195 Horton Road, Tasman, Tasman

Exclusive olive estate - will be sold

Our vendors are on an adventure abroad and their bags are packed for their relocation in Autumn. This beautiful home will be sold so take action now. This is bliss, living among rolling hillside olive groves in a striking home of international presence, rare quality of design, build, and inclusions. Indulgence without ostentation. This feels like a slice of Tuscany or Provence. Built in 2021, the 339sqm home has four bedrooms, three living areas, kitchen with scullery, a classical front terrace, a workshop/studio with bathroom and bedroom (B&B potential), and large double garage with storeroom. On two levels, a wheelchair-size lift provides future proofing. Life is a joy, looking out over the olives, a large duck pond to countryside, Tasman Bay and western mountains. Hawks fly by at eye level. Tui and bellbird sing among the flax flowers at the bottom of the grassy slopes. A farmer makes hay across the way. A “lifestyle” property? It is much more than that. Beulah Ridge is an exclusive, private, estate of 23 hectares with just eleven prestigious homes. You have all the benefits of land minus the constant chores. The house is on about 4,000sqm of grounds, judiciously sited for maximum privacy and peace. The beautifully established 3,500 tree olive grove is managed by a company in which you are an 11th shareholder. Proceeds from oil sales and from a rental house contribute to upkeep, meaning minimal outgoings. Covenants call for European/Tuscan architectural style. No. 195 is a superb example, clad in thick hand-applied plaster, a terracotta tile-look roof (lightweight metal), and deep timber soffits. A superb central kitchen is flanked by a library/office, and dining room, lounge, and sunroom, each rich in detail. One double bedroom is downstairs and three more, including a magnificent master suite with balcony, are upstairs, past a remarkable stained glass, arched window. Designed by Redbox Architects, the home and outbuildings reveal impressive details at every turn. Contact Julie Ambrose for a viewing.
