On the Golden Mile, this is one of the few Queen Charlotte Sound properties that faces due north and holds the sun from first light to last, every month of the year. A private track winds down through native bush to a golden sand beach you will rarely share, with your own deep-water mooring off it and a spot behind the beach for the dinghy.

The outlook runs close to 240 degrees. Down the Grove Arm and out towards the outer Sound, with the Cook Strait ferries in the distance as they come down from Tory Channel into Picton and back out again. Bush ridgelines on either side, and no other house in the sightline.

The home is set into the hillside below the road, sheltered on both sides by bush gullies, open plan and full of light, with a view from every room and an expansive main deck off the lounge that does most of the living through summer. Three bedrooms, the third being a detached studio sleepout set apart from the house so guests are not on top of you. Native bush covers most of the 2,540sqm section, and the birdsong comes with it.

Sealed road access, 20 minutes from Picton and 25 minutes from Havelock, with grid power, Starlink, garaging and parking for a boat, caravan or motorhome that is genuinely rare in this part of the Sounds. The property is fully compliant and consented, that work already done and paid for, and what happens from here is entirely the next owner's call.

Opportunities like this are seldom seen in such a prime location. Seize the moment and arrange your private viewing today to claim your slice of paradise on the Golden Mile!
