Here's a lifestyle opportunity with a lucrative difference - a new family home with a Scandinavian inspired design is ready for you to enjoy, set in rolling countryside with sea views. Maximised insulation, with passive solar heating design. Warmed by a Metro log burner with wetback and a solar-ready electric hot water cylinder. A transfer system distributes warm air to the second living room.

Yes, this virtually brand-new home (completed in August) has a two-bedroom studio as well, currently earning $350 per week. But there's more - a big block of land, as well, elevated for views to the Kina estuary and Tasman Bay beyond and across to the western mountains.

With 5,728sqm (1.4 acres) to play with, you can create the lifestyle you've been planning in a backdrop of a rustic subdivision of other quality homes, quietly away from the coastal highway yet close to Mapua and Motueka.

The house offers three bedrooms, including master with ensuite bathroom, a family room opening to the outdoors, and a separate lounge.

Attached is a two bedroom, fully self-contained studio, with deck overlooking the country views. It's an ideal way to earn extra income, or to use for in-law accommodation. Or you could simply treat it as extension of the house, giving 5 bedrooms, a total of 198sqm.

The board and batten-clad home sits on a large area of flat grassland, sloping down to a lower area and gully. The whole piece of land is ready for your further development, whether it's a small orchard, native bush or another vision.

The property is part of a subdivision, developed with small ponds and wetland areas and with hundreds of plantings. The house is served by rainwater, fed to three 30,000 litre exterior water tanks. A UV light filter installed for the water.

Tiro Kino Road is a no-through road off Harley Road, just a minutes' drive from the Tasman store and highly regarded Tasman school, Kina beaches and boat launching.
