60 Takaka Hill Highway, Riwaka, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

Set across 8.2 hectares of fertile land in a sought after Tasman location, this estate combines heritage living, productive horticulture and established tourism income. Positioned just minutes from Kaiteriteri Beach, the property is surrounded by native bush with access to the Riwaka River nearby.

At the centre of the property sits a restored 1904 villa, rebuilt and renovated in 2022 by a Master Builder and architect in a style sympathetic to its original character. High ceilings, French doors and wraparound kwila decking connect the home to the surrounding gardens and vineyard.

Solid American white oak flooring features throughout the main living areas, with wool carpet in the bedrooms and natural stone in the bathrooms. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area looks out across the gardens and vineyard rows.

The kitchen includes Caesarstone countertops, double wall ovens including combination microwave oven, a five burner gas hob with wok function, built in wine cooler and concealed breakfast and coffee cabinet.

Three bedrooms open directly to the deck via French doors. The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with underfloor heating, while the main bathroom also features natural stone finishes and underfloor heating. Gas central heating, thermally broken double glazing and quality insulation ensure year round comfort.

Outdoor living includes a sunken entertaining area with barbeque and Bushbeck chimney, a stamped concrete terrace with five-person spa pool and a heated outdoor shower.

The land supports several established horticultural operations. Approximately one hectare of vineyard produces Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A commercial olive grove of around 400 trees divided between Barnea and Frantoio cultivars contributes to olive oil production, while four hectares of hops are currently leased, providing additional income.

The grounds include a large vegetable garden, potting shed, a variety of fruit and nut trees and two paddocks suitable for grazing or further planting.

Three additional accommodation buildings provide further income potential. A fully consented one bedroom cottage, renovated in 2024 and currently operating as a successful Airbnb, overlooks the vineyard. Two further cottages; both with existing use rights; are currently tenanted.

Extensive sheds and working facilities support the property’s operations, including tractor storage, a fully equipped workshop, wine storage area, office space and a bar with additional lounge.

The property also operates an established cellar door business producing approximately 5,000 bottles of wine annually alongside olive oil sales, with existing consents for a tasting room and bonded wine storage.

Combining a restored villa, productive land, established accommodation income and a functioning cellar door business, 60 Takaka Hill Highway presents a rare lifestyle and business opportunity in one of Tasman’s most desirable locations.
