17 Hunt Terrace, Wakefield, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman, 7025, New Zealand

Iconic in the historic Wakefield village, this hilltop sanctuary is testament to the current owners’ dedication to developing a beautiful arboretum, including your own maple garden that you enjoy from the kitchen window, and hundreds of spring daffodils, bluebells and hellebores that bloom in spring beneath graceful birches. The 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom dwelling started life in the 1970s, and has been developed over the years to include a 2nd level. 4 bedrooms and the living areas are on the ground floor, with the entire top floor dedicated to enjoying that amazing panoramic view to the Tasman Bay, with glimpses of D’Urville Island on a clear day – it would make an amazing main bedroom! The outlook from the stunning granite topped kitchen bench through to the maple garden is peaceful and serene – if nature’s beauty matters to you, and the prospect of not having neighbours on 3 boundaries appeals, come and see this very special property. One of the very special things about living here is the incredibly abundant birdlife and song, the owners say they will certainly miss that. Adjacent to the home is a 80m2 garage/workshop, and there is more parking than you may expect in such an elevated spot. The balance of the land is in 6 paddocks, and there is a stable if the kids have ponies, a pigsty building, and a container for farm equipment storage. There are no issues with water here, enjoying 2 units of the rural water scheme, plus a connection to the town supply. After more than 40 years in this stunning position, it is now time for the current owners to down size, so please be in touch to organise a private viewing.
