Rarely does a property offer this much land, privacy, and lifestyle opportunity just 6 minutes drive from Nelson City Centre. Set across 7.23 hectares in the picturesque and sheltered Maitai Valley, this property offers the space and tranquillity of a private lifestyle retreat along with genuine long-term land value, all within easy reach of the city.
