* Black Point, Pelorus Sound, Marlborough

Land bank or live it up

Black Point is a place that many have boated passed, but never had the privilege of visiting. Located just out of Havelock, there isn't a lot of land parcels in the area, let alone opportunities to purchase here. It is not only another gorgeous part of the sounds, but it is tranquil, sunny, and easily accessed by boat. The series of little bays that make up this stretch of the sounds are fringed with an assortment of oyster-clad beaches and look over the beginning of the Pelorus Sound.

Consisting of 36.44 ha (90 acres) worth of regenerating natives, this property could be your new glamping spot, hunting block or prime location to build something extravagant. With natural water sources running all year round and great sunlight hours there is every opportunity to go off-grid and live off the land. The great growing climate combined with the fishing off the jetty (which you would have a 1/5th share of) for Snapper or Kahawai as well as the hunting for pigs, deer and goats to support this kind of self-sufficient existence should you get sick of the hustle and bustle of town.

A forestry road zig zags up through the property, highlighting potential build sites at various altitudes with a mesmerising mixture of views of the Pelorus and Mahau Sounds. An existing building platform is positioned to the south-west of the block. The skid site has a little hut already installed and provides elevated 180 degree views which are sure to impress. A climb up to the ridgeline where the towering provides northen views long into the Pelorus & Kenepuru Sounds and huge, towering Beech forest.

Boat or kayak accross to Moetapu Bay and beaches for a picnic or enjoy dining at local lodges such as Raetahi, Portage, Te Mahia and Te Rawa, all just a swift boat ride away.

The vendors have had something else come in to their lives that means that building their dream Sounds home at Black Point can no longer happen.

Waterfront sections this close to town are becoming increasingly harder to find, so give me a call today.
