700 Cable Bay Road, Cable Bay, Nelson

Postcard living

Nestled amidst serene bushland and echoing with the melodies of native birdlife, this postcard-perfect waterfront haven offers unparalleled tranquility just a leisurely 25-minute drive from the city. Adorned in the rich hues of dark-stained Lawson cypress, the residence boasts three bedrooms, a recently renovated bathroom, a second toilet, a spacious lounge and dining area complete with cozy window seats framing breathtaking vistas, a separate TV room, a study, and a charming sleepout.
Outside your kitchen window, wood pigeons perch atop majestic Nikau palms, while tui birds flutter amongst the flax flowers in the garden. Meanwhile, royal spoonbills and herons gracefully explore the nearby estuary. Launch your kayak from the bottom of the 916sqm garden or simply unwind on the sheltered decks while soaking in the mesmerizing views.
Designed by award-winning architect David Wallace, the soaring ceilings in the open-plan living area with mezzanine floor are contrasted by more intimate spaces for quiet times with decks either side to suit wind and weather.
Native timbers, many of which are recycled, grace the interiors, lending a sense of warmth and character. Abundant storage options, along with an approved log fire and a new heat pump, ensure year-round comfort and convenience.
From the chef's kitchen, you can savor the sunrise over Delaware Bay, while evenings are best spent on the deck with a glass of wine, admiring the sunset illuminating Pepin Island.
Cable Bay is a coveted sanctuary, a collection of a limited number of houses and a neighbourly feel of like-minded people who enjoy company as well as privacy.
Distinguished by its drive-on access, eliminating the need for any descending steps, this home stands as one of the finest in the Bay. Its unique architecture, highlighted by a curving roofline mirrored in the balustrading and professionally landscaped gardens, is a testament to its timeless elegance.
