580 Mackay Pass Road, Golden Bay, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

This Golden Bay farmhouse on an acre of land is affordable, private, and packed with potential.

Located 16kms inland from the seaside town of Collingwood, the beautiful beaches of Golden Bay are within easy reach, as are the bush walks of Kahuarangi and the fabulous dark night sky. The famous Langford Store is just down the road and the kids will love the adventure playground at the hall - where they have the best Christmas parties ever!

Separated from the farm many years ago, this flat acres boasts fertile soils and a reliable water source and is ideal for families, hobby farmers, and anyone keen to live a sustainable lifestyle. Organic for 11 years, there's plenty of room to grow veggies, keep chickens, ducks, maybe goats; or to simply enjoy the peaceful setting sheltered behind the trees.

Inside, this 1920's farmhouse was built to last and retains the charm of yesteryear. It is a Doer Upper for sure, and modern wall linings, insulation, plumbing and wiring mean some of the big jobs are already done, leaving you to add your own personal touches. You can control lights etc from your phone with the Smart Home system. Open-plan living is warm and sunny, with a classic wood burner and french doors opening onto the covered veranda. The kitchen has that good old-fashioned feel, when the kitchen table was the heart of any home! The covered back porch is a great utility area and leads to the wood store and handy home office. There is a single lock up garage, a large tunnel house and several sheds of various ages dotted about the grounds.

This is a call to action from my clients, who are heading away on a new adventure. If you are looking for space and seclusion without the price tag that coastal living demands, then this one is for you!
