Enjoy a life-work balance

Deadline Sale Closes Wed 7th Dec 2018 (unless sold prior).
Let's be upfront, this property was affected by Cyclone Gita. The stylish 213sqm family home was left unaffected by the event and the 11.09 hectares of near flat land with the creek meandering thru is now returning to grazing. This special property will appeal to purchasers who have the ability to continue bringing it back to its former glory. The light and warm three-bedroom home features spacious open-plan living, large kitchen with quality appliances, media lounge, study, family bathroom, laundry and additional toilet. The versatile floor-plan could be easily reconfigured to suit your particular requirements with options including B&B accommodation; a separate living space for relatives; or even a studio space. Built in 2016 and featuring Colorsteel cladding with contrasting cedar trim, the home stands out crisply against its rural backdrop. The interior captures the holiday feel of the area with features such as ply walls, pressed tin splash-backs, sky lights and plant troughs. A powerful wood burner, heat transfer system, under tile heating, quality insulation, solar panels and thermally broken double glazed windows ensure all-year-round cosiness. For al fresco entertaining in the summer, stacking bi-folds open onto a generous deck where there's plenty of space to relax and enjoy the rural views or star-gaze from the spa. The property also features a 400sqm ex-tobacco shed perfect for a hobbyist or business venture, a double garage, 2 rustic self-contained cottages and sleep-out. These out buildings are as-is-where-is as they were affected by the cyclone. Once renovated the cottages would be ideal for accommodating tourists or woofers. Indeed, the property's location - close to the coastal settlement of Marahau and the nearby Abel Tasman National Park - the bonus of two titles on the land makes it just right for those who wish to work from home, run livestock, grow vegetables or simply enjoy a unique lifestyle in a serene setting.
