288 wakapuaka road, Wakapuaka, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman

A rare Nelson lifestyle opportunity offering elevated sea views, space, and future potential on 2.08 hectares, just minutes from town. The property features an obvious elevated building site which captures expansive sea views and presents an exceptional position for a future home, subject to the usual council consents. Set within a Rural – Lower Density Small Holdings Area, this is a compelling option for buyers seeking lifestyle, outlook, and long-term certainty close to Nelson.

From the elevated position, the sea views open out beautifully, providing light, scale, and a sense of openness that is increasingly hard to secure so close to the city. While no building consents are currently in place, the site is clear and logical, offering buyers the opportunity to explore a future build designed to maximise sun, privacy, and views through the normal planning process.

The 2.08 hectares provide genuine lifestyle scale without being overwhelming — ideal for those wanting space, privacy, gardens, animals, or a quieter way of living without the demands of a large rural farm. Zoning as Rural – Lower Density Small Holdings supports the established lifestyle character of the area and offers reassurance around long-term use and amenity.

The existing home is older and functional, offering comfortable accommodation while future plans are considered. It provides a practical base to live in, rent, or use as a stepping stone toward a future build, allowing buyers to move at their own pace rather than feeling forced into immediate decisions.

Located on Wakapuaka Road, the property enjoys a peaceful, semi-rural coastal feel while remaining only minutes from Nelson, schools, and everyday amenities. This is lifestyle buying driven by position, land, outlook, and long-term potential, not just the house alone.

Being sold privately, buyers deal directly with the owner — clear communication and a straightforward process. Genuine enquiries are welcomed, and the vendor is open to discussing price with serious buyers who recognise the value of the land, views, and location. If you’re searching for a Nelson lifestyle property with sea views and future upside, this opportunity deserves closer inspection.
