This is More Than a Bach it's about creating a Life of Your Own
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, follow the track through native bush, where glow worms appear on warm evenings and the outside world begins to disappear. Then step onto the expansive deck, settle in, and let life unfold at nature's pace.
Dolphins and orca regularly pass through the bay, boats quietly make their way across the water, and the iconic mail boat arrives with supplies - reminders that life here moves to a rhythm all of its own.
Wake to spectacular sunrises stretching across the bay. At night, leave the windows open, lie beneath an incredible canopy of stars and drift off to the haunting call of the morepork echoing through the bush.
Perhaps the greatest luxury here is something money can't easily buy - privacy, tranquillity and the feeling of being truly removed from the pressures of everyday life. It's a place where you can switch off, reconnect with nature and rediscover what really matters.
Off-Grid Freedom
The property is genuinely off-grid, providing the freedom to live comfortably without relying on mains services - and importantly, no power bills.
A thoughtfully designed solar power system comfortably services the property, with generator backup available when required. Crystal-clear drinking water and an abundant supply of firewood further add to the property's self-sufficient nature.
It's a simpler way of living, with fewer ongoing costs and greater independence from the outside world.
Boating is easy with a 3-tonne mooring and access to the community jetty. Ownership also includes a one-tenth share of approximately 80 hectares of native bush - opening up opportunities for walking, hunting, trapping or simply exploring a remarkable piece of Sounds wilderness. For those who like to explore, 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.
Follow the private walking track to the secluded Tira Ora or stroll down to foreshore for a swim on your own private beach, then spend an afternoon in the gazebo, gently swaying in the hanging chair while taking in the beauty of Tamuakawawe Bay.
Room for the People You Love
There's plenty of space for family and friends, with expansive lawns perfect for pitching tents and creating the sort of summer holidays children and grandchildren remember for decades. And getting here is part of the adventure, arrive by your own boat, use the excellent water taxi service or take advantage of the regular mail boat, with additional passenger services operating during the summer months.
This Is the Real Sounds
This isn't a polished, pretentious luxury retreat - and that's precisely its appeal. It's something far more valuable: an honest, genuine Marlborough Sounds lifestyle. A place where memories are made, wellbeing comes naturally and life slows to a pace we often forget exists.
If you're looking to escape the noise, reconnect with nature, work remotely, become more self-sufficient, reduce your ongoing costs, or simply find somewhere you can truly breathe again, perhaps you've just found your place.
