2471 Motueka Valley Highway, Motueka, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

A unique lifestyle property in Motueka Valley, comprises around 12.5 hectares of mixed pasture & regenerating bush, plus a secluded home high on a hill, designed to be low maintenance, warm and comfortable. Constructed in 2010, the residence is north-facing, on an elevated site affording tranquil rural and mountain views. To guarantee comfort, a great deal of thought went into the design of this off-grid home. Quality wool insulation, cleverly designed eaves, a heat transfer system and double glazing ensure that you are warm in the winter and cool in the summer, while solar panels and a range with a wetback provide lashings of hot water - along with a traditional way of cooking. As far as future-proofing is concerned, this home performs exceptionally well, such a bonus in these uncertain times. The floor plan is also practical; there's a combined kitchen and diner that flows out to a terrace where you can dine alfresco. The adjoining sitting room has patio doors opening onto the sheltered deck and off the internal hallway are the laundry nook, two double bedrooms with an elegant 'Jack and Jill ensuite', with a separate toilet alongside. A separate double glazed & insulated sleepout with shower & toilet also grace this tranquil property.
The grounds are a revelation, there's a chook pen, a garage and carport, a fruit bowl orchard, a vegetable garden and eucalyptus for firewood, along with a very clever wine cellar that's been dug into the hillside. In addition, there is plenty of grazing for livestock and scope to utilize the lower lying flat field to grow more produce, maybe for commercial gain. This property is in the charming settlement of Woodstock, pretty much halfway between Ngatimoti and Dovedale schools. The trip to Motueka CBD takes less than half an hour, so you're not far off the beaten track if you need to visit the supermarket or your GP. It's my pleasure to bring this distinctive property to the market, so call me to view. You'll love it!
