179 Tokongawa Drive, Split Apple Rock, Kaiteriteri, Tasman

Exceptional waterfront retreat

This stunning waterfront residence is situated on the edge of the idyllic Abel Tasman National Park. Discretely nestled into the hillside and cascading over three levels, the house is surrounded by mature native bush, birdsong and water lapping the foreshore; with northerly views sweeping across Sandy Bay to the National Park's pristine coastline.

The sublime architecture with fine detailing features soaring vertical spaces, extensive internal and outdoor living, four bedrooms, heated infinity-edge pool, spa and wine cellar. Built by the present owners in 2002 recent alterations include a copper roof. Local council resource consents and detailed architect plans allow for detached guest accommodation and large single garage.

The house is secluded from neighbours and the road. A private walking track meanders down to the foreshore, with Marahau village accessible across the sands for two hours either side of low tide. Split Apple Rock beach is just 10 minutes walk away.

In addition to the land area of 5,200sqm the property benefits from 1,800sqm of Queen's Chain foreshore land.
