Eighty metres from the open coast and tucked within a magical embrace of native bush and tropical garden, is a piece of heaven in a property that may well win your heart.

Glenduan is one of those rare, declining number of unspoiled Kiwi seaside communities, evoking a simpler time, memories of endless summer by the sea.

Spend the day exploring, or taking sea or hillside walks, fall asleep at night to the sound of the constantly changing energy of Tasman Bay caressing the Boulder Bank and wake to look through pohutakawa and nikau palm at the day's moods of Tasman Bay and farmland paddocks.

Tuck the surfboard under your arm and head down to your local low tide break or head off for a morning kayak, foil or windsurf, or even to spear a summer kingfish!
Come home for coffee on the front deck, watching the tui feeding on pohutukawa or kowhai nectar.

There's the relaxed feel of a beach house, but a superior one at that. Its two-level layout has many gorgeous features, including its 920sqm section full of lovely trees, ferns, flax, and grasses.

The Lawson cypress board and batten-clad house comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms with the opportunity to adjust its layout to suit children, guests, or even for B&B.

Built in 1989, but stunningly rejuvenated, the house is full of comforts; a fabulous kitchen, delightful master bedroom opening to the front deck, and a spectacular new bathroom.

Gleaming matai floorboards catch the eye as you enter the living area. In fact, the whole house is dotted with beautifully created timber joinery; shelving, bathroom furniture, built-in outdoor seating and more.

The decor is Beach House and Garden, a delightful use of wall colours to set the mood, lovely lighting and blinds that completely suit the seaside theme. Well-made paths, a garage, in board and batten, and a large storage shed are part of excellent infrastructure.
