56 Brabant Drive, Mapua, Tasman

Bay magic, celebrate the high life

With sheer space and a panoramic vista that's absolutely intoxicating, this substantial, quality home has claims as one of Ruby Bay's best sited and most impressive.

An astonishing Bay vista from Mapua to D'Urville Island is the headline, and the details are outstanding in this home built for extended family and friends and for entertaining in style.

With a self-contained "apartment," huge living space and wrap-around decks for all-weather outdoor pleasure, you'll go far to find a better place for retirees seeking indulgence and tranquillity and families wanting lifestyle attractions of nearby beaches, boating and vineyards.

There's sheer space on offer; 280 square metres of living and beautifully planted, landscaped grounds of 2,916 square metres with lawns and paths with an accent on simple care.

The arrangement of house space is impressive: you can live life cosily as a couple or host memorable parties using every bit of the huge lounge, two dining areas and decks around the house to suit morning coffee or summer evening cocktails.

And then there's the bonus of the downstairs accommodation; perfect for guests or family with its kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and lounge and access to its own deck, garden and parking.

House details are impressive, from the rimu timbers to the heated floors throughout, to the lofty lounge ceiling and the extra-large garage with dedicated workshop area and room for the boat or motorhome. Attractive cladding is a mix of cedar and brick. Amenities include double-glazing, HRV for warm, sound system and a very private master suite with its own balcony to take in the vista.

This is an exclusive neighbourhood of fine homes and like-minded neighbours enjoying the privilege of Ruby Bay's top spot. Nelson is a comfortable 30-35-minute drive, Mapua is just down the road for lunch or to launch the boat. There are vineyards, bike rides, beaches and so much more to enjoy in beautiful Tasman.

This property ticks all the boxes. Call Nina James for a viewing today.
