Waterfront paradise

With a prized and substantial waterfrontage section, this Mapua site alone is remarkable but when you see the stunning beach house you realise this is a truly special paradise.

With your own heated pool as well as a boat ramp with powered winch and high-tide swims from the front gate, this is a home where you can kick back and relax in style.
No expense has been spared on its design, build and detail. The decorative gate and phoenix palm at the front is just the start of the delights.
This is a top-quality home, a stone's throw from Mapua cafes and 30 minutes to Nelson. Designed by architect Mark Feilding to take advantage of the stunning location and built to high specifications, its purpose is easy beach living, not stuffy formality.
A 0.65 acre section assures privacy - and the garden is as remarkable as the house, from its stone walls and striking front gate to its ponds and fountain, circular drive, splendid phoenix palms and lovely beach front natives draping over the front lawn.
With board and batten cladding, lovely wooden floors, gabled roof with skylights and exposed rafters and numerous French doors opening to sheltered decks and beachfront lawn, the design is outstanding.
Sun bathes the 174sqm house of three bedrooms (all with ensuite bathrooms), including a spectacular master with its own open fire, deck and outside bath, separate dining room and living room with the sea vista.
Three bathrooms with heated floors, a fabulous kitchen, the pool, wood-fired pizza oven and sound system inside and out, security system and numerous reverse-cycle air conditioners add to the features.
Wonderful details abound, from the dedicated bar to the lighting in gardens and deck areas to make evenings a wonderland for entertaining and the full height bathroom tiling and bespoke vanity units.
