833 Collingwood-Puponga Road, Pakawau, Tasman

Paradise found in Pakawau

Pristine Golden Bay occasionally offers something extra special, and this is one of those occasions. This outstanding 3.64 hectare block has the perfect elevation to capture magnificent Panoramic views of Golden Bay. Surrounded by bush-clad hills, the property has been embellished by the planting of over 4000 native trees in the last 20 years, creating a haven of tranquility. The abundance of bird life brings the bush alive; as the Tui and Bellbirds fade with the day, the Morepork welcomes in the night. The stunning 3 bedroom home, architecturally designed by Min Hall, blends perfectly with the environment, almost co-existing with the land upon which it sits, and is largely self-sustaining. With a rolling lawn running down to a picturesque pond, there is plenty of space for the children to play and explore. The cedar clad exterior compliments the variety of interior timbers, and the kitchen features a Rayburn solid fuel/wood cooker which combines with solar panels, to help heat the water and radiators throughout the home. The gas hob and electric wall oven also provide the home chef with plenty of options. Internal access garage, and separate double garage, offer excellent storage for summer toys, complimented by a stylish woodshed. There is also a 30,000 litre rain-collecting water tank. The master bedroom opens onto a balcony with stunning views, a perfect spot for morning coffee. On a calm star-lit evening, enjoy a relaxing soak in the outside bath surrounded by the rugged beauty that is Kahurangi National Park. This property enjoys plenty of local options to entertain. Pakawau beach below is ideal for swimming, kayaking, boating and fishing. The Heaphy Track is nearby, as is the magnificent Wharariki beach. Take a stroll along Farewell Spit, or pop into one of the nearby cafes, or bars, including the well-known Mussel Inn. The charming town of Collingwood is only a stones throw away. This tranquil property, has a sophisticated, yet casual, feeling of warmth and sanctuary. Make this summer the best one yet.
