Owning this property isn't simply about buying a bach - it's about embracing an experience that very few people ever get to call their own.
From the community jetty you follow the track through native bush, where glow worms appear on warm evenings, setting the tone for the peace and beauty that awaits.
From the expansive deck, life unfolds at nature's pace. Dolphins and orca regularly pass through the bay, while boats quietly make their way across the water and the iconic mail boat regularly arrives with supplies, reminding you that life here moves to a rhythm all of its own.
Wake each morning to spectacular sunrises stretching across the bay. At night, leave the windows open, lie in bed beneath an incredible canopy of stars, and drift off to the haunting call of the morepork echoing through the bush.
Perhaps the greatest luxury this property offers is something money can't easily buy - complete privacy, absolute tranquillity, and the feeling of being truly safe. It's a place where you can switch off from the pressures of everyday life and reconnect with what really matters.
The property is designed for comfortable, self-sufficient living. Crystal-clear drinking water, an abundant supply of firewood, and a thoughtfully designed solar power system comfortably service the property, with a generator available as back up if needed.
A 3-tonne mooring and community jetty makes boating effortless, Ownership also includes a one-tenth share of 80 hectares of native bush, providing opportunities for walking, hunting, trapping, or simply exploring this remarkable landscape.
Climb to the top of the ridge and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views across Tennyson Inlet, Maud Island, D'Urville Island and beyond. Wander the private walking track to the secluded Tira Ora foreshore for a peaceful swim, or spend an afternoon relaxing in the gazebo, gently swaying in the hanging chair while overlooking beautiful Tamuakawawe Bay.
There's plenty of room for family and friends too, with expansive lawns perfect for pitching tents and creating unforgettable summer holidays that children and grandchildren will remember for years to come.
Whether you choose to arrive by your own boat or make use of the excellent water taxi and regular mail boat services, access is easy and reliable throughout the year, with additional passenger services operating during the summer months.
This isn't a polished, pretentious luxury retreat. It's something far more valuable. It's an honest, genuine Marlborough Sounds lifestyle where memories are made, wellbeing comes naturally, and life slows to the pace it was always meant to be.
If you're looking to escape the noise, reconnect with nature, work remotely, become more self-sufficient, or simply find a place where you can truly breathe again, then you've found it.
