231 Aniseed Valley Road, Hope, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

From the moment you arrive, this stunning architecturally designed home welcomes you with warmth, character, and breathtaking views stretching across the Richmond Ranges and out over Nelson Tasman. Designed by David Jerram and crafted in 2003, it's a home that beautifully blends timeless design with natural materials and a sense of place that's hard to find.

Built with Otago schist and traditional pebble-dash stucco, the home's charm continues inside with rich native timbers - matai floors and staircase, macrocarpa ceilings, a totara breakfast bar, and bespoke black walnut and rimu and jarrah finishes. Every detail tells a story, from beams reclaimed from the Nelson Wharf to an open fire that invites you to curl up and soak in the view.

This generous home offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully laid out to suit families or guests. Upstairs you'll find the master suite, complete with a bathroom, separate toilet, and office, all capturing elevated views. Downstairs, one wing of the home includes three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a rumpus/living area - currently utilized as a successful Airbnb, with its own lockable internal access. On the opposite side of the home sits the fifth bedroom and another separate bathroom, providing the perfect retreat for guests or extended family.

Outdoors, this property truly shines. Enjoy summer afternoons by the 9 x - 4.5 metre pool, wander through the native gardens and olive grove, or relax beside the pond while listening to the Tui, Kereru and bellbirds. There's a fenced vegetable garden, orchard bursting with fruit, and space for everyone - even the family dog has a cosy insulated kennel.

At the end of the driveway, a substantial garage complex (10m deep x - 7.5m) offers exceptional space - including a large bay (10m x- 4m), a smaller bay (3.5m x - 8m), and an additional 3.5m x - 2m shed at the rear - ideal for a large caravan, campervan and boat or extra storage for your hobbies, or a workshop.

Homes of this calibre, combining architecture, craftsmanship, and breathtaking outlooks, rarely come to the market. Whether you're seeking a forever family home, a retreat, or a place to share with guests, this is your opportunity to secure something truly extraordinary.
