66 Eighty Eight Valley Road, Wakefield, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

Wakefield village has a rich, historically significant past, including the oldest school and second oldest church still in use. The pioneers of the area had the foresight to keep tracts of native bush, often cut over for the best logs, and now, 150 years later, the totara, matai and kahikatea tower over the regenerating bush in the nearby Faulkners reserve and here on this property. The original homestead on this site has gone, and in the 1960s a new home was built, set in an elevated, sunny position on the edge of the village. For sale is a wonderful combination of the 1960s dwelling, in mostly original condition, a large, more modern shed/garage, grazing paddocks and a 7800 m2 (approximately) block of native bush, protected by a QEII covenant. The sunny home is heated by a logburner and heatpump, and the floorplan has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom to one side of the dwelling, with a separate large room, a second bathroom and partial kitchenette, at the other end, allowing for several accommodation or work from home options. It is now time for the current family to pass the mantle of custodianship to new owners, to cherish, protect and hopefully build on what has already been done here. Please contact us for more information and viewing times, as we will not be holding open homes.
