147 Haycock Road, Hope, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

For the buyer who wants more than a standard family home, this Hope property lands differently. Set into the hillside on a substantial 5,435 m² section, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers privacy, scale, and a genuine sense of retreat, complete with a separate 96 sqm shed, 2 full-height bays with a gantry, separate games room, mezzanine floor and amenities.

On the main level, a striking contemporary kitchen with a waterfall island, pendant lighting and generous bench space anchors the open-plan dining and family zone, while a separate lounge offers a quieter place to settle in. Big doors open the home to the deck and pergola-covered entertaining area, so long lunches, evening drinks and everyday meals all happen against a wide green outlook. A separate study near the entry adds another layer of practicality for work or admin.

Bedroom one sits on the ground floor with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while upstairs you have three more bedrooms, a full bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, plus a large rumpus opening to a balcony that frames the view beautifully. Whether that upper-level retreat becomes a second lounge, reading room or teenagers’ hangout, it gives the home real depth.

Outside, the setting is very much your own private sanctuary. The deck steps out to a rolling lawn bordered by established planting and mature trees, with room to entertain, let kids roam, or simply enjoy the calm that comes with being this well positioned. There is also scope to set up a spa area outdoors and make the most of those pleasant evenings looking out across the landscape. A double garage, laundry, internal access and ample parking round things out with the kind of utility a home of this calibre should have.

Hope continues to appeal for exactly this reason: you get breathing room, a more peaceful setting and easy connection through to Richmond, Tasman’s everyday amenities and key routes when you need them.
