Description
Opportunities like this don’t come around often—and when they do, you either grab them with both hands or watch them slip through your fingers.
So, what’s on offer?
Not just one bach, but two—plenty of space for friends, family, and unforgettable holidays.
The main bach features an open-plan layout with a spacious kitchen and lounge that flow seamlessly onto a large deck with stunning views out to the bay. It’s wired for a generator, with gas cooking, a wetback hot water system, and electric when running on the generator. Inside, there’s a generous master bedroom and a second large room cleverly divided into two areas—one with a double bed and the other with two bunks.
The second bach, although not yet completed and without a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC), was relocated and lovingly rebuilt from the ground up by the vendors’ late father. It’s a true work of craftsmanship. While some finishing is certainly needed, once complete it will be a unique and very special retreat. Designed for hosting and shared living, its layout includes a large open-plan kitchen and living space, big enough from the whole tribe, and two wings—each with two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom.
Both baches are being sold as is, where is, with furnishings and contents included.
Set on 49 hectares of land—previously farmed and used for rough grazing—the property now features mature plantings of Macrocarpa, Lusitanica, and Australian Blackwood, with the remainder regenerating into beautiful native bush. There’s also real potential for income through carbon credits, or harvesting down the track.
Outdoor lovers will appreciate the added bonus of hunting opportunities across the property, with healthy populations of wild pigs and red deer, or just walking amongst the birds and opening up all the old tracks and being amongst nature and bird song. And of course, the fishing speaks for itself—a boat shed, multiple utility sheds, and a convenient spot to launch your boat right from the beach make weekend getaways and holidays that much easier.
Just to top things off the Bach also comes with its own mooring, just in case you want to just boat in.
Located just two hours drive from both Nelson and Blenheim, this is a rare find that combines seclusion, comfort, and opportunity.
If this all has your attention, and you want the Kiwi dream, This IS your opportunity to actually have it!
