of New Zealand.
67 Dehra Doon Road offers space to live privately, while keeping the best of coastal and rural Tasman within easy reach.
