Some homes simply have an essence that captures your heart, and this beautifully restored chapel is one of them. Rich in history and thoughtfully transformed into a warm and welcoming home, it blends timeless character with modern comfort in a way that's truly captivating.

As you step inside, the home's lovely and homely feel is instantly captured. The downstairs living area features classic timber flooring and a freestanding wood burner with wetback and tiled surrounds, providing warmth and creating a cosy space to relax and unwind. Large windows flood the home with natural light, continuing throughout the property and offering bright, sun-filled spaces all year round.

A timber staircase, complemented by a statement pendant light, leads to a second living space or third bedroom tucked beneath sloping ceilings and exposed timber beams. Soft carpeting and a large skylight add to the cosy ambience, making this the perfect place to unwind. Beyond a charming arched doorway lies the master suite, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, where the beautifully preserved stained-glass windows provide a stunning reminder of the home's unique past.

Back downstairs, you’ll discover a second bedroom and the family bathroom, complete with a classic clawfoot bathtub adding a touch of timeless elegance. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering modern appliances and generous storage while distinctive flooring adds personality to the space. The adjoining laundry provides further built-in storage and the convenience of a heat pump. French doors open effortlessly to the backyard and barbecue area, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow for summer entertaining or peaceful mornings with a coffee in hand.

It doesn’t end here, with the outside offering just as much charm and versatility as the interior. The generous 680sqm section provides plenty of space to enjoy, with expansive lawns, a productive vegetable garden, and an abundance of established fruit trees including feijoa, lemon, mandarin, olive, fig, and grape vines.

Tucked away at the rear of the home, the sleepout is complete with a mezzanine, providing additional accommodation or the perfect space for hobbies and creative pursuits. The property also features a bike shed, garden shed, storage shed, and wood shed, ensuring every practical need has been thoughtfully considered.

Exceptionally private, full of charm, and just a short drive from Motueka, this beautiful home is one you’ll fall in love with from the moment you arrive. To arrange your private viewing, contact Rebecca or Amy today.
