194 Parsons Road, Kaikoura, Marlborough

Set on 2 hectares in the sought-after Hapuku area, this beautifully designed four-bedroom rural retreat offers the perfect balance of sustainability, comfort, and timeless elegance. Surrounded by native kanuka and alive with birdlife, the home blends seamlessly into its natural environment while offering all the luxuries of modern living.

Crafted with eco-conscious materials — including wool insulation, straw walls, curved lime plaster, and solid oak flooring — every feature has been thoughtfully considered. Handpicked interiors bring refined style, giving the home the warmth and charm of a country living magazine spread.

The spacious floor plan features four bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. At its heart is a beautiful timeless kitchen with a large curved stainless-steel bench, flowing effortlessly into light-filled open-plan living and dining areas. These extend outdoors to a covered patio and lawn, creating the perfect setting for both entertaining and unwinding.

On the upper terrace, a stylish and private two-bedroom tiny home offers endless possibilities — from boutique Airbnb accommodation to a welcoming space for friends and family. With multiple living zones, gas cooking, a separate bathroom, and stunning views over Kaikoura township, it’s a retreat in its own right.

The property comes complete with high-quality chattels, two sheds, established fruit trees, productive vegetable gardens, a chicken run, and paddocks for sheep. Sustainability is at the core of its design, offering the opportunity to live in harmony with nature without compromising comfort.

Currently operating as a successful luxury Airbnb, this unique property can be enjoyed as a full-time residence or as an income-generating lifestyle investment.
