21 Suncrest Drive, Tasman, Tasman

Idyllic life-changing lifestyle awaits

If your idea of heaven is a few paddocks for animals, a lovely, large (256sqm), contemporary home in the heart of beautiful Tasman with views to feed the soul, this is a property you must see.

In a prime spot in the aptly named Suncrest Drive, this tranquil property offers the sort of life-changing living that makes suburbia a distant memory.

You have 1.7 hectares of rolling countryside in three, fenced paddocks (all with water) and a home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, set amid large, flat lawns (big enough for a pool) and landscaped, mature but unfussy gardens.

Here's a chance to live peacefully, graze a few animals, keep a pony and, perhaps, plan a more self-sufficient lifestyle on a property that won't demand all your time. A lunch or coffee at Mapua is only a few minutes' drive. It's a safe no-through road environment for children with friendly, welcoming neighbours.

No 21 looks out over countryside to Nelson, the Richmond Ranges, Tasman Bay and D'Urville Island in a generous subdivision where neighbours are a long way off and the sound of native birds or a goat or alpaca is seldom interrupted by a vehicle.

Built in 2015, this is a home fully up to modern standards with double glazing, excellent insulation, higher than normal ceilings and wide hallways to emphasise its space.

You have two lounges, ideal for having your own space or for child/adult separation, and which open to a patio with uninterrupted views or a delightful portico.

The property enjoys good quality, state-of-the-art filtered rainwater, stored in two in-ground tanks. The wastewater system is by way of a contemporary bio-septic, field dispersal.

Exterior cladding is a mix of plaster and Linea board and the roof is a steel tile profile. Water heating is gas and the home has an inbuilt sprinkler system.

While you feel in the heart of the country, you are just minutes from Mapua with Motueka or Richmond handy for shopping. The cycle trail is close by and there is a choice of walks.
